To select the section with shoot formation ability, the calli and shoot formation from three sections (first leaf including cotyledonary node, hypocotyl and cotyledon explants) of 5-days-seedlings of soybean were induced on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BAP, 3% sucrose, and 0.3% gelrite for one month. The first leaf section exhibited the highest shoot formation rate (51%), followed the hypocotyl section (10%) and the cotyledon section (0%). The shoot formation rates and shoot number of the four excised sections (whole first leaf, a half of the first leaf, a third of the first leaf and only node) of the first leaf were also investigated on the same medium. A half of the first leaf explant and the third of the first leaf explant had higher shoot formation rates (76-80%) and numbers (3-4 / explants) than those in other two explants. Effects of six cytokinins (kinetin, zeatin, BAP, 2iP, PBA, and TDZ) on shoot formation were determined, using the half of the first leaf explants. Zeatin (1.0 mg/L) exhibited the highest in shoot formation rate (94%) and numbers (8 / explant). In addition, the combined effects of three cytokinins (zeatin, BAP, and TDZ; 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg/L, respectively) and an auxin (IAA; 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg/L) were determined. The combination (1:1, v/v) of zeatin (1.0 mg/L) and IAA (1.0 mg/L) exhibited the highest in shoot formation rate (96%) and numbers (16 / explant), twice more than zeatin (1.0 mg/L) alone. The shoot cuttings were transferred and cultivated on the rooting media supplemented with only auxin, IBA at various concentrations. The highest root formation (8 / shoot) was achieved on the medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/L. After 4 weeks of cultivation, the plantlets with an extensive root system were transplanted in pots with a soil mixture of vermiculite and fine sand. Transferred to field, about 75% of the plantlets survived.

Microorganisms that live in the rhizosphere play a pivotal role in the functioning and maintenance of soil ecosystems. The study of rhizospheric cyanobacteria has been hampered by the difficulty to culture and maintain them in the laboratory. The present work investigated the production of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the potential of biofilm formation on the rhizoplane of pea plants by two cyanobacterial strains, isolated from rice rhizosphere. The unicellular cyanobacteria Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 that were isolated from a rice rhizosphere, were investigated. Production of IAA by Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 was measured under experimental conditions (pH and light). The bioactivity of the cyanobacterial auxin was demonstrated through the alteration of the rooting pattern of Pisum sativum seedlings. The increase in the concentration of L-tryptophan and the time that this amino acid was present in the medium resulted in a significant enhancement of the synthesis of IAA (r > 0.900 at p = 0.01). There was also a significant correlation between the concentration of IAA in the supernatant of the cyanobacteria cultures and the root length and number of the pea seedlings. Observations made by confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed the presence of cyanobacteria on the surface of the roots and also provided evidence for the penetration of the cyanobacteria in the endorhizosphere. We show that the synthesis of IAA by Chroococcidiopsis sp. MMG-5 and Synechocystis sp. MMG-8 occurs under different environmental conditions and that the auxin is important for the development of the seedling roots and for establishing an intimate symbiosis between cyanobacteria and host plants.

This work was carried out to elucidate effects of endogenous and exogenous IAA transport on adventitious root formation in Phaseolus vulgaris hypocotyl cuttings. For inverted or normal incubation in distilled water, the adventitious root is always formed at the morphological base but not at the morphological apex. For inverted incubation, in both distilled water and certain chemical solution, the root formation is retarded more at the first stage (0-24 hr) than at the second stage (24-48 hr). When p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid (PCIB) was applied to the cuttings at the first stage, theroot formation was inhibited more than at the second stage. Treatment of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic aicd (TIBA)markedly inhibited the adventitious root formation in Phaseolus vulgaris hypocotyl cuttings. This inhibition influenced the root according to the applied stage and period. Therefore, the root formation is more related to the stage of root primordium formation than to the stage of root elongation from the primordium. Inhibition of auxin transport oraction by TIBA or PCIB could also be reversed when hypocotyl cuttings are incubated in exogenously applied IAA solution.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of plant growth regulators on the organogenesis from the tissue culture of Arabidopsis thaliana stem, and the origin of the callus development. When the stem segments were cultured on medium with 2mg/L IAA or NAA, adventitious roots and trichomes were differentiated after 11 days of culture. Callus vigorously formed on medium with 2/L2,4 after 7 days of culture, but adventitious roots and trichomes were not differentiated from callus after 10 days of culture. This results suggesting that picloram is very effective auxin for the callus formation and organogenesis. Callus weakly formed on 0.05mg/L kinetin, and formed on combination of auxins(2mg/L) with 0.05mg/L kinetin. But the effect of combination of auxins and kinetin the callus formation was less than 2,4-D or picloram alone. A histological examination of callus formed on picloram showed that phloram showed that phloem parenchyma cells were divided and enlarged after 2 days of culture. Cortex parenchyma cells were divided and meristematic nodules were developed from these cells after 4 days of culture. Finally, callus formed on outside of cortex and epidermis by division of meristematic nodules after 7 days of culture.

