Plant regeneration from the stem tissue of Orostachys japonicus A. Beiger was investigated. The calli derived from shoot apex when apex when cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)and 2 mg/L benzyl aminopurine (BAP). The calli were developed into shoot to MS medium with 0.5mg/L NAA and 2mg/L and into root with 1mg/L kinetin. The reddish pigment which might be essential for the rootregeneration was observed in the tip of regenerated root.

In order to establish efficient plant regeneration from embryogenic suspension cultures of soybean, Glycine max L, we examined the effects of auxin type and concentration, cytokinin type and concentration, and amino acid type and concentration on the growth of embryogenic clumps from induced callus, and the effect of desiccation of mature somatic embryos obtained from these clumps on the frequency of somatic embryo germination. Embryogenic callus was induced from the edge of the cotyledons cultured on MS medium containing 6% sucrose, 40 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.2% gelrite and pH 5.7. The growth of embryogenic clumps was best in early staged, embryogenic callus that was placed in suspension culture of MS medium containing 5 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/L asparagine. Single somatic embryos were isolated from the clumps and plated on the same medium for maturation. When the mature single somatic embryos were desiccated for 96 h, somatic embryo germination came up to approximately 90%. The plantlets germinated after embryos desiccation for 2 weeks were transfered to MS medium containing 3% sucrose,0.2% gelrite and pH 5.7.

This study was conducted to develop an Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation protocol for the carnation cv. "Jinju" to counteract its ethylene sensitivity. The new protocol involves the use of an improved shoot regeneration medium, optimized minimal concentrations of the selective agent, a pre-culture period, and co-cultivation periods. Silver nanoparticles (NAg) added at a concentration of 2.0 μM to the Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal shoot regeneration medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L indole-3-butyric-acid (IBA) and 0.2 mg/L thidiazuron (TDZ) improved the shoot regeneration efficiency, number of shoots per explant, and plant growth compared to the control without the addition of NAg. The phosphinothricin (PPT) concentration of 1.0 mg/L was determined to be the minimal and optimal concentration for the selection of putative transgenic plants. When the explants were infected with Agrobacterium cells harboring the acdS gene, the explants that were pre-cultured for three days induced more putative transgenic plants than those that were co-cultivated for four days. Therefore, we expect that the results of this study will benefit researchers who are developing genetic transformations of carnations.

A study on the in situ regeneration effect of commercial deactivated SCR catalyst which had been exposed to the off gas from the heavy oil fired power plant for a long time was carried out in a simulated in situ conditions by washing with distilled water and various acid solutions in a short time. The catalytic performance test of the regenerated SCR catalysts was carried out in the micro reactor with simulated off gas of the heavy oil fired power plant and all prepared catalysts were characterized by BET, Porosimeter, EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometer) and ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) to investigate correlations between catalytic activity and surface characteristics of them. The characterization results of the regenerated catalysts showed that the specific surface area was restored 95% more than that of fresh catalyst. Under this study, the activity of the regenerated catalysts with acid solution (3~6 M) without using ultrasonic wave in a simulated in situ conditions was restored 90% more than that of the fresh catalyst. It was found that improved activity of regenerated catalyst was caused by removing the deactivating materials from the surface of the deactivated SCR catalyst through acid washing.

In the present study, the effects of plant growth regulators on adventitious shoot and root formation of various explants of $in$ $vitro$ seedlings of $Solanum$ $nigrum$ L. were investigated to determine the optimum conditions for the high-efficiency plant regeneration of this species. The formation of adventitious shoots was higher in leaf explants than in cotyledon, hypocotyl, or epicotyl explants at low concentrations (0.5~2.0 mg $L^{-1}$ ) of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The number of adventitious shoots and the shoot length were also higher in both leaf and cotyledon explants. In particular, 2.0 mg $L^{-1}$ BAP was most effective for stimulating the induction and multiplication of adventitious shoots. In terms of root formation and root development from shoots that were separated from multiple shoots, indole butyric acid (IBA) and indole acetic acid (IAA) were more effective than ${\alpha}$-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The percentage of rooting as well as the number of roots per shoot (4.0), root length (7.82 cm), and shoot length (8.76 cm) was highest on MS media supplemented with 0.05 mg $L^{-1}$ IAA. Furthermore, 100% of the regenerated plantlets survived when transplanted to compost soil. These results suggest that leaf explants are the best source for the high-efficiency regeneration of $S.$ $nigrum$ L., and that 2.0 mg $L^{-1}$ BAP and 0.05 mg $L^{-1}$ IAA are the best conditions for shoot and root induction, respectively.

