Experiments were conducted to study the effect of auxins and cultural factors on rooting characteristics in offshoots cutting of Aloe vera. The result obtained were as follows;1. Short offshoots(15-20cm) with rhizome had more roots than that of the removed rhizome, while long offshoots(25-30cm) without rhizome had more roots and heavier root dry weight than short offshoots with rhizome. The highest rooting ability occured when IBA treated 500mg per liter in short offshoots with rhizome, whereas long offshoots without rhizome showed higher rooting ability at the level of 1,000mg/l of IBA and 200mg/I of NAA2. Among three kinds of anxin treated, both IBA and NAA showed better rooting ability than ethychlozate. Root number, root length and root dry weight were higher at 10 min. dipping treatment of IBA 500mg/I for short off-shoots without rhizome and 10 min. dipping treatment of IBA 1,000mg/l for long offshoots with rhizome. Rooting ability of long offshoots was higher than that of short offshoots.3. In addition to IBA 1,000mg/l, 7-day dryness under shading condition increased root number and dry weight of root in offshoots without rhizome. Control treatment lengthened root by increasing drying period under the shading condition.4. The plain soil with mamure had not only higher root dofferentiation but higher root growth of offshoots cutting than the artificial soil.5. Rooting ability in offshoots cutting had a tendency increasing with decrease in shading percentage to natural. Black color poly ethylene film mulching had better rooting ablility than transparency poly ethlene film mulching in offshoots cutting.

The hardwood cutting of Hibiscus syriacus was studied by using 54 different cultivars. In the evaluation of rooting ability and shoot growth, there were much differences between cultivars or groups classified by flower types. The outstanding rooting ability was found in cultivars such as 'Comte de Haimont', 'Hanol-tanshim', 'Hyangdan', 'Nabora', 'Saimdang', whereas 'Ilpyontanshim', 'Lucy', 'Paedal', 'Sohoyang' and other several cultivars showed poor characteristics in their rooting. The longest shoot was observed in 'Hanoltanshim', 'Kreider Blue', 'Nabora', 'New Hamabo', 'Nunbora', while 'Chossarang', 'Lucy', 'Shintaeyang', 'Youngkwang', etc. showed very short shoots. As a result of comparison among three different flower types, semi-doubled flower type showed the most extent of rooting ability and shoot growth.

To investigate the practicality of a small scale softwood propagation plastic film tent and the rooting promoting effect of indole-3-butyric acid(IBA) for northern highbush blueberry, softwood cuttings of 3 varieties (Duke, Elizabeth, Elliot) were made after dipping in the IBA solutions of 100ppm, 300ppm, 500ppm, 1,000ppm for 2 hour, and 3,000ppm for 20 seconds, respectively. Two-way ANOVA confirmed the significant differences in the percentage of rooting of cutting, longest root length and rooting volume index (RVI) induced by IBA treatment, as well as the percentage of rooting of cutting and RVI among examined varieties. In particular, the highly significant difference was observed in th RVI for IBA treatment. However, there was no interactions between the auxin treatments and varieties. Spontaneous rooting ability (control) depends on the varieties, showing that the lowest rooting ability was observed in the 'Duke' (45%) followed by 'Elliot'(85%) and 'Elizabeth' (90%). In addition, the rooting of the examined 3 varieties were enhanced by both of short time (20sec) dipping treatment of low level solutions, and long time (2hr) dipping treatment of high level solution, with the remarkably promoted rooting of the 'Duke' cuttings.

Experiments were conducted to study the effect of IBA, mineral stone and stem hardness on rooting characteristics in mature Aloe vera plant. The rooting ability in matured Aloe vera was of highly significance when the amount of IBA treatment was increased to 5.000mg/l. The treatment of IBA 5.000mg/l, together with mineral stone(v/w 1.5 times), gave more root number, the length and the dry weight of root were, also, higher in semihard wood cutting than soft wood cutting in matured Aloe vera.

