This study was rimed out to examine the difference in the cell vitality between mesophyII protoplast (MP) and paraveinal mesophyII protoplast (PVMP) of Nicotiana tabaccum 'Xanti', Petunia hybrida 'Blue Star' and Chrysanthemum morifolium 'Baeckwang' by using urea permeability technique. The effects of various enzyme solutions and incubation time, NAA and thidiazron on plant regeneration from isolated protoplasts were also investigated. The vibratome technique was used for protoplast isolation and urea permeability test because the fresh living, thin tissue stripes (50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of thickness) could be obtained with minimal damage with the vibratome. For the three plants examined, the urea permeability on the tested tissue stripes was relatively higher in PVMP than in MP by about Ks = 2.0 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ cm/sec. The treatment of an enzyme mixture of 1.5% cellulase R-10, 1% Driselase, 0.5% Macerozyme R-10, and 0.5% Pectinase for 4 to 8 h was effective on the isolation of PVMP. The highest frequency of callus formation and plant regeneration from the isolated protoplasts was obtained with NAA 2 mg/L and thidiazuron 0.01 mg/L. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that cell devision and plantlet regeneration was more frequent in the PVMP than in the MP of the same leaf or plant We, therefore, conclude that UM is an excellent experimental material for the callus formation and regeneration from isolated protoplasts.

As an endeavor to establish a micropropagation system for Epimedium koreanum Nakai., this study was carried out to define methods to disinfect its explants and media for callus induction, proliferation and plant regeneration. The lowest infection rates by fungi or bacteria on apical and axillary bud explants of rhizome were observed when they were immerged in 0.3% NaOCl solution for 20 min after soaked in 0.1% $AgNO_3$ solution for 30 min, but leaf explants were seldom infected with fungi or bacteria by this disinfectant method. The highest rate of plantlet formation was obtained from the explants disinfected in 0.3% NaOCl solution for 20 min after soaked in 0.1% $AgNO_3$ solution for 60 min for tip buds and in 0.1 % $AgNO_3$ solution for 30 min for axillary buds of rhizome. Induction rate of callus was the highest from the explants disinfectd in 0.3% NaOCl solution for 20 min after soaked in 0.2% $AgNO_3$ solution for 15 min. Callus growth was proper in a modified 1/2 MS medium including half strength of $NH_4NO_3$ with $0.02-0.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA and $2.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA. Low rate of plantlet regeneration was obtained in 1/2 UM or 1/2 White medium with $2.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA and $0.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ AA.

To obtain regeneration system of onion, we analyzed the effects of 2,4-D and BA concentration on the embryogenic callus induction from mature embryos. The highest embryogenic callus induction ratio was shown on MS medium (Murashie and Skoog 1962) containing $2.5\;\cal{mg/L}\;or\;5\;\cal{mg/L}$ picloram after mature embryos were placed on medium. When induced callus were cultured on half strength of MS medium containing $1\;\cal{mg/L}$ Kinetin, the highest shoot formation ratio was observed on MS medium containing $1\;{mg/L}$ 2,4-D and $1\;{mg/L}$ BA. Embryogenic callus were cultured in MS liquid medium containing $1\;\ccal{mg/L}$ of 2,4-D and $1\;\cal{mg/L}$ BA. The suspension cultured cell clumps could be mass propagated. Embryogenic callus were friable, but non-embryogenic callus included a lot of moisture, hence the identification between embryogenic and non-embryogenic callus as easily achieved. When embryogenic callus as cultured on half strength of MS medium containing $1\;\cal{mg/L}$ Kinetin, shoots were induced. The whole plantlet was obtained on rooting medium containing $0.5\;\cal{mg/}$ of NAA.

