Experiments were conducted to find the optimal acclimatization conditions for Eleutherococcus senticosus plantlets regenerated from bioreactor cultured somatic embryos, various acclimatizing conditions were compared regarding both survival rate and growth of the plantlets. Among the various temperature and artificial soil tested, the highest survival rate (88%) was observed when plantlets were acclimatized in Klasmann bed soil at $10^{\circ}C$ When in vitro plantlets directly transplanted to field environment, shading treatment was necessary and 50% shading was more effective than 30% shading. Transplanting season were also important for successful acclimatization of in vitro cultured plantlets, transplanted on March 20 with 50% shading exhibited the best survival rate and further growth.

These Experiments were carried out to test the possibility of produciilg taro earlyplanting culture growing them in polyethylene vinyl house and/or polyethylene tunnneland/or polyetllylene mulching without any supplenmentary heat. Out of various combin-ation of the method of using polyethylene film, Plenty more of taro in polyetllylenehouse+tunnel+mulching on the 5th of March showed the clear possibility that tarocould be harvested on middle of july, which was harvested 3 months earlier thanwhen growing in the open culture . Therefore, it is concluded that taro could be grownas an early crop by using polyetlene film.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum conditions for induction and different somatic of somatic embryos as well as germination of encapsulated and stored somatic embryos. Somatic embryos was better formed in 1/2X MS medium than full - strength MS medium. 0.1 to 1.0mg/lBA and kinetin promoted shoot differentiation of somatic embryos. Higher concentration tend to inhibit differentiation. IAA affect positively both root and shoot growth. In vitro germination of somatic embryos encapsulated with 2% alginate matrix containing 1/2 MS nutrient medium and $AgNO_3$ 5mg/l was 86%. Storage of somatic embryos was effecive at $5^{\circ}C$ but the germination rate decreased with longer storage period. RAPD analyses with plants regenerated from the somatic embryos showed DNA polymorphism, indicating abolition of primer binding site by point mutation, deletion, or insertion of certain sequences.

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).

A protocol for plant regeneration from hairy root of Rehmannia glutinosa transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogenes ATCC15834 has been developed. Transgenic shoots were regenerated from hairy roots within 6 weeks after culture on the SH medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l BA. Shoots were rooted on plant growth regulator free SH medium successfully. The transformed plants, which were regenerated from hairy roots, had thiner roots with extensive lateral branches, wrinkled leaves, shorter node, and grew faster compared with non-transformed plants. The biomass of the transformed plant was 1.28 g (F.W) per plant, significantly higher than the non-transformed plant (0.54 g F.W). The catalpol content in the transformed plant (0.56%) was also higher than that of the non-transformed plants (0.43%).

Background: In the present study, we identified two cytotoxic compounds from the root of Rumex crispus L. using a bioassay-based method. Methods and Results: Compared with the other fractions, the diethyl ether ($Et_2O$) fraction of R. crispus root extract exhibited the strongest of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging effect [scavenging concentration 50% $(SC_{50})=63.8{\pm}1.47{\mu}g/m{\ell}$], nitric oxide (NO) production inhibitory effect on the mouse macrophage cell line RAW264.7 [inhibitory concentration 50% $(IC_{50})=60.9{\pm}7.52{\mu}g/m{\ell}$] and cytotoxicity effect on the human hepatoma cell line, HepG2 [lethal concentration 50% $(LC_{50})=115.4{\pm}1.86{\mu}g/m{\ell}$]. According to the bioassay-based method, two cytotoxic compounds were purified from the $Et_2O$ fraction by using column chromatography and preparative high performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC). These two compounds were identified as parietin and chrysophanol by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and liquid chromatography quadruple time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS). In addition, both parietin and chrysophanol exhibited a cytotoxicity effect on HepG2 cells, their $LC_{50}$ values were $169.1{\pm}17.67{\mu}M$ and $111.5{\pm}6.62{\mu}M$, respectively. Conclusions: Parietin and chrysophanol isolated from the $Et_2O$ fraction of the R. crispus root extract showed cytotoxicity in HepG2 cell.

To investigate whether there are estrogenic and anti-estrogenic activities in various medicinal herbs and discover prominent chemo-preventive agents, we screened and compared the ethanol extracts of 9 plants through the recombinant yeast assay and MCF-7 human breast cancer cell assay, In recombinant yeast assay, seven medicinal herbs showed estrogenicity, and four extracts showed androgenecity. In MCF-7 proliferation assay, the growth of MCF-7 cells was inhibited by eight extracts before and even after co-treatment with bisphenol A. It is interesting that the extracts of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Cassia tora, Syringa velutina, Zingiber officinale, Malva verticillata, and Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer exhibited inhibitory effects as phytoestrogens in estrogen-responsive human breast cancer cells. This study suggests that some Korean medicinal herbs might be considered as phytoestrogens and be useful to further analyze those plants which contain the estrogenic effect in order to identify the active principles.
