The young leaf of Perilla species was cultured by two stage culture system using the medium containing mevalonic acid lactone. The growth rate and productivity of essential oil of callus were increased. The essential oil from intact plant and callus was also analysed. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and one sesquiterpene alcohol were identified in essential oils of callus.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Germaniwn(Ge) treatment in the culture media on the Ge absorption by the callus induced from brown rice cv. Dongjinbyeo. MS medium was more effective on the growth ratio of callus and the content of Ge and some inorganic elements except K in callus than N$_{6}$ medium. The more Ge treatment in the N$_{6}$ or MS medium, the more Ge absorption by the callus, but the growth ratio of callus and the content of Ca, Mg, and K in callus were decreased. The content of Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu was increased under treatment up to 100～200mg /$\ell$ Ge, but tended to be decreased under treatment more than that of Ge concentration. Under treatment less than 150mg /$\ell$ Ge, GeO$_2$(inorganic Ge) was more effective on the Ge absorption by callus than Ge-132(organic Ge), but Ge-132 was more effective on the Ge ab-sorption by callus and the activity of callus in case of treatment more than 150mg /$\ell$ Ge. The lower pH of culture medium, the higher Ge content in the callus. When callus was cultured on medium supplemented with Ge and 0.1～1.0mM of citric acid or myo-inositol, content of Ge and some inorganic elements in callus, as well as growth and dry weight of callus, were tend to increase in comparison to control, but myo-inositol was more effective on them than citric acid.cid.

Callus and cell suspension cultures of Eurycoma longifolia Jack could be an alternative supply of 9-hydroxycanthin-6-one and 9-methoxycanthin-6-one. The callus tissues were initiated from leaves of different trees. The friable calli were used for the preparation of the cell suspension cultures of E. longifolia. The leaf explant of tree Eu-9 produced the most callus and also induced high cell biomass in the cell suspension culture, but it produced low quantity of 9-methoxycanthin- 6-one and 9-hydroxycanthin-6-one. The leaf explant from tree Eu-8 produced low quantity of callus and cell biomass, but produced the highest quantity of 9-methoxycanthin- 6-one and 9-hydroxycanthin-6-one. Optimum production of cell biomass was obtained on cell culture medium with pH 5.75 prior to autoclaving, but high alkaloids content could be induced in culture medium in acidic condition with pH 4.75 and 5.25 prior to autoclaving.

The rate of growth and production of bioactive substances from Rehmannia glutinosa Liboschitz (Scrophulariaceae) were studied with the variation on the constituents of the culture media. The best growth was observed from MS basal medium containing 3.0 ppm NAA and 2.0 ppm kinetin. Carbohydrates (fructose, glucose and sucrose), phytosterols(${\beta}-sitosterol$, campesterol and stigmasterol) and carotenoid like substances were identified by GC-MS and TLC from the callus mass. However, catalpol was not detected from both solid and cell suspension cultures containing geraniol. Callus cultured Rehmannia glutinosa in the MS basal medium containing 0.1 ppm NAA and 0.1 ppm kinetin become differentiated to root.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of plant growth regulators on cell culture and organogenesis from Sicyos angulatus L. using explants of leaves, stems and cotyledons. Optimal callus induction for S. angulatus was obtained on MS medium with 0.1mg/$\ell$ BA and 2.0mg/$\ell$ 2,4 -D from cotyledons, 0.1mg/$\ell$ BA and 5.0mg/$\ell$ NAA from leaves explants, Optimal media for subculture and growth of S. angulatus callus were 1/2 MS medium with 0.1mg/$\ell$ BA and 1.0mg/$\ell$ 2,4 -D for solid culture, and 0.1mg/$\ell$ 2,4-D for suspension culture. Many adventitious roots with some shoots were formed were formed from leaf and cotyledon explants of S. angulatus during callus induction with optimal combinations of plants growth regulators.

This study was conducted to establish a regeneration system of plantlets through callus culture induced from bulb scales of Lillium‘Gelria’. Friable callus was induced very easily from bulb scales, and grew vigorously on medium lacking growth regulators. In media with 0.5∼ 1.0 mg/L kinetin and 0.1 ∼ 1.0 mg/L NAA, 100% of explants produced callus. Proliferation of callus was actively occurred on media containing 0.1 ∼ 1.0 mg/L kinetin and 0.1 ∼ 1.0 mg/L NAA. Callus proliferation and regeneration of bulblets from callus were occurred simultaneously. Light condition was more effective for the callus proliferation and solid medium was better than liquid medium. Althrough callus was proliferated vigorously on media containing 0.1 ∼ 1.0 mg/L BA and NAA, the frequncy of plantlet regeneration was better on medium without growth regulators, then on medium with 0.1 mg/L BA and NAA.

This is study was conducted to find out the effect of various plant hormones on the growth of garlic callus and to determine the effects of sulfur and nitrogen on the formation of alliin. The following results were obtained. The callus was grown effectively on the basal Linsmainer and skoog medium supplemented with 10-6M of kinetin and 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. When alliin produced by callus were extracted and identified by PPC allin appeared to have Rf value 0.21 in PPC which was exactly same as standard and it gave a deep red colar by Grot's reagent. The highest amount of alliin which is produced in callus culture was 270mg per 100g of dry weight in the basal Linsmaier and Skoog medium supplemented with 100% of NO3 as a nitrogen source.

Callus-inducing ability of Alnus hirsuta was examined by culturing various tissues (leaf, hypocotyl, cotyledon and seed) on NT (Nagata & Takebe) medium, supplemented with 2.5$\mu$M 2,4-D. Leaf-originated callus was cultured on media varying in auxin (IBA and NAA) and cytokinin (BAP) concentrations to examine the effects of auxin and cytokinin on callus growth. Maximum growth was obtained at 10 $\mu$M IBA+10$\mu$M BAP and 10$\mu$M NAA without cytokinin. Cell suspensions established from cotyledon-originated callus yielded viable protoplasts after incubation for 16-18 hours in an enzyme mixture (1% (w/v) Onozuka R-10 0.5% (w/v) Macerozyme, CPW salts and 13% (w/v) mannitol, pH 5.8). Protoplasts were cultured on NT medium, supplemented with glucose, hormones and coconut milk. After 6 weeks of culture, protoplasts sustained cell divisions to form microcallus, which showed various colors from red to white.

Callus was derived from the leaves of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. The productions of baicalin in the cultivated callus under various conditions, especially, the effects of the light sources and temperature were studied. In this experiment, the callus cultivated at $25^{\circ}C$ showed higer production of baicalin than the callus cultivated at $21^{\circ}C$ and $23^{\circ}C$. The illumination of light(fluorescence and UV) accelerated generally the growth of callus and the production of baicalin during the cultivation for three weeks. But, the illumination of light more than three weeks reduced the rate of production of baicalin in the callus.

The callus was induced from the seedlings of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Brig. (Labiatae) and the effects of culturing conditions on growth rate and essential oil formation of the callus were experimented. It was found in the experiments, that the proper culturing temperature is $23^{\circ}C$ and the addition of biosynthetic precursors(leucine, mevalonic acid lactone) inhibits the growth of the callus. The growth rate of the callus and the amount of essential oils of the callus in the medium containing NAA were higher than the medium containing 2,4-D. The essential oils from the callus and the leaves of the cultivated Schizonepeta tenuifolia showed different GC pattern, but pulegone was found in both oils.
