초록

Effects of growth regulators and medium components were tested for shoot multiplication and callus growth from shoot explants of black locust. During shoot multiplication, callus growth at the cut end of shoot explants proceeded shoot development. The basal callus growth seemed to be a function of both mineral components and cytokinin supplemented in the medium. Maximum callus growth was induced by 0.5${\mu}$M BAP and the callus growth decreased as the level of BAP increased. Positive correlations were found between basal callus growth, and shoot multiplication and growth. Shoot multiplication was greatest on BSM medium (black locust shoot culture medium) supplemented with 1 $\mu$M BAP. With medium containing high nitrogen content, both shoot multiplication and growth were significantly enhanced. A new BRM medium was the most effective for rooting of black locust among three rooting media tested.
