This experiment was conducted to identify the optimal in vitro propagation condition of Cnidii rhizoma (Cnidium officinale Makino). It was effective to reduce contamination and improve regeneration of shoot when shoot tips taken in July were cultured in 1/2 strength Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 500 mg/L carbenicillin disodium 1.0 mg/L BA and 1.0mg/L $GA_3$followed by surface sterilization of explant source in solution of 1% sodium hypochlorite for 20 minutes. When shoot tips were 쳐cultured in 1/2 strength MS medium with 0.5 mg/L BA and 60 g/L sucrose, shoot elogation and subsequent multiplication of the formed shoot were favorable than in other media. Regenerants were well rooted in 1/2 strength MS medium containing 3.0 mg/L NAA.

Root and shoot development of two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars with different genetic backgrounds was studied with reference to their relative growth. Tongil type (indica-japonica hybrid) cultivar 'Kuemkangbyeo' and japonica cultivar 'Koshihikari' were grown in $5000^{-1}$ a Wagnar pots under flooded condition. Three plants with roots of both cultivars were taken in every phyllochron through the heading stage to record morphological characteristics of shoot and root system. Compared to Koshihikari, Kuemkangbyeo produced more tillers and had greater shoot weight and leaf area per hill. Length and weight of the root system in both cultivars increased exponentially with time. At the same time, root system development was significantly faster in Kuemkangbyeo than in Koshihikari after the panicle initiation stage. As a result, Kuemkangbyeo has a vigorous root system which consists of larger number of nodal roots compared to Koshihikari. Also, the root length and weight per unit leaf area of Kuemkangbyeo were larger than those of Koshihikari in the later half of growing period, which suggests possible higher physiological activity of the root system of Kuemkangbyeo which is known as a high-yielding cultivar. The relationship between root traits (crown root number, total root length, and root dry weight) and shoot traits (leaf area and leaf+culm dry weight) in both cultivars closely showed allometry until the flag leaf stage.

To study the capacity of callus and shoot formation on seedling stage in soybean, excised hypocotyl, epicotyl, shoot tip, cotyledonary node and primary leaf were cultured on artificial media (MS and B$_{5}$ medium) supplemented with several hormones. Regeneration of shoots was fairly successful from shoot tip and cotyledonary node tissues in soybean. These shoots could be rooted in vitro through tissue culture technique and transplanted normally into soil. Hypocotyl and epicotyl tissues formed only callus, of which growth and appearance were different according to the kinds of media and additives. A small number of shoots were formed from primary leaf tissues, but they did not develop further.r.

The effects of sucrose concentration and nitrogen source on shoot growth and in vitro formation of garlic (Allium sativum L. cv Seosan) bulblet were investigated in order to systematize propagation of high quality garlic through a shoot apical meristem culture. Shoot differentiation was not affected by sucrose concentration and nitrogen source, but plantlets which contain medium of NH$_4$- N or NH$_4$ + NO$_3$ were vigorous and healthy in .appearance. Shoot growth was vigorous in changeing of nitrogen source. The best quality of in vitro bulblets was obtained in culture on the medium containing 8% sucrose and NH$_4$ - N, and the formation of bulblet was more effective when plantlets were subjected to cold treatment before use. NH$_4$-N was a major factor for shoot growth and bulblet development, but NO$_3$-N was not and suppressed $K^{+}$absorption. The level of ethylene production was not affected by different nitrogen sources, however this production was enhanced in medium containing a higher concentration of sucrose.e.

Swertia chirata is an endangered gentian species that prefers to grow at higher altitudes. This ethnomedicinal herb is known primarily for its bitter taste caused by the presence of important phytochemicals that are directly associated with human health benefits. Due to a continuous loss of habitat and inherent problems of seed viability and seed germination, alternative strategies for propagation and conservation are urgently required to prevent the possible extinction of this species. We have formulated a reproducible protocol for the rapid propagation and conservation of this plant using leaves taken from in vitro shoot cultures. Direct induction of more than seven shoot buds per explant was achieved for the first time when the explants were placed on MS medium supplemented with $2.22{\mu}M$ N-6-benzyladenine, $11.6{\mu}M$ kinetin, and $0.5{\mu}M$ ${\alpha}-naphthalene$ acetic acid. Direct organogenesis was noted exclusively from the adaxial surface of the basal segments of leaves. Leaves closer to the apical meristem were more responsive than those farther away from the meristem. Plants raised through direct organogenesis were evaluated for their clonal fidelity by chromosomal analysis and DNA fingerprinting. Complete plants were successfully transferred to the field condition and produced viable seeds. Given the enormous potential of this age-old medicinal plant in terms of potential health-benefitting drugs, this protocol can be used for commercial propagation purposes and to initiate future genetic improvement studies.

