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.

The growth of terminal shoots of persimmon (Diospyros kaki) was analyzed during the first two months from the time of bud sprout to understand the dynamics of their early growth. Field-grown, mature 'Fuyu' and 'Nishimurawase' trees were used in a three-year study at two locations in Gyeongnam province. The growth of terminal shoots was most active from late April, about 10 days after foliation, to early May, followed by a gradual decline by late May. The increase in leaf area continued unabated throughout May. The weight of a flower bud increased slowly until early May and rapidly after flowering. Although its extension growth had been ceased by late May, dry weight (DW) of a terminal shoot continued to increase almost linearly throughout May due to shoot thickening and continued growth of leaves and fruits. In late May, the leaves and the stem accounted for more than 60% and less than 20% of total DW of a shoot respectively; fruit proportion increased to 7 to 17% by then. Relative growth rate (RGR) of the terminal shoot was higher than 213 $mg{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ in late April, but declined to less than 63 $mg{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ in late May. Like the pattern of seasonal changes in RGR, net assimilation rate (NAR) of the shoots decreased from 1.9 to 2 $mg{\cdot}cm^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ to 0.5 to 0.8 $mg{\cdot}cm^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$. An early-season 'Nishimurawase' did not differ from a late-season 'Fuyu' in RGR and NAR during the first two months of growth. The early growth of the shoots was affected mainly by the reserves redistributed from permanent organs, however, environmental conditions at the time was also involved.

When the leaf and stem tissues of Rehmannia glutinosa were cultured on MS medium with plant growth regulators, shoots were regenerated on MS medium with TDZ(0.01 to $2.0{\mu}M$), and root initiation was better on MS medium treated with NAA(0.01 to 2.0mg/$\iota$). On $B_5$ medium, shoot regeneration was better on medium with TDZ than those with Quincrac, NAA, and 2.4-D. The addition of Quincrac, NAA, and 2.4-D inhibited shoot regeneration on MS medium, but promoted shoot regeneration on $B_5$ medium. Shoot regeneration and growth was better on MS medium with the combination treatments of 2.4-D 0.01mg/$\iota$ and TDZ 0.01, 0.1 and $2{\mu}M$ compared with other treatments. Also shoot regeneration and growth on B_5 medium showed the similar results to that on MS medium.

This experiments were carrid out to examine the effects of liquid medium addition in same vessels on shoot elongation and rooting, and soil survival of plantlets after the shoot cluster sections of Spathiphyllum floribundum 'Cupid' were pre-cultured. The shoot clusters with 3 to 4 small shoots were proliferated on LS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L BA for 8 weeks, and then 15 mL of various kinds of liquid medium was added in the same vessels. The addition of 15 mL liquid medium containing l/2 MS macro elements, 50 g/L sucrose and 5.0∼10.0 g/L activated charcoal was significantly stimulated the elongation and rooting of proliferated shoots. The medium addition was resulted in the enhanced soil survival of plantlets.

The purpose of this study was to investigate shooting and fruiting characteristics of persimmon 'Hachiya' affected by sub-zero temperature at early budding stage. The number of developed shoots, and the number of shoots with young fruits, and the shooting and fruiting of terminal buds of one-year-old branch (1YOB) were significantly decreased with the sub-zero temperature treatment (SZT). The number of shoots developed in the top of 1YOB decreased 47.2% due to SZT. The number of shoots with fruits was significantly decreased at 50% or higher in non-budding rate of 1-YOB. Especially the number of fruits (Y) at the three terminal buds of 1YOB was significantly affected by SZT and the non-budding rate (X) as Y = -0.145X + 12.950 ($r^2=0.4672^*$). Therefore, in the early budding stage of persimmon, when tree is affected by SZT ($-2^{\circ}C$, 3 hours), shoots growth is reduced and increase of 10% in non-budding rate reduces 1.4 of fruits per the three terminal buds of 1YOB.

To examine aluminum toxicity on woody plants, Forsythia koreans and Platanus occidentalis cuttings were grown in the pot(48$\times$33$\times$9cm) filled with sand, and treated aluminum solution and ground water (pH 6.75) 3times per week from April 28, 1993 to June 16. Aluminum solution were prepared 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0mM aluminum potassium sulfate, dilulted with ground water. Growth-related characters (Shoot growth, leaf number and leaf chlorophyll content ) and root growth were measured and compared among the treatments. In all growth-related characters(Shoot growth, leaf number and leaf chlorophyll content), differences among the treatments were highly significant. In root growth, differences among the treatments were highly significant for Forsythia koreana cuttings, but not for Platanus occidentalis cuttings.

This study was conducted to elucidate the influence of prohexadione-calcium (Pro-Ca) application on shoot growth and fruit quality in 'Fuji'/M.9 mature apple trees. Pro-Ca was applied at concentrations ranging from 100 to $400mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ one time at petal fall (PF; 5-10 cm terminal shoot growth) to the whole canopy of the tree, or at 100, 125, $150mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ concentrations two times, at PF and then 4-8 weeks after PF. Pro-Ca treatment generally reduced mean shoot growth, with its effect being proportional to the application rate. Pro-Ca at $400mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ significantly reduced the shoot growth by 15-22% compared to the control, while its effect was not significantly different from Pro-Ca $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. Pro-Ca treatments induced higher occurrence of secondary growth compared to the control. Pro-Ca treatment increased the photosynthetic rate by 5-10% relative to the control, and also increased soluble solid concentration and fruit red color. However, fruit weight was significantly reduced by $400mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ Pro-Ca, which was attributable to the greater secondary growth caused Pro-Ca $400mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ treatment compared to the control and Pro-Ca $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ treatment.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimal conditions for efficient in vitro growth of Asparagus cochinchinensis (Lour.) Merr. shoot derived from shoot tip. Shoots were successfully cultured in MS medium. It was found that $23^{\circ}C{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ were suitable for shoot growth. The growth of shoot was greatly influenced by cytokinins. The shoots derived from shoot tip were well elongated on MS medium supplemented with BA and zeatin. In vitro shoots were very poor or no growing. Especially, 3.0 mg/l BA on MS medium was very effective in elongation of shoot. Root formation from in vitro growth of plant let was achieved on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l IBA. The results suggest that selection of plant growth regulator could be important factor to achieve an efficient in vitro growth.

This study was conducted to find out a proper cutting time as related with a growth pattern for the mass propagation of Corylopsis coreana, which is one of the Korean endemic plant. New shoots began to grow in early April soon after end of blooming time and grew rapidly until the end of June. Shoot growth became dull after June and stopped in early September, showing a typical primary growth curve of temperate deciduous trees which show only one flush of growth throughout an annual growth cycle. The moisture content of shoot was the highest in an early growing season of May, and decreased with shoot maturity. Moisture content of cuttings taken on June 20 was 71.2%. Rooting was better in softwood cuttings than in hardwood cuttings. The highest value of rooting percentage was obtained in cuttings taken on June 20.
