Plant regeneration of Pulsatilla koreana was achieved via adventitious shoot formation indirectly from callus and directly from adventitious root segments. For the callus induction from leaf or petiole explants, combination of 2,4- dichlorophenoxyaceticacid (2,4-D) with $2.22\;{\mu}M$ 6-benzyladenine (BA) was effective. Adventitious shoot induction from callus was enhanced by the combined treatment with $0.1\;{\mu}M$ polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) compared to cytokinin treatment alone. Adventitious roots were induced from the petiole segments on 1/2 MS medium with $4.93\;{\mu}M$ IBA. High frequency direct adventitious shoot formation from the segments of adventitious roots was achieved on medium with $4.92\;{\mu}M$ 2-isopentenyladenine (2-ip). Elongated shoots were rooted on half-strength MS medium containing $5.71\;{\mu}M$ indole acetic acid (IAA). Regenerated plantlets with well-developed shoots and roots were successfully transferred to soil. This in vitro propagation protocol might be useful for mass propagation as well as conservation of this plant.

In the present study, the effects of plant growth regulators on adventitious shoot and root formation of various explants of $in$ $vitro$ seedlings of $Solanum$ $nigrum$ L. were investigated to determine the optimum conditions for the high-efficiency plant regeneration of this species. The formation of adventitious shoots was higher in leaf explants than in cotyledon, hypocotyl, or epicotyl explants at low concentrations (0.5~2.0 mg $L^{-1}$ ) of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The number of adventitious shoots and the shoot length were also higher in both leaf and cotyledon explants. In particular, 2.0 mg $L^{-1}$ BAP was most effective for stimulating the induction and multiplication of adventitious shoots. In terms of root formation and root development from shoots that were separated from multiple shoots, indole butyric acid (IBA) and indole acetic acid (IAA) were more effective than ${\alpha}$-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The percentage of rooting as well as the number of roots per shoot (4.0), root length (7.82 cm), and shoot length (8.76 cm) was highest on MS media supplemented with 0.05 mg $L^{-1}$ IAA. Furthermore, 100% of the regenerated plantlets survived when transplanted to compost soil. These results suggest that leaf explants are the best source for the high-efficiency regeneration of $S.$ $nigrum$ L., and that 2.0 mg $L^{-1}$ BAP and 0.05 mg $L^{-1}$ IAA are the best conditions for shoot and root induction, respectively.

A protocol has been developed for differentiation of adventitious shoots directly from leaf segments of Tetragonia tetragonoides O. Kuntze. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2 mg/L $N^6-benzyladenine$ (BA) and 0.5 mg/L ${\alpha}-naphthaleneacetic$ acid (NAA) supported the induction of adventitious shoots from leaf explants. Adventitious shoots were multiplied by subculturing on the double strength MS (2MS) medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L NAA and 2 mg/L BA. Shoots were rooted on MS basal medium without any growth regulators.

Zygotic embryos of Stewartia korean Nakai were cultured to determine the effects both of BA and NAA on adventitious shoot induction. Multiple shoots (about 11 per explant) were formed when the embryos were treated with 1.0 mg/L BA alone. On the other hand, NAA appeared to inhibit shoot induction when treated with BA. Adventitious shoots looked differ in form and color by the combinations of BA and NAA treated. When both BA and NAA were present, the shoots became short and developed dark color. The highest rooting was observed at 0.5mg/L NAA. The results could be useful for the establishment of in vitro regeneration system for Stewartia koreana Nakai.

We have investigated several factors influencing adventitious shoot induction from the Populus deltodies bartr. leaf segments. To obtain in vitro materials, at first, stem segments from ex vivro were tested for axillary bud breaking on the five macronutrients levels of two differenr media. WPM was better both in bud breaking and leaf expansion than MS medium. The amount of NH$_{4}$NO$_{3}$ added in the medium did not seem to affect axillary bud breaking, significantly and subsequent shoot elongation from the stem segments of P. deltodies. However, other components in WPM might have played important roles in axillary bud breaking and shoot elongation. Regenerability from three sections (the distal, the middle and the base) of leaves cultured on WPM supplemented with TDZ and NAA combinations appeared to be different; middle and basal sections of leaves produced more organogenic sites than those of top section on WPM and those sesctions produced the highest ogranogenic sites on the same medium supplemented with 0.01 mg/l TDZ and 0.02mg.l NAA. Among 3 carbon sources tested for adventitious shoot elongation, fructose seemed to be stimulating the elongation of adventitious shoots. Sucrose and glucose added in the medium resulted in the necrosis which caused dying of adventitious shoots, eventually.

Micropropagation of Ulmus davidiana Planch was established via adventitious shoot formation from the segments of adventitious roots. Adventitious roots were produced directly from root segments of seedlings on a 1/2 SH medium plus various concentrations of IBA. The maximum growth of adventitious roots was observed in the presence of 2.0 mg/L IBA. After the segments of adventitious roots were cultured on various cytokinins (zeatin, 2-iP, BA, kinetin) and cytokinins plus auxin (IBA), formation of adventitious shoot was investigated. Among cytokinin treated, kinetin was the most effective on both adventitious shoot induction and number of shoots. Especially, 2.0 mg/L kinetin was the best to increase adventitious shoot induction (95.8%) and a number of shoots (8.4). Adventitious shoots were rooted on 1/2 WPM medium and the plantlets were acclimated 100% on composed soil (peatmoss : vermiculite 1 : 1).

