Multiple shoots of Curcuma longa were induced by culture of bud explants for 1 week in Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with 72.64 μM thidiazuron (TDZ) prior to culture on MS gelled medium without growth regulator for 8 weeks. The regeneration rate was up to 11.4 ± 1.7 shoots/expl...
