This research was conducted to get the basic information for improving production amount as well as fruit quality by using Prohaxadion-Calcium (Pro-Ca) used as 'Sato Nishiki', cherry cultivar, which is most frequently cultivated in Korea. In fruiting trees, we used Pro-ca and concentration of treatment selected 150, 200 and $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. When treating Pro-Ca $200\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, we could get the highest effect on inhibition of shoot growth. All treatments of Pro-Ca were increased chlorophyll a and b, respectively compared with control. Although treatments of Pro-Ca treatment showed the decreased effect on leaf area and there was no difference in fruit quality among treatments. Also, Pro-Ca $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, sprayed 3 times, and pclobutrazol ($PP_{333}$) 500 and $1,000\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, applicated soil, were treated to 1 year old plnted pot. Pro-Ca and $PP_{333}$ showed inhibition of shoot growth, especially, Pro-Ca showed the more effect than $pp_{333}$ on growth inhibition. Soil applications of $pp_{333}$ showed less effect to enlargement of tree trunk compared to Pro-Ca and control. Pro-Ca and $pp_{333}$ were not difference in number of inter-nodes when comparing to control, but they on decreased leaf area and increased chlorophyll.

This study have done to get the basical information that would be useful to make the ecological planting, selection of suitable species and weeding plan by the relation between the leading shoot elongation of several species and the climatic factors in the plantation. Sampling measurement have been done in the trial forest of Korean German Forest Management Project located in Joil-ri, Samnam-myeon and Ichcon-ri, Sangbug-myeon, Ulju-gun. The former is in lowland at 100m latidude and the latter is in highland of 600 m latitude. The elongation of leading shoot has been measured in the plantation with 10 days interval from the beginning of March in 1979 and the climatic datas has gotten in the weather station closed to the plantation. 1. The change of air temperature and rainfall in each measuring site is like Fig 1. and 2. The similar temperature in 600 m high latitude is coming about 10 days latter than 100 m latitude. 2. Genus pine as Pinus thunbergii, P. rigida, P. rigitaeda. P. koraiensis and P. taeda begin their leading shoot growth during March and air temperature in that time is around $6^{\circ}C$. In highland their beginning of leading shoot elongation has been found out 10 days latter than lowland. However Abies, Larix and Picea has shown to open their leading shoot during May, 40 days late in comparing with genus pine, and then temperature is making around $15^{\circ}C$. But Cryptomeria, Chamaecyparis and Cedrus deodora has shown their leading shoot opening in March in lowland and May in high land. The reason of late opening, specially in highland, seems to be the influence of winter frost. 3. Most of leading shoot elongation of genus pine has finished during the end 10 days of April and May under range of air temperate $10^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ and other species has finished most of their elongation during the end 10 days of May and June with air temperature range of $18^{\circ}C$ to $20^{\circ}C$. So the suitable season of weeding works show to genus pine in May and other species in June. 4. The leading shoot growth of genus pine has started earlier and closed earlier too than other species and, when over than $20^{\circ}C$ air temperature, their growth is decreasing quickly. Pices abies as well show to be decreased suddenly in over than $20^{\circ}C$ temperature. Other species show the similar trend when over than $22^{\circ}C$. This reason is considered as high temperature of summer season. 5. Annual elongated days of leading shoot of Picea abies is 50 days, Abies hollophylla 70 days, and more than 85 percentage of shoot growth of Pinus koraiensis and Larix leptolepsis are growing during 70 dys as well. The shoot growing days of Chamaecyparis, P. rigida, P. rigitaeda, P. taeda and P. shunbergii show longer period as over than 120 days. 6. The shoot elongation times per year of Abies and Picea has closed as one times and Genus pine is continuring their elongation more than two times. But Cryptomeria, Chamaecyparis, Cedrus deodora and Larix show one or two times elongation depending on the measuring site. The reason of continuring elongation more than than two times seems to be influenced by the temperature in summer season except the genetical reason. 7. Depending on the above results, as the high temperature in summer season could give the influence to grow the leading shoot in the plantation, this would be the considering point on the ecological planting and selection of the suitable species to the slope aspect. The elongation pattern by the season show to be the considering point too to decide the the weeding and fertilizer dressing time by the species.

