This experiment had been conducted to determine optimal culture conditions for the growth and cut flowers of Calla (Zantedeschia 'Black Magic' 'Golden Affair') in highlands. Tubers of calla 'Black Magic' was treated with 0, 100, and $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ concentration of $GA_3$. ABA content in tubers and roots were twice higher ($20-25pmol{\cdot}mL^{-1}$) in control than in $GA_3$ treated tubers and roots. ABA contents in tubers was not consistent but ABA contents in roots increased with increasing $GA_3$ concentration. However ABA is in inverse proportion to GA. It was mean that GA of high contents was ABA of low contents. Calla 'Golden Affair' was treated with different mulching materials (Control, black PE, Reflective film, Rice hull) and $GA_3$ concentrations (0, 50, 100 and $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$). It was largest in the length of flower at mulching of reflective film, Rice hull and it was greatest in the number of cut flowers at the treated with $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $GA_3$, Therefore the proper condition was at $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $GA_3$ with reflective film mulching.

This experiment was carried out to determine optimal culture conditions for the production of tubers of Calla (Zantedeschia elliottiana 'Golden Affair' and 'Black Magic') in Korea highland. In vitro produced plantlets and tuberlets of Calla 'Golden Affair' and 'Black Magic' were planted plastic film greenhouse and grown for 100, 120, 140 days, with different night temperature treatments ($0{\sim}10^{\circ}C$ : no heating, 10, $15^{\circ}C$). In both cultivars, tuber size(tuber diameter, tuber height) and tuber weight increased with increasing cultivation period when the night temperature was maintained at $10^{\circ}C$. The largest tuber diameter in vitro produced plantlets was 5.8cm in 'Black Magic' and 3.2cm in 'Golden Affair', and daily tuber growth rate was 1.110g in 'Black Magic' and 0.092g in 'Golden Affair' under the culture conditions. Consequently we think that tuber harvest date was Oct. 30 and night temperature was $10^{\circ}C$ and no heating that was proper method of tuber production. However we had selection of $10^{\circ}C$ treatment for tuber production because it appeared freezing damage occasionally in highland late in October.

This experiment was conducted to propagate Zantedeschia spp. in vitro. The frequency of adventitious bud clusters (ABC) formation from shoot tips in Z. 'Best Gold' was high at more than 65% on media with 2.0∼5.0 mg/L BA or 0.1∼1.0 mg/L thidiazuron. The highest formation rate of ABC (75%) was obtained on medium containing 2.0 mg/L BA. Comparing to treatment of BA alone, combined one of BA and NAA did not stimulate the formation of ABC and the shoot regeneration from shoot tips. The proliferation of ABC from sections (0.7∼1.0 cm) of ABC occurred effective on medium with 2.0 mg/L BA. Shoots developed from the sections (0.7∼1.0 cm) of ABC grew and rooted favorably on media containing 1.0∼2,0 mg/L IBA. The shoots were multiplicated effectively on medium with 0.5 mg/L thidiazuron in Z. 'Childsiana', on medium with 3.0 mg/L BA in 2. 'Golden Affair', and on medium with 5.0∼10.0 mg/L BA in Z. 'Pacific Pink'.

This experiment was carried out to determine optimal culture conditions for the production of cut flowers and tubers of Calla (Zantedeschia 'Black Magic') in highlands. To achieve the research purpose, growth of 'Black Magic' Calla influenced by tuber hardness (3.3 and $6.0kg/cm^2$), $GA_3$ concentration (0, 100 and $200mgL^{-1}$), duration of $GA_3$ treatment (24 hr, 12 hr and 30min before planting) were investigated. When tubers have high hardness, those were not severely injured by soft rot disease regardless of $GA_3$ concentrations and treatment durations. Tubers with low tuber hardness showed more than 90% of soft rot occurrence when treated with $200mgL^{-1}$ $GA_3$ for 24 hrs before planting. However, soft rot did not occur when tubers were treated with $200mgL^{-1}$ $GA_3$ for 12 hrs before planting. In conclusion, $GA_3$ treatment results showed soft rot occurrence statistically significant degree in accordance with the bulbs hardness. In addition, the yield of the cut flowers is the result received the greatest effect in accordance with the bulbs in size and appeared to not be determined in accordance with the $GA_3$ treatment concentration and hardness bulbs. To obtain flowers without soft rot symptom, tubers (as $6.0kg/cm^2$) should be completely dried after $GA_3$ treatment.

In order to investigate the effects of developmental stage of embryos and plant growth regulators on mass production of Zantedeschia spp. Southern Light, immature zygotic embryos of Zantedeschia spp. Southern Light were cultured on Murashige and Skoog(1962) basal media or containing 2,4-D, NAA and BA. Globular embryos did not grow on any of the 2,4-D, NAA and BA combinations. The most suitable stage of immature zygotic embryo culture on the induction callus and multiple shoot was at early cotyledonary embryo stage, and at this stage of embryos were germinated up to 87.5%. The whitish watery callus and yellowish compact nodular callus produced on all 2,4-D, NAA and BA media. The best combination for inducing embryogenic callus was 0.5 mgL NAA and 1.0 mg/L BA. Whitish watery calli have been subcultured for more than 8 months and have retained their producing ability, Plant regeneration was only obtained by direct shoot development and yellowish compact nodular calli. Abundant plantlets were regenerated from cotyledonary stage of embryo culture on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L NAA and 1.0 mg/L BA. Supplementation of the media with 10％ coconut water showed as the best concentration for plant differentiation from direct developed of shoots. The number of regenerated plants from one embryo could be seperated 25-35s plantlets. All yellowish compact callus-derived plantlets were transferred to pots containing a mixture of vermiculite, perlite and sand(1:1;1 v/v) and 100% of divided plantlets were phenotypically normal.

