essenttial oil into white turmeric plant such as anti- inflammatory, anti platelet aggregation, cough suppression and kidney protection (Sikha et al., 2015) In nature, white turmeric occurs from rhizome, after about 210 day to establish the rhizome breed (Ravindran et al., 2007) The rhizome has a long domance and germinates the rainy season Beside, the work to maintain source species of white turmeric annually is both costly and effort Often, the disease on the plant such as rhizome is a negative ordor (by Pythium sp.) and spot leaf by Taphrina species and Collectrichum are very damaging to the preservation process breed in field causing the lack of the breed resource in the culture (Nayak & Naik, 2006) Beside, white turmeric is building plan for planting area in An Giang province to make material area This object White turmeric (Curcuma aromatic Salisb) is a rare medicinal herb plant species, in Zinger family – Zingiberaceae, this is projecting to develop herbs plant source in An Giang province from now onwards to the year 2020 Studies show the biological active substances extracted from rhizome in white turmeric contain group acticve antioxidant such as curcuminoid, flavonoid, terpenoid In the adopted antioxidant mechanism, the manufatured product from white turmeric have biological effects such as anti- inflammatory stomach medication from wine (Jeon et al., 2010) The situation artery antherogenesis is reduced (Lee et al., 2010), prevent to injury carcinogenesis on skin by ultraviolet ray (Panich et al., 2010) The power antioxidant mechanism, white turmeric plant has potential to become effect medicine treatment assist for many cancer 17 AGU International Journal of Sciences – 2019, Vol (3), 17 – 27 is new so the white turmeric breed source is seen early So, the cultural technology is set up to produce breed and quality guaranteed to support seedlings free from disease, uniform to request breed produce In making microrhizomes in vitro by