To seek for restoration method of Abies koreana forest with planting seedlings, Abies koreana seedlings(2, 3 and 5 year old) were planted by date(spring and summer) and surface treatment (coir-mat, coir-net and control) at Janggumok area in Hallasan. Survival rate and shoot growth of the seedlings were measured and compared by planting date, seedling age and surface treatments. For summer planting, survival rates of the seedlings are increased with increasing seedling ages, and those are not differed between surface treatments. For spring planting, survival rates of the seedlings are increased with decreasing seedling ages, and those are not differed between surface treatments. For summer planting, shoot growth of the seedlings are significantly differed between surface treatments. Shoot growth of the seedlings was the highest value 2.11mm at coir-matted plot, and the lowest value 1.49mm at control B)lot. Shoot growth of the seedlings are not differed between the seedling ages, but the highest shoot growth was 2.26mm at coir-matted and 3-year old plot. For spring planting, survival rates and shoot growth of the seedlings are not differed between seedling ages and surface treatments.

This study was performed to clarify the effect of medium compositions and plant growth regulators on the shoot, root formation and growth of 'Jarang' grape for mass propagation of virus-free plant. The formation and growth of shoot were considerably favorable in half-concentration of MS medium. However, the formation of adventitious root per explants (avg. 2.1) was effective in higher concentration (two times) of MS medium. For sucrose concentration, 1% for the shoot formation, 3% for the adventitious root formation and 1% for the growth were observed as yield significant results. With the addition of 0.05% of activated carbon, the shoot growth was improved, and it was effective for the adventitious root formation and growth as well. A pH of 6.8 in the medium was the most suitable for mass propagation; the results showed significant enhancement in the number of nodes and the length of the shoot, 3.9 and 1.3 cm, respectively. The shoot growth was the most vigorous in BA 1.0 mg/L due to the impact of the growth regulator on the mass propagation in it. Consequently, 16.9 shoots per explant were formed in NAA 1.0 mg/L so good results were obtained.

In vitro shoot tip culture technique was established in pear (Pyrus pyrifolia 'Niitaka') as related to tree vigor, sampling time, and plant growth regulators and sucrose supplemented to medium. Shoot tips excised in June from the tree having medium-vigor developed good shoots. BA (1.0 and 2.0 mg/L) without NAA produced shoots suitable for proliferation, and NAA supplemented to medium resulted in poor shoot growth and excessive callus formation. BA of 2.0 mg/L combined with 0.01 mg/L NAA provided shoots suitable for rooting and sucrose of 30 g/L was recommended for proliferation medium. A fourth strength MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA produced plantlets in good quality of root number and root length.

The aim of this study was to develop an effective production system of blueberry plants by using tissue culture technique. Murashige and skoog medium (MS) and woody plant medium (WPM) were compared for shoot formation of highbush blueberries. Also medium supplemented with zeatin/2-isopentenyl adenine (2iP)/benzyl aminopurine (BA) (1, 2/10, 15/4, $6mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$)and zeatin/2iP/BA (0.5/10, 15/$0.05mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) as plant growth regulators to determine the effect of shoot formation and shoot proliferation, respectively. The shoot explants cultured on WPM showed higher shoot formation rates, more number of nodes, and longer root length than those on MS medium during the primary culture. Shoots were not formed when the explants were cultured on the medium without plant growth regulators or on only BA. The shoot explants cultured on the medium supplemented with 2iP showed low rates of shoot formation. On the other hand, zeatin was the most effective for shoot formation and growth of the explants. Also influence of different cytokinins (zeatin, 2iP) on the shoot proliferation of subcultured shoot explants was studied. There was no significant difference among the different concentrations of zeatin in the rate of shoot formation and number of shoots. However at higher concentration of zeatin, number of nodes was increased, and shoot length was shorted. The proper concentrations of zeatin for shoot propagation in subculture were found to be $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$.

