Mature embryos were aseptically excised with a scalpel and sliced in fragments measuring 0.5 mm in diameter (sliced mature embryo fragment; 4 ${\~}$ 5 fragments/one embryo). Sliced mature embryo fragments of six wheat cultivars were cultured to develop an efficient method of callus induction and plant regeneration. Callus derived from sliced mature embryo fragments showed a good capacity to embryogenesis and regeneration. Furthermore sliced mature embryo fragments decreased contamination from fungi and bacteria. The high efficiency of callus induction were obtained Keumkangmil and Bob­white. For plant regeneration, selected embryogenic calli were transferred to two types regeneration media. An average number of green spots per callus was 4 to 5 in regeneration media after about one week. Percentage of plant regeneration showed high in regeneration medium containing 0.1 mg/l 2,4-D and 5 mg/l zeatin. Especially, Keumkangmil ($27.5\%$) and Bobwhite ($33.3\%$) showed high regeneration efficiency. This regeneration system from sliced mature embryo fragments may provide an effective and convenient explant for plant transformation studies.

The shoot tip and young leaf of Rhodiola sachalinensis were cultured to invest the plant growth regulator condition for callus induction, shoot and root regeneration. When the shoot tip was sterilized in 2.0% of NaOCl for 20min., the contamination rate was the lowest. And the survival rate of the culture material was good in carbenicillin 500mg/L treatment group. Callus was obtained from shoot tip and young leaf segments. NAA 0.1-1.0mg/L and 2,4-D 0.1-0.5mg/L alone treatment were shown to have a good response on callus induction from shoot tip culture. In the case of young leaf culture, NAA and 2,4-D 0.1-0.5mg/L alone treatment were good in callus induction. In culturing shoot tip NAA 0.5mg/L and BA 0.5mg/L, NAA1.0mg/L and BA 0.lmg/L combination treatment was good in shoot regeneration. The regenerated shoots were rooted on MS medium supplemented with NAA and BA combination treatment. Especially, NAA 1.0mg/L and BA 0.1mg/L combination treatment was effective for root regeneration.

Callus induction and embryogenesis were studied in three different genotypes of Acanthopanax senticosus, to develop a protocol for somatic embryogenesis and acclimatization. Young leaf, stem, node, petiole, peduncle, flower and root explants were collected from 3-year old trees of A. senticosus accessions (Korea, Russia and Japan). Callus was obtained from all cultured explants but showed the higher rate of callus formation in flower cultured. For the three A. senticosus accessions, callus was well formd on MS media containing 2mg/ l of 2,4-D and 2mg/ l of TDZ, 4mg/ l of 2,4-D and 1mg/ l of TDZ than other treatments. For three A. senticosus accessions, when callus transferred to MS medium with 2,4-D, embryogenic cell formed. For A. senticosus accessions Korea, embryogenic cells were obtained on callus induced from petiole, stem, node and root explants, and induction rate was lower than 3%. 200mg of embryogenic callus was transferred to MS free liquid medium and somatic embryos of heart stage were obtained after 45days of culture. When somatic embryo of germination stage were transferred to solid medium, most of the embryos were regenerated into plantlets on 1/4 MS medium. Normal plants with both shoots and roots were transferred to greenhouse soil and were successfully acclimatized.

We obtained regenerated Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) plants by anther culture. When Italian ryegrass anther was incubated for 20 days on callus induction medium, MS medium containing 30 g/$\ell$ of sucrose, 2 mg/$\ell$ of NAA and 1 mg/$\ell$ of kinetin, its callus was induced. The ratio of callus induction was 9.2 %, the mean of callus weight was 8.6 mg/callus/anther. When Italian ryegrass callus was incubated for 50 days on plant regeneration medium, MS medium containing 30 g/$\ell$ of sucrose, 1 mg/$\ell$of NAA and 2 mg/$\ell$of kinetin, Italian ryegrass plant was regenerated. The ratio of plant regeneration was 26%.