The highest cutting ratio and the best growth performance of the P. alba, P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa and P. glandulosa were at -0.05 bars of soil water potential (${\Psi}_s$). Their growth and rooting ability of cuttings were better in suitable soil moisture contents, 19.650, but were worse in low soil moisture contents, 11.41% and 16.66%, respectively. Specially, P. alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa appeared hybrid vigor in high soil water potential (${\Psi}_s$= -0.05 bars) but not appeared it below ${\Psi}_s$ = -0.5 bars. It is believed that P. glandulosa is a natural hybrid between P. davidiana and P. alba in view of morphological characteristics. Aspen, normally, does not have the rooting ability of cuttings, however, P. glandulosa showed the rooting ability, though the ratio was low, 23%. It is estimated that this rooting ability was originated from P. alba. In addition, its growth rate was between P. alba and P. davidiana, and the sensitivity of water requirement for the growth was also really equal to P. alba. This facts prove P. glandulosa to be natural hybrid between P. alba and P. davidiana.

Most of the mulberry saplings in Korea have been produced by grafting. But the production of mulberry sapling by this method is very complex process and requires high level of technique and two years to produce saplings. Therefore, to develop the mulberry sapling production system by softwood cutting method which is suitable for mass production, several conditions on rooting and growth of cuttings were investigated. The rooting ability of cuttings varied according to mulberry varieties, showing the highest rooting ratio of 93.3% in cultivar of Shingwangppong. Of different soil texture as for rooting media, the clay was found to be the best; other media decreased in order as follows; sand, sand loam and vermiculite. The shading ratio by 70% with polyethylene film showed the highest rooting ratio of the cuttings. Optimum day of cutting was around 50th day after sprouting, whereas the ratio of stem thicker than 7mm at the base of saplings in diameter was highest at 44th day.

The apple rootstock M.26 (Malus pumila) is very popular apple rootstock with semi-dwarf habit and the trees on M.26 produce high quality fruit at a young age. Since it is prone to poor prop ability to soil, however, young trees require staking in windy locations. The rolC gene was introduced into M.26 by Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 harboring pBI121 to obtain its transformants with dwarfism and enhanced rooting ability. One regenerated transgenic line was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis and Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA for the existence of rolC gene. The characteristics of transgenic line in vitro were not significantly different from non-transgenic line except for the active root formation and lateral root number. The rolC transgenic line showed reduced stem length and increased root number in vitro. Rooting ability was examined in the isolated greenhouse after mound layering. Compared to non-transgenic M.26, rolC transgenic line showed significantly higher rooting ability. The transgenic line did not show any other observable variation in shoot phenotype compared with non-transgenic line excepting increased branching

In order to find out the basic factors governing the rooting ability of pine cutting, the rooting of cuttings of Pinus thunbergii were examined under various conditions. A total of 5 different solutions of growth hormones made up of 3-indole butyric acid, naphthalene acetic acide and rootone were employed at three different periods of year, the middle of June, the end of September and the early of December. Cuttings prepared in length of 4cm gave better results than those of control ones. Cuttings taken from the 1-0 seedlings were superior to those from the 7-year-old trees. Seasonal variation, i.e., time of collecting cutting materials, played great important role on rooting. The majority of roots were originated from the callus lamp formed at the base of cut surface.

This study was conducted to investigate the propagation characteristics of Cephalotaxus koreana by cutting, whose plant has been known to new anticancer treatments. The treatments of plant growth regulators, cutting media temperature and growing media were investigated to know the rooting ability of cuttings. For rooting formation affected by plant growth regulators and its concentration, The application of IBA 100 mg/L was most effective in all of the characteristics including rooting rate of 88.5%. The optimum media temperature by cutting was $24^{\circ}C$ (treatment IBA 100 mg/L, rooting rate 84.6%), predicting that greenwood cutting from June to July is most effective. VPPL (vermiculite+peatmoss+perlite 1:1:1(v/v/v)) showed the highest value in all of the characteristics including rooting rate of 68.5% for the effect of growing media on rooting formation.
