aA series of experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of plant growth regulator treatments on the growth and lateral root formation in soybean sprouts in order to establish the effective method of producing root-less or short-rooted soybean sprouts with larger diameter in the hypocotyl. Major results can be summarized as follows. 1. Soybean sprouts showed fairly uniform elongation rate from 3 to g days after imbibition with daily increase of 3.8cm. The speed of elongation of hypocotyl was reduced whereas that of root accelerated 7 days after imbibition. Lateral roots began to emerge fairly evenly from 5 to 9 days after imbibition with a daily increase of 4.4. 2. Auxins(IAA, IBA, NAA, 2,4-D) inhibited hypocotyl elongation and formation of lateral roots and increased hypocotyl diameter without influencing root length and hook diameter at higher concentrations. The dry weight of cotyledon was increased significantly as compared to that of hypocotyl and root. Among the tested auxins, 2, 4-D was the most effective. 3. BA and 4PU-30 significantly reduced elongation of hypocotyl and root and resulted in the biggest diameter of hypocotyl when treated at higher concentrations. The lowest effective concentration of BA to prevent the formation of larval gal roots was 12.5ppm. The formation of lateral roots could be completely prevented by BA and 4PU-30 treatment but kinetin, zeatin, zeatin riboside resulted in many lateral roots and increased thickness of soybean sprouts with little influence. Cotyledon deformation was found in soybean sprouts treated by 4PU-30. 4. 2, 4-D was the most effective for increasing the hypocotyl diameter while 4PU-30 was the most effective for reducing no. of lateral roots. 5. It can be concluded that among the plant growth regulators tested, BA was effective in reducing root length and increasing hypocotyl diameter. BA 12.5 ppm or 15 ppm may thus be the more practical for production of soybean sprouts. 6. ABA showed no significant effect of growth parameter, however ABA 25 ppm inhibited only no of lateral roots with little influence on the growth of seedling. 7. Ethephon inhibited the elongation of hypocotyl and root and increased hypocotyl diameter at higher concentrations. 8. The combined effect of cytokinins and ethephon was very similar to result of BA treatment alone. As the ethephon concentration increased, hypocotyl diameter and dry weight of cotyledon tended to increase.

The effect of carbenicillin on the dedifferentiation and the regeneration efficiency of plant tissues of horseradish(Armoracia rusticana) was evaluated, Inhibition effect for callus initiation was observed when leaf blade, root and petiole segments were grown on MS medium containing 500 mg/L to 2000 mg/L carbenicillin and 0.5 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The regeneration of horseradish shoots from leaf blade, root and petiole explants were decreased as the addition of carbenicillin increased from 1000 mg/L to 2000 mg/L in MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) or kinetin. Especially, 500 mg/L carbenicillin treatment significantly inhibited shoot induction when leaf blade explants were grown on hormone-free MS medium. It was suggested that the toxic effects of combinations of carbenicillin and 2,4-D may be due to high auxin activity levels.

Contents of mineral element and cytokinin in the xylem sap of 'Keumdongee' and 'Tongilhwang' oriental melons were compared with those in oriental melons grafted onto 8 rootstocks. The effect of grafting on the fruit quality of oriental melon was also investigated. Flesh firmness varied with rootstocks. Soluble solids contents in the placenta tissue of grafted 'Tongilhwang' were higher than that in the 'Keumdongee'. Electric conductivity of the xylem sap in own-rooted plants was higher in 'Keumdongee' than in 'Tongilhwang', but it increased in 'Tongilhwang' once they were grafted. The sap volume per plant was greater in 'Keumdongee' than in 'Tongilhwang'. The mineral concentrations varied considerably depending on the rootstock used. Xylem sap of grafted oriental melons contained a higher amount of mineral ions, especially $NO_3{^-}$ and $PO_4{^-}$, than did the sap in own-rooted plants. The increase in the mineral levels in sap due to grafting was most apparent in 'Tongilhwang'. Xylem sap from both 'Keumdongee' and 'Tongilhwang' contained trans-zeatin (t-Z), trans-zeatin riboside (t-ZR), and dihydrozeatin riboside (DHZR). Small amounts of isopentenyl adenine (IPA) and isopentenyl adenine riboside (IPAR) were also detected. Trans-zeatin riboside was the most abundant, followed by t-Z. Cytokinin concentration in 'Keumdongee' was not significantly influenced by rootstock type used, although the highest concentration of cytokinins in 'Keumdongee' was obtained with 'Chamtozwa' rootstock. However, the cytokinin concentration in 'Tongilhwang' increased with grafting irrespective of rootstock type used.