These studies were designed to define the effects of Benzyladenine and 2, 4-D on the induction and growth of callus tissue from embryos and plant segments of Korean ginseng. 0.5PPM was the minimum concentration of 2, 4-D for the induction of callus tissue from embryos and plant segments of ginseng. Best callus induction occurred at a 2, 4-D concentration of 5 mg/liter but growth of this callus was best at a 2, 4-D concentration of about 1.0 to 2.0 mg/liter and benzyladenine was ineffective as callus inducer. When the embryos were grown on the media containing 0.5 mg/liter of 2, 4-D, 5 to 6 axillary buds were formed at the basal part of epicotyle.

The development of a protocol for high efficiency of embryogenic callus separation, maintenance and plant regeneration from the seeds of zoysiagrass cv. Zenith was studied. Embryogenic callus ratio is absolutely determined by genotype, but by adding high concentration of copper into medium, changing light condition and maintaining callus on initial induction medium for 8∼10 weeks, embryogenic callus can be easily distinguished and its growth can be promoted. There were significant differences among selected callus lines (each from one seed) according to their growth rates and regeneration percentages. Callus pre-treatment with activated charcoal inhibited callus growth, increased the level of precocious germination during culture and promoted shoot cluster formation after transfer to regeneration medium. For long-term callus maintenance, N6AA medium was better than MS medium, because the former inhibited non-embryogenic callus formation and kept vigor of embryogenic callus. The best callus lines Z-(5) has been successfully used for transformation and somaclonal variation selection in our laboratory.

The experiment was conducted to culture callus tissue induced from foliage leaf of garlic bulb for the production of virus-free stocks and for the reduction of expenses for seeds, The following results were reached. 1. Linsmaier-Skoog basal medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) $10^{-5}M$ and benzyladenine $10^{-5}M$ showed the most effective for the induction for the induction of garlic callus. 2. The growth rate of callus was the highest in Linsmaier-Skoog basal medium containing kinetin $10^{-6}M\;and\;2,4-D\;10^{-6}M$ 3. The results of periodical assay of virus concentration in callus tissues showed that virus was almost eliminated by repeated transfer of translucent and soft tissue for eight generations. 4. When virus-free garlic callus tissues were transfered to Murashige-Skoog basal medium containing kinetin $10^{-5}M$ and naphthaleneacetic acid $5\times10^{-6}M$, the tissues were redifferentiated and formed plantlet.

To increase the efficiency of the callus induction in anther culture of Schizandra chinensis, the effects of culture stage, low temperature pretreatment, growth regulators, sucrose and gelling agents were tested on Murashige and Skoog's medium. And the effects of ABA and $AgNO_3$ on organogenesis were investigated. The most suitable stage for anther culture was at the middle to late uninucleate stage, of which the flower size was $6.2{\pm}0.6{\times}4.0{\pm}0.4mm(Length{\times}width)$, and the frequency of callus induction was 13.3%. The effect of low-temperature pretreatment on callus induction was highest as 12.5% in the trearment for 8 days at $4^{\circ}C$. The combination of 1.0 mg/L 2, 4-D and 0.25 mg/L kinetin for callus induction was most effective as 8.3% among various media. The frequency of callus induction was excellent as 10.8% in 4% sucrose. Effect of gelling agents on callus induction was highest as 9.0% on 0.6% Gelrite medium. The prevention of callus browning was effective on the media supplemented with ABA and $AgNO_3$ and rooting was promoted on medium supplemented with 5 mg/L ABA. But shoot was not developed.

This experiment was conducted to know the effects of mutagen treatments on callus induction, plant regeneration and their ploidy in the anther culture of wheat. The winter wheat cultivars, 'apos;and 'apos;Wonkwang'apos;, were treated at the mid or late-uninucreate stage under 4 different doses (100, 200, 500 and 1,000 rad.) of X-ray and 3 different levels(0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mole) of Ethyl Methane Sulphonate. The anthers treated were set on the C$\_$17/medium for callus induction, and callus induced was transfered to 1/2 MS medium for plant regeneration. The mutagen treatments inhibited the callus induction but increased the plant regeneration in the callus which were induced from the anther set on the medium for the long time of 60 to 80 days. Also, the chromosome number to the regenerated plant varied largely by increasing of haploid plants(n=3x=21) and by occurring of aneuploidy having n=20 and n=22 of chromosome number.aried largely by increasing of haploid plants(n=3x=21) and by occurring of aneuploidy having n=20 and n=22 of chromosome number.
