Efficient plant regeneration via shoot organogenesis from in vitro cultured leaf segments of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev cv. Namjeon) was achieved. Adventitious shoot formation from leaf explants was greatly influenced by plant growth regulator, leaf age, light condition, explant number per culture vessel, and explant orientation. Leaf segments, obtained from fully expanded young 1-2nd leaves and inoculated 8 explants per petri-dish with adaxial surface contact with MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BA and 2.0 mg/L NAA, produced 100% regeneration frequency and 13.7 shoots per explant. Regenerated adventitious shoots were successfully rooted in MS medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA. The plantlets were acclimatized in artificial soil mixtures (Vermiculite:Perlite=1:1), and transferred to greenhouse for flowering. The regenerated plants showed normal phenotypes.

Apples are the most grown fruit crops in the fruit industry of Korea. However, virus or viroid infection such as apple mosaic virus (ApMV), apple stem grooving capillovirus (ASGV), apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd) causes fruit yield reduction and poor fruit quality. Therefore, in this study, we examined to established an efficient virus-free system to eliminate the most infected ASGV virus in domestic apple orchard. We investigated that the shoot growth rate and the virus removal rate in ASGV infected potted apples that were treated with heat treatment in a growth chamber (constant temperature/humidity device) maintained at 36℃, 38℃ and 40℃ for 4 weeks. Here we found that the shoot growth rate was the highest in the heat treatment group (36℃) and the virus was removed in the middle and top of the shoot but not in the bottom. The virus was did not removed in the 38℃ and 40℃ heat treatment group in all section of shoots, and the heat treatment group (40℃) died after 4 weeks of heat treatment without growth of shoots. We performed in vivo shoot-tip grafting using the shoot-tip of potted apple heat-treated at 36 ℃, and we also investigated the viability and virus removal rate, which showed 94% viability and 20% virus removal rate. Collectively, our results suggest that it would be possible to produce the virus-free apple plants through heat treatment and shoot-tip grafting.

Calli were induced by culturing the leaf segment of Actinidia deliciosa ${\times}$ A. arguta clone 118 on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0.05 mg/L BA for 8 weeks in light condition. The induced calli were inoculated in liquid MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.1 mg/L NAA, 0.05 mg/L BA and 3% sucrose to establish cell suspension culture. The cells at the exponential stage and the stationary stage could be observed between 5-11 days and after that 12 days in culture, respectively. The fresh weight of callus induced from the suspended cells did not vary much among the media containing eight different combinations of plant growth regulators tested. The highest frequency of shoot induction (88.3%) was observed in MS medium containing 2.0 mg/L zeatin. Either BA or zeatin mixed with thidiazuron (TDZ) seemed to be effective in shoot induction. The induced shoots were transferred to MS medium containing 0.2 mg/L zeatin for further shoot growth. And then the shoots were transferred to Standardi (ST) medium containing 1.0 mg/L indolebutyric acid (IBA) for rooting. Plantlets could be obtained through cell suspension culture of Actinidia deliciosa ${\times}$ A. arguta clone 118.

This study was conducted to establish a regeneration system of plantlets through callus culture induced from bulb scales of Lillium‘Gelria’. Friable callus was induced very easily from bulb scales, and grew vigorously on medium lacking growth regulators. In media with 0.5∼ 1.0 mg/L kinetin and 0.1 ∼ 1.0 mg/L NAA, 100% of explants produced callus. Proliferation of callus was actively occurred on media containing 0.1 ∼ 1.0 mg/L kinetin and 0.1 ∼ 1.0 mg/L NAA. Callus proliferation and regeneration of bulblets from callus were occurred simultaneously. Light condition was more effective for the callus proliferation and solid medium was better than liquid medium. Althrough callus was proliferated vigorously on media containing 0.1 ∼ 1.0 mg/L BA and NAA, the frequncy of plantlet regeneration was better on medium without growth regulators, then on medium with 0.1 mg/L BA and NAA.

Digitalis purpurea L. is a medicinal herb and have been used to congestive heart failure, mycocardial infarction, edema, angina etc. A protocol has been developed for in vitro propagation of adventitious shoot buds directly from leaf segments of D. purpurea Leaf explants of D. purpurea directly formed shoot buds when cultured on a MS medium supplemented with $2\;mg/l$ BA and $0.1\;mg/l$ IAA for 5 weeks. Adventitious shoots were multiplied by subculturing on the $B_5$ medium and shoot elongation was developed by subculturing on the WPM medium. Root formation from the shoot regenerated was achieved on MS basal medium containing 1 mg/ IBA.

