Metabolic profiling of in vitro micropropagated and conventionally greenhouse grown ginger (Zingiber officinale)

A highly efficient, economical, and safe in vitro micropropagation procedure for ginger (Zingiber officinale) was developed. GC/MS- and LC-ESI-MS-based metabolic profiles of in vitro micropropagation derived and greenhouse grown ginger plants demonstrated that this procedure had no significant impact on chemical composition of the resulting plants.