This experiment has been carried out to determine optimal culture conditions for the production of cut flowers and tubers of Calla (Zantedeschia 'Golden Affair' and 'Black Magic') in highlands. Treatments consisted of various levels of root zone environments, Results are as follows: Calla 'Golden Affair' were grown with different mulching materials such as Non-mulching, Black film, reflective film, Rice hull. Mulching materials resulted in no difference in the number of cut flowers but flower length was highest in reflective film. Calla 'Black Magic' were treated with various soil water content, soil type and watering time. Number of cut flowers and flower quality were greatest when the plants were watered at -80 kPa soil water content. No symptoms of soft rot (Erwinia carotovora) was observed at this soil water content. The occurrence of soft rot was observed with similar percentage according to soil type and the soil water content. When Calla 'Black Magic' were watered at the time of soil surface drying, growth was greater compared to others. Air temperature and PPF affected plant growth and photosynthesis. Photosynthetic rate was greatest at $25^{\circ}C$ and PPF $200{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, while lowest at $28^{\circ}C$ and PPF $800{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Soft rot did not occur without regard to dipping treatment (0, 5, 10, 24, 48 hours) when the day and night temperature were maintained at $25^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Objective of this Research was to determine the influence of foliar application of $CaCl_2$ or $K_2SI_2O_5$ and soil application of $CaCO_3$ or $SiO_2$ on growth and cut flower quality of Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Wedding March'. To achieve this, $CaCl_2$ or $K_2SI_2O_5$ were applied at six leaf stage with the concentration of 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2% and $CaCO_3$ or $SiO_2$ were applied as basal fertilization with the amount of 100, 200, 400kg per 10a or 50, 100, 200, 400kg per 10a respectively. Plant material was used Zantedeschia aethiopica 'Wedding March'. Among calcium chloride($CaCl_2$) and calcium carbonate($CaCO_3$), calcium chloride foliar application was more effective than calcium carbonate with basal fertilization to growth of common calla 'Wedding March'. In the 0.1% solution foliar application of calcium chloride, plant height, leaf length and length of cut-flower was more longer than control. Length of leaf petiole was more longer and leaf fresh weight was more heavier than control. The degree of petiole hardness was more effective in the 0.1% solution calcium chloride foliar application than any other treatment. In the silicate fertilization treatment, plant height of 50kg per 10a treatment was most highest as 73.9cm. also its length of leaf petiole and leaf fresh weight was more effective than any other treatment. The hardness of petiole was better in the 50kg per 10a silicate fertilizer treatment. The cell shape of leaf petiole was round and tissue was regular in the treatment of 0.1% calcium chloride and 50kg per 10a silicate fertilizer but the cell of control was irregular round type. Macro element content of calcium was more amount in the treatment of silicate 50kg per 10a basal fertilization. The infected ratio of Erwinia was no relation with lime and silicate fertilizer treatment. Lime fertilizer treatment is effective for growth and flowering of Calla than silicate fertilizer and the suitable concentration was 0.1%.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of plant growth regulators on the formation of adventitious bud callus(ABC) and plant regeneration in shoot tip culture of Zantedeschia spp. 'Florex Gold'. Treatment of $0.1mgL^{-1}\;N$-phenyl-N'-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-ylurea(thidiazuron, TDZ) was more promotive for formation of ABC in shoot tip culture than 6-benzylaminopurine(BA) treatment, and short shoots were developed. Comparing to treatment of BA, mixing treatment of BA and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid(NAA) inhibited the formation of ABC and multiple shoot. The proliferation of ABC derived from sections(0.3 cm) of ABC produced by shoot tip culture in medium supplemented with $0.1mgL^{-1}\;TDZ$ was more effective in medium with $0.1mgL^{-1}\;TDZ$ or $2.0mgL^{-1}\;BA$ than the other treatments. The shoot regeneration and growth from sections of ABC was more promotive in treatment of $0.001mgL^{-1}\;TDZ$. Also, the root growth from sections of ABC was better in medium with $0.001mgL^{-1}\;TDZ$ or $0.2mgL^{-1}\;BA$. Consequently, in vitro mass production of Zantedeschia spp. 'Florex Gold' can be obtained via indirect organogenesis through plant regeneration and proliferation of ABC which was derived from shoot tip culture at $0.1mgL^{-1}\;TDZ$.

A filamentous virus was isolated from taro (Colocasia esculenta Schott) showing mosaic and chlorotic feather-ing symptoms in Chuncheon, Gangwon province in 2002. Based on ELISA, its appearance in electron microscope, serological relationships, and RT-PCR using specific primer and nucleotide sequence analysis of the CP gene, the isolated virus was identified as Dasheen mosaic virus (DsMV) and designated as Korean isolated (DsMV-Kr). DsMV was not serologically related to Zantedeschia mosaic virus (ZaMV), which has been reported to infect an Araceae plants. Since the coat protein revealed electrophoretic heterogeneity, about 42 kDa, 39 kDa and 31 kDa by SDS-PAGE, an improved purification method was established for the production of antisera against DsMV-Kr. The purification method used in this study may be effectively applied to the purification of other filamentous viruses.
