Title

A comparative analysis of root system characteristics, endogenous hormones, and transcriptome responses in tissue cultured ginger

Xiaoqin Zhao; Jinlian Yuan; Yunhui Yu; et al. BMC Plant Biology 2026. doi:10.1186/s12870-026-08199-1

Other claims from this paper (8)

Intervention effect CS ginger had a smaller fibrous root diameter than BS and PBS gingers.
Intervention effect CS ginger had a lower cortex-to-stele ratio in fleshy roots than BS and PBS gingers.
Intervention effect CS root showed significantly higher expression of differentially expressed genes associated with starch and sucrose metabolism than BS root.
Intervention effect CS root showed increased activity of starch-degrading enzymes compared with BS root.
Intervention effect Flavonoid content was significantly reduced in CS root.
Intervention effect Levels of ABA, trans-Zeatin riboside and salicylic acid were lower in CS root.
Intervention effect Concentrations of IAA, jasmonic acid and gibberellin A3 were significantly higher in CS root.
Mechanism The authors conclude that CS ginger has weaker root biomass likely owing to regulation of starch and sucrose metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis and phytohormone levels.
