100% root formation in in vitro cultures was observed regardless of kind and levels of auxin used and explant source. The number of roots/explant was increased in 0.5~1.0 mg/L IAA treatment. Thicker roots were observed with the addition of 9% sucrose compared with medium containing lower sucrose concentrations. Paclobutrazol and chlormequat had no effect on tuberization of formed roots but slightly increased the number of root. In in vivo rooting, soaking of regenerated shoot cuttings to 100 mg/L IBA for 15 to 60 minutes was found effective. Treatment of 0.1% IBA rooting powder and planting in rooting medium composred of vermiculite(1) : perlite(1) gave 100% rooting and survival.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum cultural condition and method for in vitro mass production of Hibiscus syriacus L. 'Honghwarang'. When callus induced in MS solid medium supplemented with 0.01 mg/L TDZ was cultured in liquid medium containing 0.01mg/L TDZ, callus growth and shoot primordia formation was most effective. Formed shoot primordia were regenerated into shoot in MS or 1/2 MS medium of growth regulator-free condition. Effects of mesh size, shaking speed on callus and shoot primordia formation were examined after 5 weeks. Callus and shoot primordia formation was formed most effectively at 10 mesh and 80 rpm shaking speed in liquid medium.

In vitro culture system was established to induce multiple shoots of Albizzia julibrissin Duraz. by investigating the effects of cytokinins. Cotyledon, hypocotyl and root explants were cultured on MS media supplemented with either three different plant growth regulators or their combinations. The most effective cytokinin sources were zeatin 2.0 + TDZ 0.5 mg/L in cotyledon, zeatin 1.0 mg/L in hypocotyl, and BA 0.2 + TDZ 0.01 mg/L in root explant for producing shoots ($5.67\;{\pm}\;1.20$, $19.50\;{\pm}\;3.50$, and $20.50\;{\pm}\;2.47$, respectively). Also, zeatin treatment was tended to induce more shoots rather than the combinations of other cytokinins. In addition, the root induced in 1/2 MS medium without any plant growth regulators was longer and thicker than treatments of IBA, NAA, IAA and 2.4-D as auxins. Overall, the highest average percent of in vitro shoot formation was 73% from three different types of explants with treatment of zeatin (1.0mg/L).

This experiment was carried out in order to determine proper plant growth regulators (PGR) and their concentrations for direct shoot induction and somatic embryogenesis from leaf tissue cultures of Muscari armeniacum 'Early Giant'. Direct shoot formation from the leaf explant culture was effective only on a half-strength MS medium containing $0.1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-D, while embryogenesis was occurred on a half-strength MS medium containing $0.1{\sim}1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IPA or without PGR. The regenerated bulblets derived from embryos or shoots were harvested and transplanted into a greenhouse. The sprouting percentage of bulblets obtained from different culture media ranged from 80 to 100% and growth of quality bulblets was enhanced when the bulblets were harvested from the medium containing $0.1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA and $1.0{\sim}3.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IPA.

The succulent plants of Echeveria genus are in increasing demand worldwide, but it is difficult to supply good quality young plants throughout the year because propagation efficiencies are depend on cultivar and environmental factors. This study was carried out to investigate the propagation efficiencies of leaf cutting in Echeveria cultivars at different LED light qualities in a closed-type plant factory system. Leaf cuttings cut from stock plants of six difficult-to-propagated cultivars 'Afterglow (AG)', 'Berkeley Light (BL)', 'Mason (MS)', 'Subsessilis Light (SL)', 'Cream Tea (CT)', and 'Ben Badis (BB)' were put into cutting media in the plant factory system maintained at a temperature of $24{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity of $60{\pm}10%$, and watered with over-head irrigation twice a week. Cuttings were irradiated with sole or mixed red (R, 660 nm), blue (B, 450 nm), green (G, 530 nm), and far-red (FR, 730 nm) LEDs as follows: R10, R8+B2, R5+B5, R7+B2+FR1, and R7+B2+G1. PPFD just above the cuttings was $200{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and photoperiod was 16/8 (light/dark) hours. As a result, propagation efficiencies were dependent on cultivar. Rooting and shooting were relatively easy in 'SL' but shoot formation in 'AG' was very difficult. Light qualities from LEDs also affected plant regeneration. Light conditions with a higher ratio of B, R5+B5, R7+B2+FR1, and R7+B2+G1, promoted shoot formation and growth but inhibited rooting and root growth. R10 and R8+B2 with a higher ratio of R promoted rooting and root growth and inhibited shoot formation and growth of cuttings. In addition, the treatment with FR increased leaf size and biomass of the all plants. Therefore, further studies are needed to investigate the optimum compositions of LED light quality for the improvement of leaf cutting efficiency in difficultto-propagated Echeveria cultivars.