옥수수(Zea mays) 원뿌리에서 에틸렌 전구체인 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) 그리고 methyl jasmonate (MeJA)가 통기조직의 발달에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 식물호르몬 처리는 원뿌리의 종단 구성에 영향을 미치므로 control과 호르몬 처리된 뿌리의 비교 가능한 위치를 정할 필요가 있었다. 이를 위하여 원뿌리의 정단을 PR0, 기부를 PR100이라 정의하고 이 두 지점 사이를 길이에 비례하여 PR25, PR50, PR75로 구분하였다. 대조군 뿌리의 PR25와 PR50 부분에서는 통기조직이 관찰되지 않았으며 PR75 부분에서는 드물게 통기조직이 나타나기도 하였다. PR75 부위의 통기조직 면적은 ACC 또는 IAA가 존재할 때 증가하였다. 반면, MeJA는 옥수수 원뿌리가 침수되지 않았을 때와 침수되었을 때 서로 다른 차등 효과를 나타내었다. 뿌리가 침수되지 않았을 때 MeJA는 통기조직의 발달을 억제하였다. 반면, 뿌리를 침수 시키면 통기조직의 면적이 증가하는데 그 면적은 MeJA에 의하여 더욱 증가되었다. 한편, 곁뿌리 원기는 그 주변 피층세포의 통기조직 발달에 수반되는 세포사멸을 억제하는 것으로 알려져 있었다. 곁뿌리 원기에 의해 억제되는 통기조직의 발달은 위에 기술한 바와 같이 통기조직의 발달을 촉진하는 세 가지 호르몬들에 의해서도 회복되지 않았다. 이는 발달하는 곁뿌리 원기가 억제하는 통기조직 발달 조절의 세부 단계는 식물호르몬들이 작용한 이후 단계일 가능성을 보여주는 것이다.

Rauvolfia serpentina (L.) Benth. ex Kurz is a medicinal plant and an endangered tropical rainforest plant species. Since the field cultivation that aims to fulfill the industrial needs is never accomplished, tissue culture appears to be the most feasible way to improve the quality and quantity of R. serpentina. This experiment used two kinds of explants (roots and shoots) to induce optimal root formation in different combinations of auxin and photoperiod. Each explants exhibited different responses on given treatments. Differentiated root could be produced from explants cultured in IBA 20 mg/L with and without light. The highest number of roots, root length and root weight induced from shoot explants were effective on MS medium containing IBA 20 mg/L and incubated under dark condition, while highest total weight (callus and root) from root explants cultured on MS medium supplemented 10 mg/L IBA and 10 mg/L NAA and incubated under day length (11/13 hr). The root induced from shoot explants produced the highest major alkaloid content. The highest content of ajmaline (2.17 ppm fresh weight) and reserpine (1.30 ppm fresh weight) were observed in shoot explants cultured in MS medium containing combination of IBA 10 mg/L and NAA 10 mg/L and incubated under dark condition, yohimbine (1.47 ppm fresh weight) was in the shoot explants cultured in MS medium containing NAA 20 mg/L and incubated under day length, while serpentine was absent.

Tension wood, a specialized tissue developed in the upper side of the leaning stem and drooping branches of angiosperm, is an attractive experimental system attractive for exploring the development and the biochemical pathways of the secondary cell wall formation, as well as the control mechanism of the carbon flux into lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. However, the mechanism underlying the induction and the development of the tension wood is largely unknown. Recently, several researchers suggested the possible roles of the plant growth hormones including auxin, gibberellin, and ethylene mainly based on the expression pattern of the genes in this specialized tissue. In addition, expressed sequence tag of Poplar and Eucalyptus provide global view of the genetic control underlying the tension wood formation. However, the roles of the majority of the identified genes have not yet been clearly elucidated. The present review summarized current knowledge on the biosynthesis of tension wood to provide a brief synopsis of the molecular mechanism underlying the development of the tension wood.
