Hibiscus hamabo Sieb. et Zucc. (yellow hibiscus) is a deciduous semi-shrub plant and mainly growing in Jeju Island. This is known the unique wild hibiscus genus and classified as an 2nd grade of endangered plant for Korean Red List. In previous studies, properties of germination, ecological, genetical and salt resistance have been reported. In this study, we investigated mass-proliferated adventitious root using bioreactor, antioxidant and whitening effects to conduct functional ingredients. Yellow hibiscus were collected from Gujwa, Jeju by prior permission and they were introduced by explant type and various medium composition after surface sterilization. As a result, seed response rates were evaluated at range of 51.17~51.83%, in terms of comprehensive efficiency of shoot and root formation. In the case of adventitious root propagation condition was confirmed in half strength Murashige and Skoog medium salts, 30 mg/L sucrose, and 2 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid for 8 weeks in 5,000 mL bioreactor. We also compared between relationship with biomass and secondary metabolites accumulation by total phenolics content, the flavonoid content, DPPH free radical scavenging activity and melanin content. The results indicated that adventitious root mass proliferation, antioxidant and whitening effect could develop value of the high-quality cosmeceutical ingredient and further metabolite studies.

In order to establish a micropropagation system of Naricissus, the ability of bulblet regeneration among propagation materials was compared, and the adequate growth regulators and concentrations for each cultivar were investigated. The inorganic components were also assayed in the parts of propagation materials. In propagation materials, scape with based plates showed hightest rate of bulblet formation and rapid growth of formed bulblets in vitro, comparing to other parts of it. In comparing of varieties, 'Dutch Master' and 'Golden Harvest' showed a high ability for bulblet regeneration. The ability of bulblet regeneration was most favorable in the medium, supplemented with 5.0 mg/L BA and 2.5 mg/L NAA in 'Dutch Master', and 5.0 mg/L BA and 1.0mg/L NAA in 'Golden Harvest', respectively. In inorganic component analysis of propagation materials, the White part of scape contained 1.18 mg/L$P_2O_5$, 2.57 me Ca, 0.94 me Mg and 3.20 mg/L total N. It showed higher levels in concentration of inorganic components as compared to those of the other part of scape. In addition, leaves and yellow part of scape contained significantly high levels of Ca and Mg while scales bulb showed considerably low levels in all inorganic compounds.

To investigate optimal conditions for plant regeneration in Platycodon grandiflorum (Jacq. A. DC.).Both leaf and hypocotyl explants were cultured on Murashige& Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with combinations of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 mg/L cytokinins (BA and kinetin) and 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D for 6 weeks, respectively. According to the type of explant, the total shoot organogenesis (56.38%) in leaf explants was higher than in hypocotyls (28.20%). In comparison with kinetin and BA for the plant regeneration, the frequency (70.38%) of leaf explants was higher in combination with kinetin and 2,4-D than of BA with 2,4-D (42.38%), whereas the frequency (35.56%) of hypocotyls explants was higher in BA combination than kinetin combination (20.83%). Thehighest frequency (94.20%) was observed from the cultures of leaf explants on the MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L kinetin and 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D. Upon transfer onto 1/2 MS basal medium containing 3% sucrose, shoots developed into plantlets with roots, and were well grown in soil in the greenhouse. These results lead us to speculate that the optimization of culture conditions was responsible for the mass propagation from in vitro cultures of Platycodon grandiflorum (Jacq. A. DC.).

In order to develop a disease-resistant root stock for the growth of watermelon, an efficient regeneration system of the gourd(Lagenaria leucantha Duch.) inbred line GO701-2 via organogenesis was established in this experiment. Using proximal parts of cotyledon explant excised from germinated seedling in vitro, maximum adventitious shoot formation (39%) was achieved on MS medium where cytokinin (BA) and auxin (IAA) were added at a concentration of 3mg/L and 0.1mg/L, respectively. Roots of the elongated shoots were successfully formed on MS medium without adding any plant growth regulators. The cucumber CsGolS1 gene known as a resistance gene against biotic and abiotic stresses, was constructed into the binary vector pBI121 under the control of CaMV 35S promoter. When the gene was introduced into the genome of gourd by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, putative transgenic plants were obtained with the transformation efficiency of approximately 20 percent.

For the micropropagation, node explants of cassava were cultured in liquid MS medium with various concentrations of cytokinins on a rotary shaker (100 rpm) for 2 weeks. The adventitious roots and shoots from the explants were differentiated more efficiently in liquid medium than in solid. But root formation was not inhibited in medium with BAP and kinetin at low concentration (＞0.05 mg 1/sup -1/), while in medium added with BAP and zeatin at high level (＜0.25 mg 1/sup -1/), it was inhibited by callus forming on cut end of the cuttings. However, all of plantlets grown in liquid medium for more than 2 weeks showed symptoms of hyperhydricity. The plantlets grown in liquid medium were transferred into culture bottles filled with fine sand or artificial soil (pitmoss：perlite：vermiculite, 1：1：1 v/v) wetted with half strength of Knop's solution. After transplanted to culture bottles, some of vitriscent leaves were defoliated and new leaves were normally formed from shoot apex. Most of plantlets (＞95%) were hardened-off successfully only in culture bottles with fine sand, and grew into 3-5 cm seedlings possessing 4-6 nodes after 4 weeks. Thus, the mass propagation of cassava on medium containing cytokinin could be established based on the suspension culture using node explants.
