This study describes an efficient and widely applicable droplet-vitrification following cryopreservation for shoot tips of Chrysanthemum morifolium (Ramat.) cvs. 'Borami' and 'Yes morning'. The shoot tips of Chrysanthemum were precultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with sucrose (0.3-0.7 M). Precultured explants were treated with loading solution (LS, C6) containing glycerol 20% and sucrose 20% for 30 min and exposed to dehydration solution (B5) containing 40% of glycerol and 40% of sucrose for 60 min at $25^{\circ}C$, and then transferred onto droplets containing $2.5{\mu}l$ PVS3 on sterilized aluminum foils ($4cm{\times}0.5cm$) prior to direct immersion in liquid nitrogen (LN) for 1 h. The highest regeneration rate (%) was obtained when shoot tips were precultured with treatment-2 (exposing of shoot tips to MS + 0.3M sucrose for 30 h and then treated with MS+0.5 M sucrose for 16 h) at $25^{\circ}C$ in both the cultivars. The viability of cooled samples, followed by culturing on $NH_4NO_3$-free MS medium for first 5 days was increased to two-fold (80.7%) regrowth rate over those cultured on normal MS medium or MS medium containing plant growth regulators. This result shows droplet-vitrification would be a promising method for cryobanking chrysanthemum germplasm.

The aim of this study was to investigate antibacterial activities of essential oil from C. morifolium against four Grampositive bacteria and six Gram-negative bacteria. The antibacterial activity of the oils was determined by agar-well diffusion assay, minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC). Essential oil of C. morifolium had a large inhibition zones especially against Salmonella enterica(21 mm) and Bacillus cereus(19 mm). Essential oil of C. morifolium generally showed higher antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria. MIC of essential oil from C. morifolium was 5 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against ten food-borne pathogens. MBC values were determined to be from 5 to 20 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against eight bacteria except Salmonella choleraesuis and Listeria monocytogenes. Therefore, the essential oil of C. morifolium and its components have a potent antibacterial activity against food-borne pathogens, and is expected to be used as a novel food preservative.

This is the first report describing the seasonal conditions affecting shoot regeneration by the chrysanthemum cv. Baeksun. The shoot regeneration from petal explants was found to be more favorable from September to December, reaching the highest values in December. In addition, the quality of the shoots was also influenced according to the season of the explant collection, where healthy and uniform plants were derived from the explants collected in December. Choosing the proper season for explant collection affected the successive plant growth parameters (i.e., plant height and fresh weight). Thus, the current results strongly suggest that season plays an important role in plant tissue culturing, which is an essential tool for micropropagation and Agro-bacterium-mediated genetic transformation studies.

Biological and molecular characterization of a Korean isolate of Orthotospovirus chrysanthinecrocaulis (formerly known as chrysanthemum stem necrosis virus, CSNV) isolated from Chrysanthemum morifolium was determined using host range and sequence analysis in this study. Twenty-three species of indicator plants inoculated mechanically CSNV-Kr was investigated for determination of host range. CSNV-Kr induced various local and systemic symptoms in the inoculated plant species. CSNV-Kr could not infect three plant species and induced symptomless in systemic leaves in Nicotiana tabacum cultivars, though the plant samples reacted positively with the antiserum to CSNV by double-antibody sandwich-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The complete genome sequence of CSNV-Kr was determined. The L RNA of CSNV-Kr consists of 8,959 nucleotides (nt) and encodes a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The M RNA of CSNV-Kr consists of 4,835 nt and encodes the movement protein (NSm) and the glycoprotein precursor (Gn/Gc protein). The S RNA of CNSV-Kr consists of 2,836 nt and encodes NSs protein and N protein. The Gn/Gc and N sequence of CSNV-Kr were compared with those of previously published CSNV isolates originating from different countries at nucleotide and amino acid levels. The Gn/GC sequence of CSNV-Kr shared 98.8-99.5% identity with CSNV isolated from other countries and the N sequence of CSNV-Kr shared 98.8-99.6% identity. No particular region of variability could be found in either grouping of viruses. All of the CSNV isolates did not show any relationship according to geographical origins and isolation hosts, suggesting no distinct segregation of the CSNV isolates.