The genotypic (2n, 3n, 4n) response of watermelon in vitro shoot tip culture was evaluated. Different genotypes had similar response in terms of shoot formation and growth. Shoot formation was better at lower concentration of 0.3 mg/L BA and higher concentration of 5-10.0 mg/L 2iP and kinetin, but growth of newly formed shoot was inhibited. With further subculture, kinetin did not promote shoot formation Better shoot formation was observed at 0.3-0.5 mg/L BA. Combination of 0.3 mg/L BA and 0.3-0.5 mg/L BA was effective in shoot multiplication, growth and induction of more internodes. Varrying levels of light intensity and agar concentration did not affect the performance of tetraploid plants. Higher light intensity and agar concentrations decreased the number of shoot formed in triploid plane. Growth in both genotype, however was inhibited. Higher light intensity was found to promote leaf senescence in all genotypes. All growth inhibitors decreased the number of shoots formed and slowed plant growth there by prolonging duration of cultures. Growth inhibitors were to observed to decrease incidence of hyperhydricity in culture. No difference in shoot formation was observed in each of the concentrations used in Ancymidol, TIBA, CCC and PP333. Shoot formation and growth was more inhibited in ABA treatments. Leaf expansion and growth was poor in all treatments.

This study was conducted to establish the optimal condition for in vitro propagation of Disporum sessile. In the experiments with different kinds of media (MS, B5 and WPM) and explant types for shoot induction and elongation, the highest number of shoot inductions (2.5/explant) was shown when the axillary bud explants were cultured on MS medium without plant growth regulators (PGRs). The best shoot elongation (7.2 cm) was also obtained when the apical buds were cultured on MS medium. The effect of BA pulse treatments with in vitro shoots was also examined. The highest in shoot induction (2.29/explant) and elongation (7.28 cm) was observed when the shoots from axillary buds were cultured on the media without PGRs. However, it decreased with increasing duration of BA pulse-treatment. The highest rooting rate (100%) and number of root inductions (21.3/explant) were achieved with 1.0 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) treatment, whereas no differences were observed by different shoot types. The regenerated in vitro plantlets were hardened and successfully established in soil.

Appropriate pruning is very important for southern highbush blueberries cultivated in a heated plastic house to control their severe crowding within the bush canopy after harvest. Pruning treatments at different times were evaluated to find out an appropriate pruning time to southern highbush 'Scintilla' cultivation with heating. Seven-year-old (2018) bushes, grown in 180-L containers, were summer-pruned on May 20 (35-39 days after harvest) and June 20, or dormant-pruned on December 20 (5 days before flowering), consecutively in both 2018 and 2019 removing 30% of the total woods. May pruning activated occurrence of shoots the following years, increasing number of shoot by 17 to 49% and total shoot length by 18 to 32% compared with those of the dormant pruning. Fruit characteristic was not significantly affected by different pruning times the previous year. The first year pruning treatment did not influence the yield the following year, but the second year consecutive May pruning significantly increased yield per bush by 7% compared with the dormant pruning. The results indicated that summer pruning in May could be favorable to promote shoot growth and to maintain stable yield.

An effective in vitro multiplication method was developed for clones of Populus davidiana Dode. Ten different media were tested for their effect on shoot multiplication. Both MS and LP medium with 0.2mg/l BAP appeared to be the best for the shoot multiplication with the rate of 9 shoots per explant. There were significant differences among the clones in both multiplication rate and shoot growth. While some clones did not require BAP to promote shoot formation, others did. More than 60% of in vitro shoots rooted on the half-strength GD medium containing 0.2mg/l IBA.