This study was conducted to establish practical micropropagation of jujube cultivars ('Geumsumg', 'Bokjo') by axillary bud culture. The results are summerized as follows : 1. Addition of activated charcoal to half-strength Murashige and Skoog(MS) medium supplemented with 0.5mg/l benzylaminopurine(BAP) enhanced shoot and root growth. At 500mg/l activated charcoal level 'Geumsung' showed best result, and shoot length and the number of multiple shoot were 6.4cm and 10.0, respectively. At 1,000mg/l activated charcoal level 'Bokjo showed best result, and shoot length and the number of multiple shoot were 7.5cm and 12.4, respectively. 2. As indole-3-butyric acid(IBA) concentration increased, rooting and callus growth of microshoot were enhanced. The optimum IBA concentration for shoot elongation and multiplication was 1.0mg/l. 3. Growth responses of shoot-tip and axillary bud segments between two jujube cultivars were different. 'Geumsung' showed that axillary bud explants were about twice better than shoot-tip explants for shoot multiplication, but 'Bokjo' showed that shoot-tip explants mere better than axillary bud explants for shoot elongation and multiplication. 4. In acclimatization processes of plantlets produced in vitro, the survival of plantlets with only root primordia in soil medium was better than that of plantlets with several routs resulting in 97.8%. 5. In cutting of in vitro-derived microshoot, paclobutrazol was more effective than IBA, naphth-aleneacetic acid(NAA) and $Rooton^{(R)}$ in rooting and root growth.

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.

The present study aims to analyze kickers' strategic actions for finishing in penalty shoot-outs among youth soccer players ultimately to increase success rates of shoot-outs and to score a victory. Subjects were experienced 271 soccer players attending high schools located around the capital area. To determine any difference in strategic actions for finishing in penalty shoot-outs among the subjects, frequency analysis or chi-square was used for the analysis. The analysis found the following points: First, the success or failure rates of kickers in penalty shoot-outs were found to depend on subjects' experiences as soccer players. Second, in terms of kickers' shooting qualities, they were found to shoot on goal regardless of shooting positions. Third, an important factor to enhance the shoot-outs probability was found to be a strategic action through the eyes. Fourth, in view of the strategic actions prior to kickers' shooting, goalies were found to check out kickers' positions first and estimate the directions and qualities of shooting via kickers' body actions and eye lines.

An efficient regeneration system was established by using in vitro plantlets of germinated seedlings from different cultivars of lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. Chongchima, Chongchuckmyun, Jeokchima, Jeokchuckmyun). Shoot formation were observed from all cultivars on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L BA. In all cultivars, when cotyledon was cultured, the number of shoot per explant was more greater than that hypocotyl and leaf disc were cultured. Shoot formation rate (91.7%) was high in a cotyledon culture of cultivar, Chongchukmyun. The growth of multiple shoots derived from the cultivar, Chongchukmyun, was most effective on medium containing 0.5 mg/L BA and 1.0 mg/L GA$_3$. When shoots were transferred on MS medium without plant growth regulators, roots were effectively differentiated. Rooted plantlets were acclimated on pots for further propagation.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has been the focus of a lot of research due to its safety and convenience. The Z-source inverter (ZSI) was introduced into WPT systems to realize improved system performance. The ZSI regulates the dc-rail voltage in WPT systems without front-end converters and makes the inverter bridge immune to shoot-through states. However, when the WPT system is combined with a ZSI, the system parameters must be configured to prevent the ZSI from entering an "accidental shoot-through" (AST) state. This state can increase the THD and decrease system power and efficiency. This paper presents a mathematical analysis for the characteristics of a WPT system and a ZSI while addressing the causes of the AST state. To deal with this issue, the impact of the system parameters on the output are analyzed under two control algorithms and the primary compensation capacitance range is derived in detail. To validate the analysis, both simulations and experiments are carried out and the obtained results are presented.
