Abeliophyllum distichum is a monotypic taxon of Oleaceae and endemic to Korea. A comprehensive study on embryogeny and fruit and seed coat ontogeny in Abeliophyllum was carried out via microtome and light microscopy. The fertilization occurs during mid– to late April and embryo matures by early July. The embryo development follows the general fashion from globular embryo – transition embryo – heart shaped embryo – torpedo embryo – walking-stick embryo to mature embryo. The pericarp clearly differentiates into three histological zones: exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp. The young seed comprises 10-12 cells thick seed coat and the mature seed coat comprises an exotesta, 6-8 mesotesta and an endotesta. Any crystals, phenolic-like compounds, idioblasts, and the sclereids are not found in pericarp as well as seed coat. An overall development confirms Solanade type of embryogenesis in Abeliophyllum. The endocarp becomes more prominent in mature fruit and all the layers of endocarp are highly lignified. On the basis of mechanical layer the seed coat is of exotestal type.

We established an efficient plant regeneration system for Catharanthus roseus L. (G.) Don through somatic embryogenesis. Embryogenic callus was induced from hypocotyl of seed germinated in vitro. Somatic embryogenesis in Catharanthus has been categorized into three distinct stages: (1) initiation and proliferation of embryo; (2) maturation, and; (3) germination or plantlet conversion. Beside plant growth regulators, various stages of embryogenesis were screened for their response to a wide variety of factors (pH, gelrite, light, sugar alcohols, polyethyleneglycol and amino acids), which affect embryogenesis. All of the tested factors had a small to marked influence on embryogeny and eventual conversion to plantlets. The plantlets were acclimatized successfully in a greenhouse. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing a detailed study of various cultural factors which regulate embryogenesis in C. roseus. The results discussed in this paper may be used in mass propagation to produce medicinal raw material, and the embryo precursor cells could be used in genetic modification programmes that aim to improve the alkaloid yield as well.

깽깽이풀의 발생학적 연구가 수행되었으며, 이를 매자나무과내의 근연속 들과 비교연구하였다. 깽깽이풀의 발생학적 특징은 4포약, basic type의 약벽형성, 2핵성의 glandular tapetum, 약벽 표피세포의 숙존, 내피층이 섬유상조직으로 발달, 판개형의 약 열개, 화분모세포의 연속형 세포질분열, 정사면체형 화분사분체, 약 열개시 화분은 2세포성, 양주피성, 도생배주, 후층성주심, 한개의 포원세포, 마디풀형 배낭형성, 성숙배낭은 타원형, 핵형 배유형성, 배 발생은 Onagrad 형태, 종자는 종의가 있고, 종피는 외종피외층형 등의 특징을 나타내었다. 매자나무과내의 다른 속들과 비교한 결과 깽깽이풀속은 융단세포의 핵수, 감수분열시 세포질의 분열패턴, 그리고 외종피외층의 두께 등에서 매자나무속이나 Mahonia속 보다는 삼지구엽초속과 Vancouveria 속에 좀 더 닮았다. 또한, 약벽형성 패턴, 융단세포의 핵수, 주심cap의 형성, 반족세포의 행동패턴등에서 한계령풀속과도 유사한 형질이 있었다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 한계령풀속은 다른 많은 발생형질과 분자 data에서 깽깽이풀속과는 다르다. 따라서 발생학적 증거들은 깽깽이풀속이 삼지구엽초속(Epimedium)과 Vancouveria 속에 가장 가까운 유연관계라는 것을 제시하고 있다.
