The in vitro regeneration was established, and the genetic stability among the mother plants (control) and the micropropagated green plants was evaluated using ISSR markers in Imperata cylindrica 'Rubra', Poaceae which containing important bioenergy plants. Green shoots were multiply induced from growing point culture via callus on MS medium supplemented with 0.01 mg/L NAA and 2 mg/L BA, and the shoots were proliferated on the MS medium with rooting. Rooted plantlets were transplanted to the pot with 100% survival rate. Using ISSR markers, somaclonal variation was analyzed in eight mother plants (control), ten green-regenerant cultivated at culture room (ReR) and ten green-regenerant cultivated at field condition (ReF). All ISSRs produced a total of 97 bands, and the scorable bands varied from one to seven with an average of 4.4 bands per primer. The polymorphism rate of ReRs and ReFs was 4.1% and 3.1% respectively, showing higher rate than that of control (0%). The genetic similarity matrix (GSM) among all accessions ranged from 0.919 to 1.0 with a mean of 0.972. According to the clustering analysis, ReFs and mother plants were divided into two independent groups. The results indicate that no clear genetic diversity was detected among regenerated plants, and ISSR markers were useful tool for identification of somaclonal variation of regenerants.

Anaerobic soils limit the amount of free oxygen available in the rhizosphere and therefore will impede grass root development and restrain nutrient availability for turf growth. An in-situ study was conducted on existing greens to investigate the relationship between $CO_2$ content in the rhizosphere and turf quality. Nine greens were selected in the study. On each green, five 1-m diameter circular plots were randomly selected for conducting the experiment. The greens were sampled 7 times from August, 1998 to August, 1999. Data collected from each plot included turf quality index, $CO_2$ content, and physical properties of the rooting mixtures. Turf quality declined drastically when $CO_2$ content in rhizosphere increased to $5\;to\;6{\mu}LL^{-1}$ during the late summer season. The $CO_2$ content increased as water content in the root zone increased, but was inversely related to infiltration rate. Cultivation of a golf green may reduce $CO_2$ content in the rhizosphere, but the benefit of cultivation decreased with time.

In order to establish a micropropagation system for buffalo gourd (Cucurbita foetidissima ) and common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), the effects of several plant growth regulators and culture temperature on shoot multiplication and rooting were investigated. In buffalo gourd, the greatest number of shoot from shoot tip culture and well growth of formed shoot were obtained on the MIS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.3 or 0.6 mg/L IAA. Whereas kinetin and 2iP were not effective for shoot multiplication in vitro. It was found that 22$^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ were suitable for shoot multiplication. Roots were easily formed by the addition of auxins, especially 1.0 or 2.0 mg/L IBA and 2.0 mg/L IAA. Over 90% of plants survived successfully after being transferred into the field. In common milkweed, BA was more effective than kinetin or 2iP for its micropropagation in vitro. The increased shoot weight and number of nodes per shoot were obtained on the medium containing 3.0 mg/L BA and 0.3 or 0.6 mg/L IAA. But 2iP promoted the shoot elongation. In addition. common milkweed was sensitive to culture temperature in vitro. Temperature around 22$^{\circ}C$ was favorable for shoot multiplication and growth, whereas temperature higher than $25^{\circ}C$ usually reduced the rate of shoot survival rate.

