In order to investigate the effects of added magnetized water on the callus induction and plant regeneration in rice, 700G(G=Gauss) magnetized water were used. The callus in-duction and plant regeneration of rice in magnetized water treatment are different from the callus induction and plant regeneration in ionic water treatment. The rates of callus induction in magnetized water media were 27.3% in solid media and 15.4% in liquid which were compared to that of callus induction in the ionic water media 21 and 13.3%. Also plant regeneration frequency in the magnetic water media is 5.4% better than that of the ionic water media. And dissolved oxgen amount of magnetic culture media is from 0.1 ppm to 0.9 ppm more than that of ionic culture media. The pH value was increased with rising of water temperature, and the magnetic water was effected at increasing of pH value.

Calli and suspension cultures were obtained following inoculation of the explant from leaves of Ginkgo biloba L on the supplemented MS basal medium. The obtained calli and suspension cultured cells were able to produce detectable amounts of ginkgolides which are known as natural specific PAF antagonists. The production of ginkgolides in the calli and suspension cultured celles were identified using GC/MS, GC and HPLC with authentic ocmpounds. Since the production of ginkgolides A and B the calli and suspension cultured cells had been confirmed, effects of types and concentration of plant growth regulators, media and illumination on the induction and growth of the callus were studied. The concentrations of growth regulators for optimal callus were studied. The concentrations of growth regulators for optimal callus induction were studied. The concentrations of growth regulators for optimal callus induction were 1.0 to 2.0 mg/L for NAA and o.1 mg/L for kinetin. The growth of the Callus seemed to be more simnultaed with the combination of NAA and kinetin than NAA and BA with illumination at all concentration ranges of 1.0 to 4.0 mg/l for NAA and o.1 to 1.0 mg/L for kinetin or BA studied. Amogn 8 different media used, the induction rate of callus on Anderson, Eriksson, and Shenk and Hildebrant at 4 weeks after the innoculation was almost the same as that of MS. However, callus was rarely induced on Heller or White medium. Suspension cultures were easily initiated with 3 g of callus (fresh weight) derived from ginkgo leaves on supplemented MS medium. A typical growth curve of suspension cultured cells could be obtained by measuring the fresh weight of the suspension cultured cells at every 3 days. To improve the growth of suspension cultured cells of ginkgo, effects of concentrations of NAA, sucrose, phosphate ions and molar ratio of $NH_{4}^+\;to\;NO_{3}^-$ ions in the culture medium were studied. The maximum growth of the cells was achieved when the culture medium contained 1.0 mg/L of NAA, 30 g/L sucrose, 1.75 mM phosphate ions and 1:5 molar ratio of $NH_{4}\;to\;NO_{3}^-$ ions.

An efficient micropropagation protocol based on multiple shoot induction and callus regeneration has been standardized in Sarcostemma brevistigma, a rare medicinal plant. The nodal cuttings were cultured on MS medium supplemented with BA ($0.5-8{\mu}M$) or Kn ($0.5-8{\mu}M$) alone or in combination with NAA ($0.5-1.5{\mu}M$). Maximum multiple shoot induction was observed on MS medium supplemented with $4{\mu}M$ BA. On this medium, 100% cultures responded with an average number of 11.3 shoots per explant. However, the average shoot length was limited to only 0.9 cm on this medium. The addition of $1{\mu}M$ NAA along with $4{\mu}M$ BA gave rise to an average number of 10.9 shoots with an average shoot length of 1.8 cm. Luxuriantly growing callus was obtained on MS medium supplemented with BA ($5{\mu}M$) and 2,4-D ($2{\mu}M$). The callus was subcultured on MS medium supplemented with BA ($2-15{\mu}M$) or Kn ($2-15{\mu}M$) alone or in combination with NAA ($0.5-2{\mu}M$) for shoot organogenesis. Optimum callus regeneration was obtained on MS medium supplemented with $10{\mu}M$ BA and $1{\mu}M$ NAA. On this medium, 100% cultures responded with an average number of 13.4 shoots per culture. The shoots obtained via multiple shoot induction and organogenesis were rooted on half-strength MS medium supplemented with NAA ($1-7{\mu}M$) or IBA ($1-7{\mu}M$). IBA was better than NAA in terms of both the percentage of cultures that responded and the average number of roots per explant. The rooted shoots were successfully transplanted to soil with 86% success. This standardized protocol will help to conserve this rare medicinal plant.

Immature and mature embryos of 18 Korean wheat genotypes were cultured in vitro to develop an efficient method of callus formation and plant regeneration, and to compare the responses of both embryo cultures. Immature and mature embryos were placed on a solid agar medium containing the MS salts and vitamins, 30g/l maltose, 2 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and amino acids. The developed calli were maintained on regeneration medium containing MS salts and B5 vitamins, 20 g/l sucrose, and the combination of two plant growth regulators, 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Immature embryos in most genotypes showed high efficiency of callus induction except three genotypes; Eunpamil, Chunggemil, and Namhaemil, and significant differences among the genotypes. Plant regeneration of calli induced from immature embryos showed high efficiency in Geurumil (56.5%), Tapdongmil (50.5%), Gobunmil (45.5%), and Urimil(42.2%). The analysis of variance showed significant differences for regeneration frequency among the genotypes. Mature embryos showed low callus induction frequency compared with that in immature embryos, and significant differences among the genotypes. Plant regeneration of calli induced from mature embryos showed high efficiency in Keumkangmil (33.33%), Tapdongmil(28.13%), and Geurumil (27.78%). The analysis of variance showed significant differences for plant regeneration frequency among the genotypes.