The gesneriaceous perennial plant Titanotrichum oldhamii has beautiful foliage and attractive bright yellow flowers. However, breeding of T. oldhamii by conventional sexual hybridization may be difficult because sexual reproduction of this species is very rare. In the present study, plant regeneration systems via both direct and indirect formation of adventitious shoots from leaf explants were established as the first step toward breeding T. oldhamii by using biotechnological techniques. Adventitious shoots were formed efficiently on medium containing $0.1mg\;l^{-1}$ benzyladenine. Histological observation showed that shoot formation on this medium occurred directly from leaf epidermal cells without callus formation. On the other hand, leaf explants formed calluses on medium containing $0.1mg\;l^{-1}$ 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The calluses could be maintained by monthly subculturing to fresh medium of the same composition. When the calluses were transferred to plant growth regulator-free medium, they formed adventitious shoots. Directly and indirectly formed shoots rooted well on medium containing $0.1mg\;l^{-1}$ indole-3-butyric acid. Plantlets thus obtained were successfully acclimatized and grew vigorously in the greenhouse. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that no variation in the ploidy level was observed in plants regenerated via direct shoot formation, whereas chromosome doubling occurred in several plants regenerated via indirect shoot formation. Regenerated plants with the same ploidy level as the mother plants showed almost the same phenotype as the mother plants, whereas chromosome-doubled plants showed apparent morphological alterations: they had small and crispate flowers, and round and deep green leaves.

Cacalia firma recently has been used increasingly as leaf vegetables but endangered in natural forest. In this work, we established the plant regeneration via adventitious shoot formation from petiole segments of seedling and in vitro plantlets. Wounding of seed coats and $GA_3$ treatments were effective to induce in vitro germination of seeds, whereas, seed did not germinate at all without these treatment. When cotyledon, leaf, petiole, and root segments of seedling were cultured on medium with 2 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ benzyl adenine (BA) and 0.5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), petiole segments showed highest number of shoots per explant among the other segments. Among the various kinds of cytokinins, BA, isopentyl adenine (2-ip), kinetin, zeatin, thidiazuron (TDZ), TDZ and BA treatments were effective to induce high frequency of adventitious shoot formation from petiole segments of in vitro propagated plants. NAA stimulated the frequency of adventitious shoot formation but not for number of adventitious shoots per explants compared to TDZ or BA treatment alone. Most of adventitious shoots were developed directly from surfaces of explants. Adventitious shoots were transferred on medium with IBA for root formation, thereafter the plantlets were successfully transferred to soil.

Adventitious buds appeared within 2 weeks on the base of the petiole explants and increased for two months. A maximum of regeneration (15.6%) was obtained on the medium containing $1.5\;{\mu}M$ TDZ in combination with $1\;{\mu}M$ IBA. To know which explants are the best for the induction of regeneration, three explants such as leaf, petiole and leaf-petiole were used. Among the explant types, the leaf-petiole explant was significantly more effective than leaf and petiole for promoting adventitious shoots, with leaf-petiole inducing at the highest regeneration frequency (33.7%). The regeneration frequency of adventitious shoots in the leaf-petiole explants was significantly affected by leaf size and the position of explants. The leaf-petiole smaller than 5 mm leaf in width was induced at the highest regeneration frequency (68.9%). The smaller leaf sizes, the greater regeneration frequency. Also when the leaves are nearer to the shoot tip, the regeneration frequency is higher. When the rooted micro-shoots were transferred to the soil after growing for 6 weeks in the media, the survival rate was 90%.

An efficient system for the regeneration of adventitious shoots from in vitro cultured leaf sections of Lycium chinense Miller was developed and silent somaclones from the regenerants detected with RAPD method. Among the eight media tested (B5, SH, N&N, 1/2MS, MS, 3/2MS, GD and WPM), and four cytokinins (BA, kinetin, 2ip and zeatin) with different concentrations (1, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 $\mu{M}$), 1/2 MS medium supplemented with 20 and 30 $\mu{M}$ zeatin showed the best regeneration frequency (100% and 93.7%) and higher average number of shoots (9.0 and 9.4). All regenerants easily elongated after subculturing on 1/4MS without growth stimulants and produced spontaneous adventitious roots from their basal parts. With phenotypically normal 40 regenerants, RAPD analysis with 15 different random primers was performed to examine the cryptic somaclonal variants. No substantial differences in banding patterns were found in the amplified polymorphic DNAs implying no DNA changes during dedifferentiation into adventitious shoots. However, one (OPF-4) of the 15 primers detected silent somaclonal variation in one regenerant in which two different polymorphic bands did not appear when compared with the rest regenerants. The results indicate that regenerantion via intervening callus phase can be used to establish true-to-type planting stocks for homogeneous population.