In previous studies, we have shown that lysosomal add phosphatase (LAP) activity increases at the dedifferentiation stage in the regenerating larval limbs of salamander, Hynobius leechii. Monoclonal antibodies against LAP were generated to determIne the spatial and temporal distribution of the protein In the regenerates.A total of 22 monoclonal antihodies recognizIng different epftopes of the protein were obtained, of which five strongly stained the regenerating limb by imunohistochemistry. in LAP immunohistochemical examination, LAP showed distribution coincident with the state of dedifferentiation, both spatially and temporally, in the limb regenerates. When unfractioned protein of regenerating salamander limbs were separated by gel electrophoresis and immunoblotted, the antibodies recognized a single protein band of 53 kl)a, which comigrates with a monomerlc subunit of IAR Using the anti-IAP antibodIes as probe, we investigated the cross-reactivities of LAPs from other sources. The immunoreadive bands on Western blots appeared to be the same In molecular mass-53 kl)a in axoloti and Xenopus, but no protein band was detected in mouse, Drosophila, or C. elegans.These results show that the antibodies generated in this study spedfically recognize Hynoblus leeclili IAp and that IAPs may be highiy conserved among amphibians. Furthermore, the distdbution of the protein is consistent with a role for LAP in the dedifferentiation process of limb regeneration.

Leaf explants of the cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations of $\alpha$-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Direct shoot orgnogenesis as well as callus formation with somatic embryos and multiple shoots was observed from leaf explants of cvs. Shinhukjinju and Chungjang. The highest frequency of shoot formation 80% was observed on MS medium supplemented with NAA/BAP (5.0 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/2.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), with explants forming 3-7 shoots. Shoots formation occured within 3 to 4 weeks. Only one subculture of calli was required for plant regeneration on normal growth regulator-free medium. Plantlets transferred to soil developed into plants of normal appearance, which flowered and set fruits.

An efficient method of shoot regeneration of peanut is described. In vitro shoot organogenesis from the callus of cotyledon explants of Arachis hypogaea L. was stimulated by addition of Adenine sulphate (Ads) along with 6 - benzylaminopurine (BAP) and - napthalene acetic acid (NAA). Ads (13 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) had a stimulatory effect on shoot bud differentiation when combined with BAP (13 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and NAA (2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). Shoot organogenesis was markedly higher (92%) from callus induced on Ads, BAP and NAA combined media than from those formed by the individual supplementation of Ads or BAP with NAA. The shoots elongated on the media with GA$_3$ (1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). Elongated plantlets rooted with MS media containing IBA (9 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$).

Callus formation and plant regeneration from the seeds of zoysiagrass cv. Zenith was tested on MS basal medium supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D) and of several cytokinins. A concentration of 1mg/L 2,4-D on medium stimulated callus formation. In the presence of 5mg/L 2,4-D, addition of 1mg/L kinetin significantly enhanced callus formation and plant regeneration over 2,4-D alone. To transfer foreign DNA into turfgrass, parameters for the bombardment of embryogenic callus with the particle bombardment were partially optimized using transient expression assay of a $chimeric \beta$-glucuronidase(GUS) gene driven by the CaMV 35S promoter. GUS gene was strongly expressed at helium pressure 1,100 psi and 6~9cm target distance.

We developed a novel method to fabricate a nerve guide conduit (NGC) with the porosity of submicron pore sizes (to prevent fibrous tissue infiltration) and hydrophilicity (for effective oxygen and nutrient permeation) using poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and Pluronic F127 by a modified immersion precipitation method designed by our laboratory. It was recognized that the hydrophilized PLGA/F127 (3 wt%) tube can be a good candidate as a NGC from the analyses of its morphology, mechanical strength, hydrophilicity, model nutrient permeability and in vivo nerve regeneration behavior using a rat model.