This experiment was conducted to micropropagate bulblets via shoot cluster formation and massproduce normal bulblets from the sections of proliferated shoot clusters in Lilium asiatic hybrid 'Hae Hwa'. The induction of shoot clusters from the culture of bulblet sections was more effective than that of bulb scales on MS medium with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L IAA. Proliferation of shoot clusters from the formed shoot cluster sections was the most favorable on medium containing 5.0 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L IAA. The formation and the growth of bulblets from shoot cluster sections were achieved effectively on medium with 60∼90 g/L sucrose. The leaves derived from shoot clusters grew vigorously but the bulblets from shoot clusters grew very poor in 5L air-lift bioreactor culture. By the addition of 30 mL fresh liquid medium containing doulble strength MS salts, 250 g/L sucrose and 5 g/L activated charcoal after 8 weeks in the shoot cluster culture on MS medium with 5.0 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L IAA, the number of bulblets was increased in light condition, but the growth of bulblets was not affected by light. Bulblet production was possible with the bulblet product at 53 to 68 mg in fresh weight by liquid medium addition after the proliferation of shoot cluster.

The study was carried out to establish an efficient protocol for shoot organogenesis and plant regeneration from stem explant cultures of Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Micro-Tom. The regenerated shoots obtained from stem explant cultures on solid MS medium containing the different concentrations of BAP. The highest number of shoots (5.3) per explant and shoot growth (0.7 cm) was obtained on MS medium containing 4.0 mg/L BA. The additions of AgNO$_3$ and putrescine substantially improved the shoot regeneration frequency, at the optimal concentration of 7 mg/L and 50 mg/L respectively. The regenerated shoots (about 1 cm) were normal and could be easily rooted with 0.1 mg/L IBA treatment. The rooted plants were hardened and transferred to vermiculite with a 92% survival rate where they grew normally.

Effect of cytokinins (BA, TDZ, zeatin, 2iP, and kinetin) applied either singly or in combination on in vitro growth of two grape cultivars ('Cabernet Sauvignon' and 'Campbell Early') was investigated as a serial work for mass production of grapevine nursery stocks. In single treatment, shoot growth of two cultivars was most favorable in control. Shoot proliferation was satisfactory with 10 $\mu$M BA regardless of cultivars and cytokinin combinations, followed by TDZ. Other treatments resulted in very poor or no branching. Total explants ready for subculture produced by 10 $\mu$M BA outnumbered those by other treatments. TDZ was also effective. TDZ significantly increased the fresh weight and callus formation while shoot growth was unsatisfactory. Shoot growth response of two cultivars in combined treatments was also most favorable in control as was in single treatments. When TDZ was combined with zeatin, 2iP, and kinetin which failed to induce branching, proliferous branching was induced though the shoot number was behind that of single treatments of BA and TDZ. TDZ was very effective for total number of explants and fresh weight, showing 10-fold increase.

To develop an efficient micropropagation technique for Vitex negundo var. insica, which is known as aromatic and medicinal tree, the effects of various plant growth regulators (PGRs) on in vitro shoot proliferation and rooting were evaluated using the newly-developed shoots of a 3-year-old tree. Multiple shoot induction was achieved effectively on WPM (woody plant medium) supplemented with 0.5-2.0 mg/L BA, and the highest shoot number (7.9/explant) was obtained at the concentration of 1.0 mg/L BA. Typically 1 or 2 superior shoots (about 3.4 cm) were induced on hormone-free WPM. Combined treatment of BA 2.0 + GA 0.5 mg/L appeared to effective on shoot proliferation and rooting. Plant growth regulators added in shoot proliferation medium had strong impact on subsequent rooting as well. Overall, shoots induced by BA treatment resulted in high rooting rates while the effect was reduced gradually by ascending BA levels. TDZ of low concentration also revealed a similar tendency as BA, but the rooting ability was strongly inhibited at the concentration of 0.5 mg/L, and rooting was never observed at the concentrations higher than 0.5 mg/L. Combined treatment of BA and IBA had positive influence in both shoot proliferation and rooting. These results suggest that Vitex negundo var. insica could be effectively micropropagated via axillary bud cultures.
