The aim of this research was carried out to rapid multiplication of Curcuma aromatica salisb with large quantities, uniform and good quality, stored and transported easily which are advantageous for in vitro multiplication. Experiment comprised: the effect of tree concentration Benzyl adenin (3, 5, 7 mg/L) and six concentration sucrose (20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 mg/L) on the in vitro microrhizome production were investigated. | Effect of benzyl adenine and sucrose for in vitro microrhizome production in curcuma aromatica salisb AGU International Journal of Sciences – 2019, Vol 7 (3), 17 – 27 EFFECT OF BENZYL ADENINE AND SUCROSE FOR IN VITRO MICRORHIZOME PRODUCTION IN CURCUMA AROMATICA SALISB Nguyen Thi Thuy Diem1 1 An Giang University, VNU - HCM Information: ABSTRACT Received: 04/10/2018 The aim of this research was carried out to rapid multiplication of Curcuma Accepted: 13/08/2019 aromatica salisb with large quantities, uniform and good quality, stored and Published: 11/2019 transported easily which are advantageous for in vitro multiplication. Experiment Keywords: comprised: the effect of tree concentration Benzyl adenin (3, 5, 7 mg/L) and six Sucrose, microrhizomes, in concentration sucrose (20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 mg/L) on the in vitro vitro, Curcuma aromatica, microrhizome production were investigated. The experiment was arranged in a Benzyl adenin. completely randomized form, two-factor, 18 treatments and 5 replications. The results indicated that shoots of Curcuma aromatica salisb cultured on MS medium supplemented with 80 g/L sucrose and BA 3 - 5 mg/L for to be the most suitable medium for in vitro microrhizomes induction of Curcuma aromatica with time sooner, the rate of in vitro tuber formation, the number of tubers, tuber weight and tuber diameter reached the highest after 16 weeks of culture. 1. INTRODUCTION types. On the other hand, white turmeric was White turmeric (Curcuma aromatic Salisb) is a demonstrated diffent from essenttial oil into white rare medicinal herb plant species, in Zinger family turmeric plant such as anti- inflammatory, anti – Zingiberaceae, this is projecting to develop platelet aggregation, cough suppression and herbs plant source in An Giang province from kidney protection (Sikha et al., 2015). now onwards to the year 2020. Studies show the In nature, white turmeric occurs from .
