Abstract
Callus and shoot formation of leaf explants from in vitro propagated shoots and field grown plants depending on the position of leaf, and four boxthron cultivars were investigated. Callus formation of explants from both in vitro shoot and field grown plants as easily achieved at the cut surfaces of explants but the callus formed from leaf of in vitro shoots was hardened as the duration of culture was proceed. Calli were effectively induced from leaves detached from the middle position of both in vitro and in vitro plants on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L NAA with 0.2 mg/L BA, and the growth of calli were better in field grown leaves than in vitro grown leaves. Shoot formation were effectively induced from leaves detached from the upper position in vitro plants, and the middle parts of in vitro plants on MS medium containing 0.01 mg/L (NAA with 0.2 mg/ BA. There was difference on the frequency of shoot formation among four different cultivars; 'Jindojaerae' was the best for shoot formation followed by 'Cheonyang', 'Younghagukija' and 'Cheongyangjaerae'.
구기자나무 (Lycium chinense Mill.)의 절편체 종류, 엽절편체의 착생 부위별 그리고 품종 간 캘러스 형성과 신초분화의 특징을 조사하였다. 기내식물체의 잎과 포장엽 절편체에서의 캘러스는 쉽게 유도되었으나, 기내엽 절편체에서 유도된 캘러스는 배양기간이 경과되면서 딱딱하게 변하였다. 잎의 착생 위치에 따른 캘러스 발생은 포장엽 및 기내엽에서 모두 중간이 양호하였고, 캘러스의 생체중은 기내엽보다는 포장엽 절편체가 더 좋았다. 신초 분화는 중간 부위의 기내엽과 상부위의 포장엽이 양호하였다. 품종간 신초 분화는 '진도재래', '청양', '영하구기자' 그리고 '청양재래' 순으로 양호하였다.