The flower of Chrysanthemum morifolium L. has been used as 'Kamguk' in the Korean markets instead of it from C. indicum L. In order to evaluate the quality of Chrysanthemi Flos, the method for isolation and quantitative determination of luteolin as standard compound has been developed. It is analyzed with HPLC using the solvent system of MeOH-water-acetic acid (30:70:5). The amounts of luteolin from Chrysanthemi Flos in Korean markets are in the range of $0.03{\sim}0.04%.$ The amounts of luteolin from the flowers of C. indicum and C. boreale are approximately 0.14% and 0.04%, respectively.

Incidence of crown gall on lower stem of chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat., was first observed at Hwasung, Gyeonggi, Korea in 2001, Tumors on the stem were 1.5-2 cm in size and semi-round with rough surface texture of dark brown color. Four strains of bacteria isolated from the tumor tissues were characterized. Their colonies were convex, glistening, circular with an entire edge, and white to tannish-cream in color on PDA plus CaCO$_3$. They were gram negative, oxidase positive, and growing on DIM agar. The bacterial isolates inducing gall formation in chrysanthemum were identified as Agrobacterium tumefaciens based on biochemical and physiological characteristics, fatty acid profile using Sherlock Microbial Identification System, and substrate utilization patterns using Biolog Identification System. Young chrysanthemum plants inoculated with the bacteria developed typical galls within two to three weeks. Seedlings of tomato and slices of carrot roots also produced typical galls two to three weeks after inoculation. This is the first report on crown gall of chrysanthemum in Korea.

Chrysanthemums (Chrysanthemum morifolium) are susceptible to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). TMV-based expression vectors have been used in high-throughput experiments for production of foreign protein in plants and also expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) to allow visualization of TMV movement. Here, we used TMV expressing the GFP to examine the infection of chrysanthemum by a TMV-based expression vector. Viral replication, movement and GFP expression by TMV-GFP were verified in upper leaves of chrysanthemums up to 73 days post inoculation (dpi) by RT-PCR. Neither wild-type TMV nor TMV-GFP induced symptoms. GFP fluorescence was seen in the larger veins of the inoculated leaf, in the stem above the inoculation site and in petioles of upper leaves, although there was no consistent detection of GFP fluorescence in the lamina of upper leaves under UV. Thus, a TMV-based expression vector can infect chrysanthemum and can be used for the in vivo study of gene functions.

Screening for antibacterial activities with microorganisms related to the food putrefaction by ethanol extract from Chrysanthemum petals widely used for the traditional wine production, and antibacterial activities of each concentration and minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) from the ethanol extract were researched. Antibacterial activity of ehanol extract for B. subtilis was higher in C. boreale than in C. Morifolium, but that of E. coli was higher in C. molifolium than in C. boreale. C. boreale was higher than C. morifolium in the antibacterial activity of ehanol extract and MIC of ehanol extract from C. boreale was 60-70${\mu}\ell$/ml. Ethanol extract from C. boreale was higher Gram(-) than Gram(+) in the antibacterial activities, but Gram(-), Gram(+) were greatly inhibited on growth in 100${\mu}\ell$ concentration.

This study investigated the effects of cryopreserving Chrysanthemum morifolium cv. 'White ND' shoot tips for eliminating viroids. As a result, smaller shoot tips (2-3 LP, 1mm) showed a better survival and regrowth than larger shoot tips (4-5 LP, 1.5mm). The most effective vitrification solution for survival and regrowth was PVS3, which induced a high survival rate after 60 minutes of incubation. For a high efficiency, the best pre-treatment condition for vitrification was incubation in 88 mM sucrose for 24 h, 0.3M sucrose for 16 h, 0.5 M sucrose for 6 h, and 0.7 M sucrose for 3 h, in a descending order. The ploidy levels were the same in the mother plants and following cryopreservation, which confirmed the absence of any gene mutation.
