An efficient and reproducible in vitro regeneration protocol was established for two varieties of ginger (Z. officinale Roscoe) namely, BARI Ada-1 and Chinese ginger accession number SG876). In case of BARI Ada-1 best result was obtained on MS supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP, 0.5 mg/l Kn and 0.5 mg/l NAA. In this combination, 95% rhizome bud explants responded within 6 - 8 days and mean number of shoots per explant was 8.79
