Zingiberaceae plants are perennial herbs whose flowers, leaves, fruits, or tuberous rhizomes have edible, medicinal, and ornamental values. The family is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, with 1,370 species in 52 genera worldwide.
Zingiberaceae is a treasure trove of medicinal and food plants, most of which can be used for medicinal, food, ornamental, flavoring, and baking spices and dyes. Therefore, to better exploit and protect the resources, germplasm innovation, and new variety selection, as well as breeding and cultivation technology research are needed.
Lifeasible uses different parts of Zingiberaceae plants such as young leaves, tubers, roots, stem tips, and shoots as explants, and inoculates them on MS as the basic medium with different concentrations of hormone combinations for induction of healing tissues (adventitious shoot induction), proliferation (clump shoot proliferation), differentiation culture and root transplantation of seedlings in vitro to obtain high-quality seedlings with vigorous growth, high yield and strong disease resistance.

Zingiberaceae plants have a long history of cultivation, rich germplasm resources, and many local varieties. To accelerate the selection and breeding of new varieties of Zingiberaceae plants, especially specialized varieties suitable for different processed products, Lifeasible has established a tissue culture system for several species of Zingiberaceae plants, which can provide a strong guarantee for germplasm improvement and selection and breeding of new varieties of this family.