This experiments were conducted to determine the effect of thidiazuron on forming tuberlets and plant regeneration of Pinellia ternata T. by tissue culture. The addition of $5\;{\mu}M$ TDZ to the medium had better regeneration than that of any other treatments of NAA and TDZ. At the combination treatments of NAA and TDZ, as the level of thidiazuron increased, the rate of shoot regeneration was incresed while the increment of NAA concentration inhibited the rate of shoot regeneration. The supplement of $5\;{\mu}M$ thidiazuron produced the best number of micro-tubers per explant and the number of micro-tuber formed was 25 in MS medium and 29 in MG medium on 30 day culture, respectively. Microtuber formation was the best on MG medium with 1.0 mg/l NAA and $5\;{\mu}M$ thidiazuron. MG medium was superior to MS and B5 medium for the growth of tuberlets. Half strength of MS medium with NAA 2 mg/l was the most effective for root formation. Rooting ability on nursery soil of plantlets produced in in vjtro was good as a 80% after 3 weeks.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of oxadiazon, molinate, thiobencarb before seeding on control of red rice and barnyardgrass in water-seeded rice. High application rate plot among oxadiazon treatment plots could observe phytotoxicity symptoms depending on field conditions, but these injury recovered gradually with time. Molinate and thiobencarb application plots at the concentration of 225~400, 210~420g ai/l0a respectively were not observed phytotoxicity. Control of red rice was different according to kinds of herbicides and application rates. Oxadiazon showed higher control performance at the concentration of more than 60g ai/10a. Control effect of molinate and thiobencarb against red rice was enhanced with the increase of application rate, and both herbicides showed satisfactory effect at more than 300g ai/10a. Control of barnyardgrass showed up to 90~100% in all tested herbicides. There was no significant yield reduction by oxadiazon, molinate, and thiobencarb application before seeding in all tested field. In the pot experiment, crop injury, seedling stand, and early growth were more advantageous at time of drainge after one day after seeding than flooding until rooting.

This study compared the growth characteristics of A. gigas according to the transplanting season, in the cultivation located in Yeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, transplanted in the autumn and spring. As a result of that the plant survival rate were observed the highest autumn transplanting (9.4%; autumn-92.2%, spring-82.8%) and bolting rate were observed lowest spring transplanting (7.1%; autumn-37.3%, spring-30.2%). Growth characteristics (height, leaf length and width, stem diameter) were observed the highest autumn transplanting in June and highest spring transplanting in August. The early growth is high growth due to long rooting time in autumn transplanting, but the difference in the ground growth between the two experiments was insignificant when the main growth period was from June to August. Further analysis of the growth characteristics and marker components of roots of A. gigas can be used to determine the optimal planting time and the establishment of high quality cultivation technology.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the suitable parts for callus induction and optimal concentrations of growth regulators contained in the medium affecting shoot and rooting for the in vitro mass production of Haworthia maughanii. To determine suitable parts of the plant for callus induction, the leaves, flower bloom and flower stalks were cultured in MS medium at different concentrations of $0{\sim}2mgL^{-1}$ NAA and $0{\sim}2mgL^{-1}$ TDZ, respectively. All of the parts showed 100% callus formation rate at $NAA\;1mgL^{-1}$ and $TDZ\;1mgL^{-1}$ treatment, $NAA\;2mgL^{-1}$ and $TDZ\;2mgL^{-1}$ treatment and NAA 1 to $2mgL^{-1}$, respectively. While the rate of callus formation was high in all parts, the leaves were the most efficient to obtain most culture parts. $NAA\;0.1mg\;L^{-1}$ and $BA\;0.1mg\;L^{-1}$ treatments were the most effective in shoot formation with 22.0 shoots. In addition, multiple shoot propagation showed 16.3 shoots, the highest, with $NAA\;0.1mg\;L^{-1}$ and $BA\;0.1mg\;L^{-1}$ treatments. These results led us to speculate that the optimization of culture conditions was responsible for the mass propagation for in vitro cultures of Haworthia maughanii.

Plant cells have a totipotencial capacity, the ability of each cell to produce a new complete individual through development. By applying this, several technologies are being developed for widespread application of somatic embryogenesis by processing hormones in vitro as a method of propagation of plants. In order to use this technology, in Kalanchoe pinnata, a plant capable of asexual reproduction with more regular cell division, kinetin belonging to cytokinin and picloram among hormones belonging to auxin were added in combination and treated for 8 weeks, and then the typical performance was evaluated. As a result of our experiment, the rooting effect in leaf slices showed a 70% incidence rate at a picloram concentration of 0.1 mg/L. It has been proven that a concentration difference of 1:5-1:10 in the ratio of kinetin and picloram is effective. It is the experimental result that the effect of auxin is essential for the development of Kalanchoe roots. As for the effect of shooting, the incidence rate was 60% at the picloram concentration of 0.5 mg/L. The kinetin concentration from 0.5 and 1.0 mg/L and has a significant effect on development. It has been proven that the ratio of kinetin to picloram is effective with a concentration difference of 1:1-1:2. These results show that the combination of cytokinin and auxin is crucially important for shooting. It is thought that it can be the basis of a technology for inducing mass proliferation in vitro by inducing direct organogenesis with a combination of hormones.

