This study was carried out to find out the optimum hardening condition for ginseng plantlets redifferentiated by tissue culture method. While a lot of root hair were observed on the root of seedling grown on the soil, few root hair were observed on the root of plantlet redifferentiated in vitro. On the medium solidified with $0.1{\%}$ phytagel, root hair was not observed and root weight, root width and laternal root development were also very poor. While raising the phytagel concentration on the media, root hair began to increase and root weight, root width and latemal root development were improved. Vascular tissue of plantlet grown on the medium with $0.1{\%}$ phytagel was very poor, but that of plantlet grown on the medium with $0.8{\%}$ phytagel was very good.

These experiments were carried out to examine the effect of explant sources and plant growth regulators on callus induction and plantlet differentiation. Cotyledon and petiole explants of Cyclamen persium were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of auxins and cytokinins. Cotyledon cultured on medium containing 2, 4-D and kinetin did not form callus or shoots. But when calli induced from petiole explants on medium with 1.0 mg/L 2, 4D and 1.0 mg/L kinetin were subcultured on the same medium the formation of shoots from calli occurred after 150 days of culture. The combination of NAA and BA were more effective than that of 2, 4 D and kinetin in the formation of shoots from calli, cotyledon culture was most effective on medium with 0.2 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L BA. Shoots excised from calli were rooted on medium with 1.0 mg/L NAA. The plantlets were subsequently transplanted to potting soil.

This study was conducted to examine effects of concentrations of abscisic acid (ABA) or /kinds of osmotica on induction of somatic embryos (SEs), germination and plantlet regeneration in Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi). In comparison of duration of culture, concentrations of ABA and osmoticum, the highest induction number (191/g tissue) of the SE was showed in $60{\mu}M$ ABA+0.2 M sucrose for 4 weeks culture. However, the lowest number (3.5~23.5) of SEs was induced from $4{\mu}M$ ABA+0.1 M sucrose, regardless of culture duration for SEs induction. In comparison of germination efficiency of SEs, the highest induction frequencies of cotyledon (90.9%), hypocotyl (95.8%) and root (96.5%), respectively, were obtained from the SEs that cultured from the treatment of $60{\mu}M$ ABA+0.2 M sucrose with 5 weeks culture. In contrast, the lowest germination response was showed in SEs that induced from the treatment of $4{\mu}M$ ABA+0.1 M sucrose. In comparison of effect of different kinds/concentrations of osmotica for germination and plantlet regeneration, the best response was obtained from the treatment of 0.2 M sucrose with induction of cotyledon (98.3%), hypocotyl (78.4%), root (57.5%) and plantlet regeneration (54.8%), respectively.

Certain bacterial species associate with plant roots in soil. The plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) stimulate plant growth and yield in greenhouse and field. Here, we examined whether application of known bacilli PGPR strains stimulated growth and asexual reproduction in the succulent plant Kalanchoe daigremontiana. Four PGPR strains B. amyloliquefaciens IN937a, B. cereus BS107, B. pumilus INR7, and B. subtilis GB03 were applied to young plantlets by soil-drenching, and plant growth and development was monitored for three months. Aerial growth was significantly stimulated in PGPR-inoculated plants, which was observed as increases in plant height, shoot weight, and stem width. The stimulated growth influenced plant development by increasing the total number of leaves per plant. Treatment with bacilli also increased the total root biomass compared with that of control plants, and led to a 2-fold increase in asexual reproduction and plantlet formation on the leaf. Collectively, our results firstly demonstrate that Bacillus spp. promote vegetative development of K. daigremontiana, and the enhanced growth stimulates asexual reproduction and plantlet formation.

The insecticidal protein gene in the pKL-20-1 clone derived from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar. kurstaki plasmid was subcloned in the plant shuttle vector, pGA643. The 7.3 kb fragment was cloned in the BglII and Hpal sites of pGA643 vector and expressed in E. coli S17-1, which produced insecticidal proteins killing Bombyx mori larvae. The clone was named pHL-20. The protoplast formation, calli induction and plantlet regeneration of Nicotiana tabacum was carried out. A tremendous number of mesophyll protoplasts of N. tabacum were formed, up to 7$\times$105 protoplast per ml, for 20 hours in darkness in the enzyme solution of 0.5% cellulase and 0.1% macerosin, pH 5.8. The viabilities of the protoplasts were maintained above 80% for 6 days in the media containing 2mg/1 of NAA and 1mg/1 of kinetin. Calli were induced from the protoplasts and leaves of the N. tabacum on MS medium containing 0.5mg/1 BAP. Under the culture conditions the protoplasts underwent repeated cell division into calli. Plantlets were regenerated from callus cultures derived from protoplast and leaves. Shoots were induced in a medium containing 1mg/1 of BAP.

An efficient method for in vitro propagation of the medicinal plant Hovenia duleis, was established. Plantlets for micropropagation of H. dulcis were obtained from in vitro germinated seeds. The effectiveness of various levels of cytokinins (BAP, Kinetin and TDZ) on multiple shoot formation from stem nodes was tested. BAP (1.0 mg/L) treatment induced highest number of multiple shoots. The growth pattern of plantlet on various culture media was undertaken. The shoot elongation was optimal on 2MS basal medium without growth regulators. The in vitro rooting ability of H. dulcis shoots was examined with two-auxins IAA and IBA. The IAA (1.0 mg/L) treatments induced earliest rooting with maximum number of roots and root growth. Rooted shoots were transferred directly to small pots with artificial soil and such established plant exhibited a normal growth pattern similar to wild plantlet.

The genus Bryophyllum is best known for many of its species having the ability to produce plantlets on their leaves. This phenomenon is also known as vegetative reproduction. Differential expressed gene (DEG) detecting technique was applied in order to survey the genes involved in the process of asexual reproduction for plantlet formation. Based on homology search using the NCBI database after screening of genes, 38 genes were identified from a total of 69 DEGs. Most of these DEGs were related to cell division, to intercellular signal transduction, and to hormone (cytokinin and ethylene) signaling.

The medicinal value of the genus Cleome justifies bio-technological studies of Cleome rosea, a Brazilian annual species from sandy coastal ecosystems (restinga), which have been submitted to an intense process of antropogenic degradation. In the present work, was analyzed the influence of cytokinins, 6-benzyladenine (BA) and 6-furfurylaminopurine (kinetin) added to the Murashige and Skoog medium (MS), on the proliferation capacity of explants from the stem axis (hypocotyl, node and internode) for a period of five monthly subcultures (150 days). Regardless of the explant sources, plantlet regeneration by direct and indirect organogenesis was observed. The largest number of shoots proliferated through direct organogenesis was obtained on medium with 4.4 $\mu{M}$ BA. Also, the highest proliferation capacity through indirect organogenesis was found on medium with 4.4 $\mu{M}$ BA + 4.6 $\mu{M}$ kinetin. The presence of kinetin alone was not effective for multiplication of the species. Elongation and rooting were obtained when shoots were transferred onto growth regulator-free medium, and acclimatization rates from 70% to 81% were achieved depending on explant sources used. Plants were then successfully established in soil and showed normal phenotypes.
