This experiment was carried out to observe the origin and developmental pattern of somatic embryos of Oenanthe javanica ($B^{L}.$) DC. The experiment included observation of embryogenic cells and their development stages by light microscope, transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope. The embryogenic cells, which were smaller than non-embryogenic cells in size with expanded nucleus and dense cytoplasm. When stained with hematoxylin, the embryogenic cells were readily distinguished from the non-embryogenic cells of which cell walls were stained with safranin. It was observed at somatic embryos developed from single cells on the epidermis of developing embryos or in the surface or inside of embryogenic clumps by segmentation pattern. Observation with a transmission electron microscope revealed that the embryogenic cells had dense cytoplasm expanded nucleus, small vacuoles, large amyloplasts containing starch grains, and abundant organelles including lipid bodies. Under a scanning electron microscope, embryogenic callus was shown to consist of very smaller cells than non-embryogenic cells in an orderly arrangement and covered with a net-like structure, while the non-embryogenic callus consisted of large cells, irregular in size and arrangement, and covered with a gelatin-like material.

This experiment was conducted to find out the optimum cultural conditions for the propagation of M.9 apple rootstocks such as EMLA M.9 and NAKB T-337 in vitro. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA, $0.1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IAA, $30g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ sucrose, and $8g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ agar was suitable for shoot proliferation. Removing of apical meristem and horizontal placing of explants on medium increased shoot proliferation significantly. The best rooting was obtained on 1/2 MS medium supplemented with 0$0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IBA, $20g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ sucrose, and $8g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ agar.

This study was carried out to establish a mass production of normal somatic embryos of Oenanthe iavanica (BL.) DC. including examination of nitrogen and sucrose sources, and ABA concentration. Embryogenic cell clumps and embryos were formed on the MS medium devoid of growth regulators. Proliferation of embryogenic cells and clumps was enhanced by 2, 4-D. Meanwhile embryo growth and development occurred on the media containing NAA and IBA. Growth of embryos was generally good in the media containing both 20 mM $KNO_3$ and 20 mM $NH_4NO_3$. The rate of shoot forming embryos was higher on the media containing on1y 20mM $NH_4NO_3$ than on the former. Addition of sucrose at 3-6% enhanced the embryo development, and normal embryos with short hypocotyl was observed on the medium containing $10\mu\textrm{M}$ ABA. Embryogenic cell clumps or globular embryos, when transferred to MS solid media devoid of growth regulators, developed into mature embryos and then into plantlets which had entire primary leaves like zygotic seedlings.