The metalaxyl seed-soaking treatment markedly increased the root-mat formation of the young rice seedling(8- to l0-day-old) for machine transplanting. This experiment was conducted to find out a possible rooting mechanism of the young rice seedling in relation to the exogenous metalaxyl seed-soaking treatment. The rice seeds of Hwaseongbyeo variety were soaked in the solution of metalaxyl for 24 hours at room temperature. Metalaxyl(25% wettable powder), a fungicide, was used at the concentration of 200ppm as a promoting substance on the root-mat formation of the young rice seedling. Seeding rate of the young rice seedling was 220g per seed tray(30${\times}$60${\times}$depth 3cm). Metalaxyl seed treatment was highly effective in root initiation and elongation of the young rice seedling in terms of root activity, the number and length of root, and amino acid content of roots. The exogenous metalaxyl application would also increase the chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate in the young rice seedling. Those factors resulted in vigorous root-mat formation of the young rice seedling. In particular, alanine is a lead compound of metalaxyl which biochemically plays an important role in energy intermediate of the rice plant. Alanine conjugation with a glucose (N-${\beta}$-glucoside) is probably the mechanism in enhancement of initiation and elongation of rice roots of young rice seedling.

This study conducted an experiment to clarify the effect of rubber bands used as a root connector during the process of transplanting landscape trees on the development of the root system and the rooting process. The research period was four years, from April 2007 to April 2011, and the test conducted for this study was performed at the experimental field located at 398-2 Bangdong-ri, Sacheon-myeon, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do. Twenty 15-year-old Pinus densiflora Siebold & Zucc. with good growth conditions were harvested and transplanted from the forest in Jebi-ri, Gujeong-myeon, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do for the field experiment. A completely randomized design was applied for plot design, with 10 pines without rubber bands and 10 pines with rubber bands. Pinus densiflora for. multicaulis Uyeki was selected as the official tree of the pot test and was planted in a transparent pot to observe the development of the root system. A completely randomized design was applied for plot design, with 3 pines without rubber bands and 3 pines with rubber bands. The results of this research on the effect of rubber bands used as a root connector on root system development and the rooting process are as follows. 1. The rate of height growth in the field test was 4.1% lower in the trees with rubber bands when compared to trees without rubber bands. Trees with rubber bands were 4.2% wider than those without rubber bands in root diameter. The chlorophyll content was 6.8% higher in trees without rubber bands, but the rate of height growth, root diameter, and chlorophyll content were not significantly correlated. 2. In the comparison of fresh root weight in the field test, trees with rubber banding had roots weighing 1,740.0kg and those without rubber bands had roots weighing 1,433.3kg. Root dry weight was 522.3g in trees with rubber bands and 450.0g in those without rubber bands, but showed no significant difference depending on whether the rubber band was attached. 3. In a comparison of root number between surfaces touching and not touching the rubber band in trees with rubber banding, the surface touching the rubber band was observed to have more roots growing, the difference of which was deemed significant. 4. The shoot growth rate in the pot test was 1.1% higher in trees without rubber bands when compared with trees with rubber bands. The chlorophyll content was 0.02 higher in trees with rubber bands but the difference was not significant. 5. In the pot test, no significance was found in comparison of root number, root length, and root dry weight in trees with and without rubber bands. These test results imply that removing rubber bands as a connector does not present any significant effects on the ground growth or root development of transplanted pine trees. As it is shown that surface touching rubber bands grow more roots in trees with rubber bands, more active related research must be undertaken.
