In order to optimize tissue culture conditions for genetic transformation of orchardgrass, the effects of culture medium supplements on tissue culture responses were investigated with mature seeds of 3 cultivars, 'Frode'. 'Roughrider' and 'Frontier' as explant tissues. Callus induction medium containing 3mg/L 2,4-D or 3mg/L dicamba each with 0.1mg/L BA was optimal fer embryogenic callus formation from mature seed and had a strong effect on successive plant regeneration. The regeneration frequency from embryogenic callus among cultivars were descending order of Roughrider > Frode > Frontier. Supplementation of the regeneration media with 10mg/L $AgNO_3$ and 40mg/L cysteine enhanced frequency of plant regeneration. Efficient regeneration system established in this study will be useful fur molecular breeding of orchardgrass through genetic transformation.

This study was aimed to proliferate Gentiana axillariflora Leveille which is one of the important medicinal and ornamental plants, by establishment of multiple shoot formation and embryogenesis through tissue culture technique. Callus was formed on MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium supplemented with 2,4-D, CPA, but not formed with BAP. The addition of 2,4-D 2 mg/ l into the medium was effective for callus formation and the rate of callus formation was about 90%. Somatic embryos were obtained on MS medium for two months. When callus was cultured on MS medium with combination treatment of 2,4-D 0.5 mg/ l and BAP 0.5 mg/ l, the number of embryo formed was better than that of other single or combination treatments and the total numbers of embryo a were 18.8 (number of total embryo/number of explants incubated = 753/40) at mean. Callus induction from stem and node explants was increased by addition of TDZ 2 mg/ l in the presence of 2,4-D 2 mg/ l, respectively. The best result about the differentiation of shoots was obtained on MS medium added BAP 2 mg/ l from node culture. Multiple shoots from shoot apex were induced on MS medium containing BAP 1 mg/ I and TDZ 1 mg/ l , BAP 2 mg/ l and TDZ 1 mg/ l. The number of multiple shoots per one explant was above seventy plants. It was the most effective regeneration system for rapid multiplication of Gentiana axillariflora Leveille.

Embryogenic calli of Codonopsis lanceolata were cultured on MS agar medium containing various concentrations of sucrose as a carbon source. Upon transfer to MS basal medium, somatic embryos of cotyledonary stage converted to plantlets. When sucrose was added with greater than 4%, the number of shoots and roots regenerated from somatic embryo increased. However, the growth of shoots and roots was retarded in agar medium with more than 2% sucrose, but promoted in medium with lower concentration of sucrose. Saponin contents of shoots regenerated from somatic embryos, embryogenic calli, non-embryogenic calli, and native roots were determined by HPLC. Saponin contents of native root was variable, depending on regenerant, embryogenic calli, and cotyledonary embryos. The saponin contents of regenerated roots in medium with high sucrose was similar to native roots. Saponins content based on cell differentiation to shoot and root was dramatically decreased. This results could be effectively controlled for the production of useful secondary metabolites.

We established that regenerated plants of Panax ginseng were directly transplanted into the soil without the acclimatization process. When regenerated plants were treated at the concentration of $0.4mg\;l^{-1}$ for 9 hr before transplantation into the soil, our results showed that the survival rate of them was the highest. The optimal size of the root was above 4 cm in length and 0.4 g by weight before transplantation into the soil. The highest survival rate increased to 59.6%. After 4 years of cultivation in the fields, our results showed that there were no significant morphological differences between regenerated plants and wild-type ginseng. Also, we obtained healthy seeds from regenerated plants. This study provides the basis for a relatively rapid multiplication of selected genotypes and will allow a much more rapid evaluation of the germplasm of the unexplored and unstudied Korean ginseng.

Somatic embryos were induced through embryogenic callus derived from immature zygotic embryo culture of native Prunus yedoensis in Mt. Halla and regenerated into plantlets successfully. Embryogenic callus was induced most effectively on MS medium with 1.0 mg/L 2, 4-D and 0.1 mg/L BAP at an efficiency of approximately 60% using 45 day-old zygotic embryos after full blooming. Globular somatic embryos were induced from embryogenic callus on MS medium with 1.0 mg/L 2, 4-D and 0.1 mg/L BAP and these globular embryos developed to heart-shaped and cotyledonary embryos on hormone-free MS medium. Normal somatic embryos germinated 49% on 1/2 MS medium and the plants regenerated from the somatic embryos were morphologically normal.

Callus induction from leaf and stem explants of Arabidopsis thaliana was successfully obtained when leaf explants were cultured on MS medium containing 2.0 mg/L 2,4-D in the dark and also, when stem explants were cultured on CP medium containing 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.1 mg/L BAP. Explant-derived sliced calli were suspension-subcultured every week in CP liquid medium with 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.1 mg/L BAP in the dark, and shoot-forming cell clusters of nodular, pale yellow and knobby type were selected after 7-8 weeks of culture. Shoots were initiated from the green spots of the selected shoot forming calli cultured on MS regeneration medium containing 0.05 mg/L IAA, 7.0 mg/L 2-iP and 30 g/L sucrose under continous illumination for four weeks. Shoot regeneration frequency (calli regenerating at least one shoot) was more than 50%. For plant regeneration, excised shoots were trnasferred to hormone free medium for root initiation after 4 weeks of culture. The regenerants were bolting after 2 weeks of culture and formed in vitro flowering buds within bracts after 4 weeks of culture.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of various media compositions in regeneration of Lilium lancifolium. The adventitious bud initiation from microscale was the best on MS medium supplemented with BAP 1.0 mg/L and NAA 0.1 mg/L after 4 weeks of culture. However, from bulbscales, adventitious bud initiation was the best in dark condition on MS medium supplemented with BAP 0.5 mg/L and NAA 0.1 mg/L. On the other hand, callus induction was found to be the best from the microscales incubated in complete dark condition for 8 weeks on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D 1.0 mg/L and BAP 0.1 mg/L. The highest plantlet regeneration from callus was obtained after incubation in the light condition for 8 weeks on MS medium supplemented with NAA 0.5 mg/L and BAP 0.1 mg/L. Rooting of shoots was obtained easily on MS medium and the plantlets were transferred to soil pots after 8 weeks. The chromosome analysis of the root tip cells was revealed that the callus-derived plantlets had normal chromosome number, 2n=24. No variation was observed in the morphology of the plantlets.

Cotyledonary abnormalities were observed in secondary somatic embryos which were developed from calli cultured on MS medium with various concentrations of 2,4-D. In MS medium containing hormone-free or $0.1mg/{\ell}$ 2,4-D, the frequency of normal embryo formation with two cotyledons were above 57%. According to concentration of 2,4-D increment the frequency of normal embryos were decreased. In MS medium containing $4mg/{\ell}$ 2,4-D, the frequency of normal embryo formation was just 10%. The rate of germination was as follows; 37.7% of somatic embryos had one cotyledon, 85% two cotyledons, 38% three cotyledons, 35% four cotyledons, 25% five cotyledons and 29% trumpet-like cotyledons. About 80% of the embryos with two cotyledons were converted into normal plants, but one, three or four cotyledons were only 6.8~10%. The five or trumpet-like embryos were not developed into normal plants.
