Somatic embryo induction, plant regeneration, and field establishment were investigated from tissue cultured winter buds of a 10-year-old tree Aralia elata. Embryogenic calli were obtained from cultures of winter buds on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D. A number of somatic embryos were regenerated from the calli on an embryo induction medium supplemented with 2,4-D and BA. Although abnormal somatic embryos were frequently observed, most of the embryos formed were morphologically normal. All somatic embryos at the later stage of maturity germinated successfully, but only 14% of them could be developed into plantlets on MS basal medium. The plants regenerated from the somatic embryos survived well in the field (survival rates : more than 95%) and have grown normally for three years after transplanting.

The control and reduction of the magnetization of naval vessel is important technologies for safety against torpedo and sea mine installed magnetic sensors. In general, we used to conduct as a magnetic treatment for permanent magnetization reduction and to compensate induced magnetization using on-board-degaussing system for the naval vessel's magnetic stealth. Navies have operated magnetic treatment facility in order to protect from sea mines. LIGNex1 Corp. has developed the magnetic treatment facility for the korea navy.

Embryogenic calli were induced from petioles of Aralia elata on MS solid medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D. When embryogenic calli were transferred to MS liquid medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D, embryogenic cells and embryogenic cell clusters were developed after 2 weeks of culture. Embryogenic cells were filtered through a 250 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ sieve and the passed cells were proliferated and maintained in MS liquid medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D. Embryogenic cell clusters entrapped on the sieve were transferred to 1/2 MS liquid medium without plant growth regulators, globular-shaped embryos were developed from embryogenic cell clusters after 2 weeks of culture. Numerous early stage somatic embryos could be developed to heart-shaped, torpedo-shaped, cotyledonary embryos and plantlets in 5 L bioreactor. Above results suggest that effective somatic embryo proliferation can be achieved via bioreactor culture systems in Aralia elata.

This study was conducted to establish the optimal condition for acclimatization from somatic embryos of Eleutherococcus seoulensis. Torpedo-shaped embryos of Eleutherococcus seoulensis were cultured on 1/3 MS and WPM media supplemented with $GA_3$ (3.0, 5.0 mg/L) for 4 weeks. Plentlets were transferred to 1/2 SH solid medium with 1.0 mg/L $GA_3$ and 0.2% activated charcoal for shoot and root elongation and them elongated plantlets further developed on 1/2 SH medium for 4 weeks. Developed plantlets further elongated into well-shaped leaf and root system on 1/3 SH medium under ventilation condition for 4 weeks. Plantlets grew normally on 1/3 SH basal medium, were acclimated on various soil. Survival frequency of plantlets was influenced by soil type(peatmoss+perlite, perlite, soil on Nam mountain). The highest survival rate to soil was more than 70% when plantlets were 1/3 SH medium under ventilation condition in Nam mountain soil. These results indicate that the systematic procedure of plant production in Eleutherococcus seoulensis could be practically applicable for mass propagation.

In order to elucidate the effect of abscisic acid (ABA) on the abnormality of somatic embryos, somatic embryos were induced from embryogenic cell clumps derived from cotyledon segment of Aralia cordata. When embryogenic cell clumps were pretreated medium containing 0.2 mg/L ABA for 3 weeks before transferring to MS basal medium, the frequency of embryos with normal cotyledons enhanced 68% as compared with control. However when clumps pretreated in medium containing 0.2 mg/L ABA were transferred to medium containing 0.1 mg/L ABA, the Sequency decreased to about 29%. In the case of globular embryos cultures in medium containing various concentrations of ABA (0.01 to 1.0mg/L), the frequency of dicotyledonary embryo formation decreased propotionally to ABA concentration. Also, when somatic embryos at various stages were cultured in medium containing ABA, those with polycotyledons appeared at higher frequency.

This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of obtaining platelets via somatic embryogenesis as a means of in vivo mass propagation in Paeonia lactiflora Pall.. When cultured on MS medium with 0.5 mg/L 2, 4-D, filament explants formed calli. UPon transfer to basal medium the calli gave rise to somatic embryos at a frequency of 38%. Additional of 3g/L activated charcoal enhanced the frequency to 60%. Mature embryos preheated at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks had 37% germination on medium with 0.3 mg/L GA$_3$. The germinated embryos developed to complete plantlet when cultured on medium with 2mg/L BA.

In order to investigate the effects of developmental stage of embryos and plant growth regulators on mass production of Zantedeschia spp. Southern Light, immature zygotic embryos of Zantedeschia spp. Southern Light were cultured on Murashige and Skoog(1962) basal media or containing 2,4-D, NAA and BA. Globular embryos did not grow on any of the 2,4-D, NAA and BA combinations. The most suitable stage of immature zygotic embryo culture on the induction callus and multiple shoot was at early cotyledonary embryo stage, and at this stage of embryos were germinated up to 87.5%. The whitish watery callus and yellowish compact nodular callus produced on all 2,4-D, NAA and BA media. The best combination for inducing embryogenic callus was 0.5 mgL NAA and 1.0 mg/L BA. Whitish watery calli have been subcultured for more than 8 months and have retained their producing ability, Plant regeneration was only obtained by direct shoot development and yellowish compact nodular calli. Abundant plantlets were regenerated from cotyledonary stage of embryo culture on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L NAA and 1.0 mg/L BA. Supplementation of the media with 10％ coconut water showed as the best concentration for plant differentiation from direct developed of shoots. The number of regenerated plants from one embryo could be seperated 25-35s plantlets. All yellowish compact callus-derived plantlets were transferred to pots containing a mixture of vermiculite, perlite and sand(1:1;1 v/v) and 100% of divided plantlets were phenotypically normal.

Using calli of $Muscari$ $armeniacum$ cv. 'Early Giant' that is monocotyledonous ornamental bulb crop with increasing demand in Korea, we carried out current studies to establish an in vitro multiple propagation protocol via somatic embryogenesis. We found that soft pale yellow green calli were induced from leaf explants cultured on all media containing 0.1~3.0 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ auxins such as 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). However, induced calli showed vigorous growth only when they further transferred on same media containing 2,4-D, 4-amino-3,5,6-tri-chloropicolinic acid (picloram), or 3,6-dichloro-o-anisic acid (dicamba). Although frequency of somatic embryo induction depended on callus source and PGR composition in somatic embryo induction media, somatic embryogenesis was initiated on surface of proliferated calli after transferring on media with no PGR or 0.01 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA co-supplemented with various cytokinins such as $N^6$-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Highest number of embryo at 9.3 per callus clump was obtained when calli which were grown under 0.1 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ picloram supplementation were sub-cultured on medium with 0.01 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA and 0.5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BAP. In addition, morphological characteristics of somatic embryo were categorized into following nine phases: globular, biased heart, biased torpedo, early cotyledonary, middle cotyledonary, late cotyledonary, early sprouting, middle sprouting, and late sprouting embryos.
