Description Curcuma is gaining importance globally as a potential source of drugs to compat a variety of ailments. Biotechnological interventions in the genus is almost two decades old. Though earlier studies of Curcuma biotechnology were focused mainly on standardization of tissue culture protocols, recent attentions have been towards molecular biology aspects of the genus.
This review gives an up-to-date information on the various aspects of Curcuma biotechnology such as tissue culture protocol standardization, in vitro conservation, in vitro screening, in vitro
microrhizome induction and in vitro pollination besides molecular biology studies.