In an effort to optimize tissue culture responses of zoysiagrass(Zoysia japonica Steud.) for genetic transformation, factors affecting callus induction and plant regeneration were investigated. MS medium containing 3 mg/L 2,4-D was optimal for embryogenic callus induction from mature seed. The plant regeneration frequency of 73.3% was observed when embryogenic calli induced in this medium were transferred to N6 medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L 2,4-D and 5 mg/L BA. Among several basic media, MS and N6 medium were optimal for callus induction and plant regeneration, respectively. Regenerated plants were grown normally when shoots transplanted to the soil. A rapid and efficient plant regeneration system established in this study will be useful for molecular breeding of turfgrass through genetic transformation.

These studies were designed to define the effects of temperature on the vegetative growth of the korean ginseng, the induction and growth of the ginseng callus and organ differentiation from the callus of ginseng. At the temperature over $25^{\circ}C$. the plant growth of ginseng was significantly decreased and the chlorophyll in the .central parts of leaflets was deteriorated. Induction and growth of the ginseng callus was best at $25^{\circ}C$. High temperature of $29^{\circ}C$ promoted the initiation of roots from callus tissue but the shoot was not initiated at the temperature over $25^{\circ}C$. Shoots initiation from the ginseng callus occurred at $21^{\circ}C$ or lower temperature.

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs), which were related to the ability of callus induction and plant regeneration in seed culture of rice, were analyzed using a mapping population from a cross between the rice cultivars 'Samgang' (tongil type) and 'Nagdong' (japonica). A tongil type rice cultivar, 'Samgang' showed lower frequency (20%) of plant regeneration than that (35%) of japonica rice, 'Nagdong'. Transgressive segregations were observed for the ability of callus induction and plant regeneration from the seed-derived calli of 58 doubled haploid (DH) lines. The ability of plant regeneration of 58 doubled haploid lines showed a continuous distribution with comparatively wide range (10.0 to 66.7%) of variation. Composite interval mapping analysis was used to identify the QTLs controlling callus induction and plant regeneration ability. Four significant QTLs, qCWS6, qCWS8, qCWS9 and qCWS11, associated with callus weight per seed were detected on chromosomes 6, 8, 9, and 11 with LOD values of 3.30, 2.60, 2.70 and 2.43, explaining 36% of the total phenotypic variation. Three significant QTLs, qPR1, qPR6, and qPR11, for the ability of plant regeneration were located on chromosome 1, 6, and 11 at LOD score of 2.25, 2.15 and 2.55, accounting for 24 % of the total phenotypic variation. The present study should be useful for improving the efficiency of plant regeneration in tissue culture of indica rice by means of marker-assisted selection.

We investigated the callus induction and plant regeneration ability of 16 maize genotypes, including the Korean inbred lines, using 9 to 15 day-old immature zygotic embryos from maize grown in pots and from field cultures. Immature zygotic embryos placed on MS medium supplemented with L-proline 0.7 g/L, MES 0.5 g/L, Dicamba 1.5 mg/L, 2,4-D 0.5 mg/L, $AgNO_3$ 4 mg/L, and sucrose 20 g/L, showed the highest frequency of callus induction. The highest number of shoots regenerated when the embryogenic callus were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 5 mg/L zeatin. The root formation was observed when shoots were grown on MS medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Additionally, under the same culture conditions, immature zygotic embryos from maize grown in the field also had a high frequency of plant regeneration. Except one genotype, 15 genotypes showed callus induction and shoot regeneration. Among the 16 genotypes tested, H99, B98, HW3, and B73 yielded the best plant regeneration. H99 showed maximum shoot formation from the primary embryogenic callus. The results suggest that genotypes and growth conditions of the maize plant plays very important roles for enhancing the embryogenesis competence of immature zygotic embryos. The successful regeneration from immature zygotic embryos of maize inbred lines provides a basis for molecular breeding of new cultivars by genetic transformation.

This study was conducted to establish the tissue culture system for Korean domestic Miscanthus sinensis, which is used in various purposes such as forage, and bio-energy resources. With the mature seed of Miscanthus, optimum concentrations of plant growth regulators were identified for an efficient callus induction and regeneration. Among the treatments of 1~10 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-D, IBA, or NAA, callus induction rate was highest (85.3%) on MS medium containing 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-D. Under the condition, the callus were efficiently induced and proliferated with comparably lower frequencies of callus browning. In shoot regeneration, the treatment of NAA combined with BAP seemed to contribute more efficient conditions to shoot regeneration than those of NAA with Kinetin or 2-iP. Especially, regeneration efficiency and number of regenerated plants were 83.7% and 5.5 in 3 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA with 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BAP, respectively, which were higher frequencies than those in NAA with Kinetin or 2-iP. In results, 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-D and 3 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA combined with 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BAP were efficient for embryogenic callus induction and regeneration of Miscanthus. This system would be useful for mass-propagation and developing new cultivars via tissue culture of Miscanthus sinensis.

The effects of explant sources, plant growth regulators on callus induction and plantlet differentiation from leaf blade, petiole, and meristem tissue of Pelalgonium citrosa were investigated under illumination or in dark condition Leaf blade explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium containing 2,4-D and kinetin did not form callus or organ. But those cultured on medium with NAA and BA produced callcus and shoots. Dark condition was more effective than light condition to callus induction and showed that some of shoot were differentiated directly from leaf blade explane. Callus proliferated vigorously on meristem tissue after 7 days of culture, and multiple shoots were obtained Sum callus on medium with 0.5 mg/L NAA and BA. Roots formed readily from about 80% of the shoots cultured on medium with 1.0 mg/L NAA. Regenerated plantlets regenerated had phenotypically normal leaves and roots.