This study was carried out to find the effects of plant growth regulators on callus formation, rooting and shooting from cotyledon explant in oriental me]on. Various combinations of 0.1 mg/L auxins (IAA, NAA) and 0.5, 1.0. 1.5, 2.0 mg/L cytokinins (BA, kinetin, zeatin) were treated to the MS basal medium, respectively. Callus was induced mort effectively as 2,437.0 mg (FW)/explant in MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA and 2.0 mg/L BA, but that was non-embryogenic callus as colored yellow white and broke easily. Root was induced most effectively at a frequency of 98.0% in MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0-5 mg/L kinetin. Shoots formed on cut part of vein at a frequency of 98.0% in MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L IAA and 2.0 mg/L BA, that were multiple shoots. in case of its concentration, BA and lower concentration of IAA and NAA (0.01 and 0.05 mg/L). respectively. shooting ratio was not increased. The result of treatment with BA 0-5 mg/L and IAA 0.1 mg/L, callus induced at a week, and shoot start to form multiple shoots about 3 weeks after inoculation. After 2 times subculture as 2 weeks intervals, divided shoots rooted and developed into intact plantlets at 10 weeks and then that grown normally on pots after acclimatization.

The leaf mesophyll protoplasts of Populus alba ${\times}$ glandulosa were isolated from leaf of plantlet in vitro and cultured for plant regeneration. The MS medium (minus $NH_4NO_3$) with 0.5 mg/l BAP and 2.0 mg/l 2, 4-D showed the moderate frequency of dividing protoplasts cultured by the liquid plating method during the first week of culture. The percentage of colony formation was revealed the highest frequency by the gauze contained semi-solid agar plating method after 5 weeks cultured. Ridding out the gauze, the micro-callus was formed on the same semi-solid medium in 8 weeks after protoplasts culture. For proliferation of callus, mini-callus was transferred on the MS solid medium with 0.5 mg/l 2, 4-D and 0.1 mg/l BAP 12 weeks after culture. Shoot regeneration occurred when the calli derived from protoplasts were cultured on MS medium with 1.0 mg/l zeatin and such shoots could be readily rooted on the one half strengthen MS medium with non-phytohormone. Rooting shoots were planted in green-house 22 weeks after protoplast culture.

Researches on mineral nutrition, physiology and phyrsiological diseases, . cultivaction methods. brceding. pest control quality management and extension during 1976-1995 in Korea were reviewed Review in brceding and pest control was restricted to the researches directely related to cultivaction. Mineral nulrient up take. partion and varicos factors such as top dreasing. Light intersity etc. and interrelationship between minerals were investigated. Top dressing was not effective due to low minera1 requorement Physiological characteristics on tempelature light and water were well elucidated and applied to assess traditional cultivation method and its inovation. Photosyrnthetic pigments. light harvest proteins and activity of related enzymes were studied. In nitrogen metabolism arginine, praline, ammonium, threonine appeared to have important role in re growth of shoot Saponin metabolism was studied in relation to growth and new ginsenosides were found but physiological role of saponin was not clearly elucidated yet Endogenous growth regulators were reported and various erogenous growth regulators were studied for growth stimulation. short stem and seed pruning etc. Various physiological diseases were investigated for cause and control measures were established. Water culture was little studied Forest culture was studied but not retched the recommendable stage Drip irrigation straw mulching. seasonal shading and soil preparation method including soil fertility adjustment were established for practical application. Shading materials completely changed to polyethylene net and materials of polymers The research on ginseng cultivation in paddy field opened the way to establish the permanent ginseng cultivation plantation Ginseng harvester and seeder were developed in the late 1950s. Transplanted and many other machines were developed in the early 1990s. In ginseng breeding only pure line selection was of practical significance several verities were at the stage of seed propagation at ginseng plantations. Mutation breeding (${\gamma}$-ray. X-ray chemicals) was not successful. The research on plantlet formation through tissue culture was a little progressed but still far behind to vegetative propagation. Disease control research was concentrated in the isolation and identification of pathogans. their ecological charactelistics and biological control and soil humigation. Potato root rot nematodes was found and control method was established. Insect and small animal control research was greatly progresses in identification, ecological investigation, and ecological and physical control. Weed control was less important due to the development of mulching method of ridge and ditch. Quality factors of raw ginseng in relation to red ginseng process were extensively studied. Traditional quality measures were elucidated in accordance with modern analytical chemistry resulting in the importance of peptides in the centrat part rather than ginsenosides For large root production growth promoting rootzone micrcorganisms (PGPRM) were isolated and active compounds were identified. Field test on PGPRM was on going. Varictus methods formality improvement through cultivation were developed. Management research of ginseng production was rare Extension was active throuch official and private organizations and through workshop for the extension specialists, and direct lectures to grower's. Extension services made the researcher to understand the existing problems at grower's fields. Research environment for ginseng production was in prime time only for three years when Korea Ginseng Research Institute was established then gradually aggravated.