Brassinosteroids are known to promote cell elongation in a wide range of plant species but their effect on cell division has not been extensively studied. The effect of brassinolide on the kinetics and final division frequencies of regenerating petal protoplasts of Petunia hybrida Vilm v. Comanche was examined. Under optimal auxin and cytokinin conditions, 10-100 nM brassinolide not only reduced the time of first cell division by 4.5 days but also altered the final division frequencies after 10 days of culture. One micromolar brassinolide showed the same acceleration of first cell division but inhibited the final division frequency by approximately 9%. Under sub-optimal auxin conditions, 10-100 nM brassinolide accelerated the first cell division, but no significant increase in the 8-10 days final division frequencies. Isolated protoplasts may provide a useful model system for the investigation of the molecular mechanisms of brassinosteroid action on cell division and proliferation in higher plants.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the bleeding xylem sap characteristics, mineral contents and endogenous plant hormon contents in cucumbeer and origental melen plant grafted onto different rootstocks and various cucubitaceous crops developed for rootstocks. The volume of xylem sap, expressed as milliliter per 100g plant flesh weight, was high in the Heukzong rootstock plant as compared to the other rootstock plant,. Acidity(pH) and electric conductivity(EC) values in breeding xylem sap were not much influenced by the kind of rootstocks. Incucumber plant grafted onto different rootstocks, the contents of xylem sap in total nitrogen, phosphorus and K were increased by grafting, whereas those of Ca and Mg were decreased. Rootstocks had no influence on the total nitrogen contents in xylen sap of ‘Sineuncheon’, but decreased K Contents. Conecntration of cytokinin-like substances in origental melon xylem sap was a little higher in Sintozwa and ungrafted.

This experiment was conducted to select acid tolerant cells from red clover suspension culture and obtained following results. The most effective condition of plant growth regulators for suspension culture of red clover cells was 2 mg/l 2,4-D as auxin source plus 0.5 mg/l BAP as cytokinin source. Among serveral basal media, PC medium brought the best result. The most suitable EMS concentration for the mutated cells tolerant to acid was 1 % with fours treatment and average 27 colonies/plate were selected. The frequency of the occurence of mutants tolerant to acid in 1 % EMS with four hours treatment was 8.9 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ which was 100 times larger than that of control. The total colonies selected initially were 176 but the survived colonies after two subcultures with 4 weeks interval in a selection medium were 44.

This experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of plant growth regulator treatments on the ethylene evolution in soybean sprouts. Major results can be summarized as follows. 1. IAA showed no significant effect on the ethylene evolution in soybean sprouts. 2. BA increased significantly ethylene evolution while kinetin, zeatin, zeatin riboside were less effective on the ethylene production in soybean sprouts. 3. As the BA concentration was increased, the ethylene evolution was increased. 4. BA increased ethylene production more effectively at earlier stages while 4PU-30 was more effective for ethylene production rather continuously. 5. The order of effectiveness of cytokinins and auxin on the ethylene evolution was as follows : BA 25 ppm>BA 25ppm+IAA 25ppm${\geq}$4PU-30 25ppm>IAA 25ppm>control. 6. It can be concluded that BA was the most effective in inhibiting lateral roots, among the cytokinins tested, and resulted in the biggest diameter of hypocotyl by the ethylene evolution stimulated by BA treatment.

This study was conducted to determine the optimal rooting media composition and plant growth regulators for the mass production of new three cultivars in Dendrobium. Rooting medium experiments showed that shooting rate of 'Fizz' was the highest in perlite (Per) and vermiculite (V) mixture (1 : 1, v/v). Rooting rate of 'Prince' was 10% in the same treatment 60 days after cutting, while those of 'Candy' and 'Fizz' showed no shooting. With various kinds of auxin and different levels of concentrations, shooting rate in the other cultivars except 'Candy' increased highly at 60 days after cutting. Whereas, there were no differences between control and treatment except that of 'Fizz' with 200 ppm of IBA treatments showing 86.7%. Rates of cutting with leaves of 'Candy' and 'Fizz' were fairly high with 200 ppm of IBA compared to the control. Rate of rooting of 'Prince' was twice with 200 ppm of IBA or 50 ppm of NAA compared to the control. With various kinds of cytokinin and different concentrations, shooting rate of 'Candy' was 20% with 50 ppm of BA at 60 days after cutting; however, that of 'Fizz' increased in all treatments in 30 days after cutting and reached 100% with 200 ppm of BA compared to the control which was 77% at 60 days after cutting. Kinetin treatment had little effect on shooting rate compared to control at all concentrations. Treatment with 200 ppm of BA had clear effect on the rate of cutting with leaves of 'Fizz' and 'Prince', which was similar to shooting rate. However, the same treatment of BA had no effect on the rooting rate in all cultivars.