Immature flowers and lateral buds of Neoregeria carorinae cv. Tricolor were cultured for micropropagation and the collecting times of materials, growth regulators and theirs concentrations, and cultural methods on the formation of adventitious buds and growth were investigated in this experiment The formation rate was the highest in immature flowers collected at 4weeks after flower bud differentiation and in buds at 7weeks after flower differentiation of adventitious buds. MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L BA was the most favorable for the formation of adventitious buds. Solid medium was more effective for the formation of adventitious buds than liquid one. MS medium with 1.0 mg/L NAA was the most suitable for the rooting of regenerated shoot. Liquid medium was effective for the rooting of regenerated shoot than solid one.

Leaf and petiole explants of kiwifruit were cultured on MT basal medium supplimented with 2,4-D, kinetin, NAA, and BA. Higher organogenic callus formation was observed on the media with NAA + BA than on the media added with 2,4-D + kinetin. Adventitious buds were formed only on media with NAA and BA. Leaf was better explant than petiole. When callus and adventitious buds were subcultured, shoot formation responsed best on medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA + 2.0 mg/L zeatin. When shoots were cultured on medium with 0.5 mg/L IAA + 0.1 mg/L BA after soaking for 1 hr at IBA solution, rooting was more effective than non-IBA treatment. Rooted shoots developed into normal plants.

Girdling and girdling+pinching treatments on 'Sekaiichi' apple remarkably reduced June drop and accelerated fruit growth in early stage of fruit development. Girdling+pinching and pinching reduced bourse shoot growth compared with non-treated control. There were no significant differences in flower bud formation in the following year among treatments. It was assumed that the optimum period for girdling is between 5 days before full bloom and full bloom period.

Shoot tips of grape were cultured in uitro and tried to identify optimal culture conditions for regeneration, multiple shoot formation from meristemoid tissue and those subsequent elongation of multi-shoots. Healthy growing shoots were taken in early May, rinsed with running tap water, soaked in a neutral detergent and washed with soft brushing, and washed out with tap water, then sterilized with 10g Ca(ClO)$_2$/140 mL distilled water (Wilson's solution) for 5 min. Survival percentage of the cultures which were sterilized as above procedures was highly increased, compared with the other sterilized method. Propagation of multi-shoots from meristemoid showed a good response in 3/4 strength MS medium enriched with 0.1 mg/L NAA and 3.0 mg/L BA. Shoot elongation from multi-shooting clump well occurred in 3/4 strength MS medium supplemented with 80 mg/L adenine sulfate, 0.1 mg/L NAA and 1.0~2.0 mg/L BA.

The plant height and internodal length of Mentha piperita, Origanum vulgare L., and Thymus vulgaris L. were reduced according to the treatment of 500, 2,500, 5,000 mg/L B-9 and 0.5, 1.0, 5.0 mg/L uniconazole. On the efficiency of dwarfing in 3 herb species, uniconazole was more effective than B-9, but plant height of Thymus vulgaris was more shortened with 2,500mg/L B-9 treatment than 3 levels of uniconazole treatments. Cuttings from 3 kinds of herbs tested were died with 5,000mg/L B-9 treatment. The number of lateral shoots per plant was heighest at control plants and uniconazole was more effective in reducing lateral shoots than B-9. There was no significant difference in leaf growth between B-9. There was no significant difference in leaf growth between B-9 and uniconazole treatments. The root growth of Mentha poperita, Origanum vulare, and Thymus vulagris was not significantly affected by B-9 or uniconazole.