The embryos of Pinus taeda, P. rigida, and P. taeda ${\times}$ rigida were cultured for adventitious shoot regeneration in vitro. Culture media were modified from Gresshoff and Doy (MGD), Murashige and Skoog (MMS), Lloyd and McCown (MLM), and Schenk and Hildebrandt (MSH). NAA was added to initiation media at a concentration of 0.1 or 0.01 mg/l. BAP was used at the concentrations of 0.1. 0.5, 1, 2, or 5mg/l. Each explant was induced for 3-4 weeks on solid medium. All explants were cultured up to 16 weeks. Illumination was about $1506{\pm}540lux$ at the level of the tissues in the growth room with a temperature of $25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. A 16-hour photoperiod per 24 hours was used. Half-strength medium was used for all the subcultures. For shoot production by loblolly pine, MMS, MLM, or MSH is preferred with 5 mg/l BAP with either 0.1 or 0.01 mg/l NAA. For shoot production by pitch pine, MMS, MLM, or MSH is recommended with 2 or 5 mg/l BAP with 0.1 mg/l NAA. For shoot production by the hybrid pine, MMS or MLM is more effective with 1, 2 or 5 mg/l BAP with 0.1 mg/l NAA. There were no differences recognized among the species tried in the patterns of bud formation and shoot development. Different composition of media, in major and minor salts or possibly in vitamins, should be tested for the two developmental stages of adventitious shoots ; the induction of shoot buds and the elongation of them into shoots.

The objective of this study was to determine the most effective medium condition of shoot proliferation and root formation for the efficient in vitro micropropagation of M.26 (Malus pumila Mill). Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of micro-propagated and greenhouse grown M.26. Shoot proliferation was carried out in MS (Murashige and Skoog) containing benzyladenin (BA, $0.5{\sim}5.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) and thidiazuron (TDZ, $0.01{\sim}0.1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$). The highest number of shoots (10.67 shoots per explant) was induced by adding BA at a concentration $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. TDZ treatments caused higher hyperhydricity rate in cultured explants than in BA treatments. There was no significant effect of both BA and auxin on shoot proliferation, and the optimum proliferation medium for M.26 was MS medium containing $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA. To find a suitable medium composition for shoot rooting, we tested different concentrations indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and ${\alpha}$-naphthaleneacetic acid ($0.5{\sim}5.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$), MS medium (1/4-1), sucrose ($0{\sim}30g{\cdot}L^{-1}$). The shoots showed good rooting on half-strength MS medium containing $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IBA and $15-20g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ sucrose. The rooting rate (100%), number of roots (10.45 ~ 13.60 roots per explant), root length (7.41 ~ 8.33 cm), and shoot length (4.93 ~ 5.38 cm) were good on this medium. Fifteen SSR primers were detected in a total of 30 alleles in 20 micro-propagated plantlets, all SSR profiles from micro-propagated plantlets were monomorphic and similar to greenhouse grown control plantlet M.26 plant. The results indicated that M.26 micro-propagated plantlets were genetically stable.
