To establish a regeneration system of mulberry through the adventitious bud formation of winter bud leaflet, medium conditions were examined. Adventitious bud formation rate of mulberry winter bud leaflet on the medium containing different concentrations of BA and TDZ as the growth regulators was high on 5mM BA and 0.5mM TDZ. The effect of preculture on the medium containing BA or TDZ was affected not only by the concentration of growth regulators but the duration of preculture. Fructose as carbon source was effective on adventitious bud formation.

This study investigated the effective harvest of 'Kyoho' grapevines by examining their characteristics including bud development, necrosis types and flower primordium formation. The size of the axillary bud did not show any difference in the 5th node or more, but it was smaller because it was closer to the base in the 4th node or less. In the 1st node, the rates of main bud necrosis (MBN), accessory bud necrosis (ABN), and whole bud necrosis (WBN) were high, and the rate of flower primordium formation was low, but there was no significant difference in the other nodes. Therefore, it was expected that using other nodes than the 1st node would be advantageous to secure production. Because the growth progresses after sprouting, the main bud necrosis rate increases, showing a very low flower primordium formation rate in March of the following year. Therefore, a method is needed to increase the storage nutrients in the winter and the rate of flower primordium formation after March. This study found that the thickness of the shoots should be less than 8.5 mm between the 3rd and 4th nodes, and the length should be less than 60 cm for nodes up to the 10th node.

This study was investigated to establish a regeneration system of plant via adventitious bud formation from leaf explant cultures of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch). Effects of plant growth regulators (2,4-D, BAP), agar sucrose and myo-inositol on adventitious bud formation were investigated. When the leaf explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L 2,4-D and 3 mg/L BAP, the adventitious bud formation was most promoted. The adventitious bud formation was not induced from leaf explants cultured on MS medium containing 2,4-D alone. Adventitious bud formation was enhanced to almost 3 times on medium with low level of agar concentration (0.4%) in comparison with those on the medium with high level of agar (1%), but almost of shoot was vitrificated on the medium. Therefore, the normal adventitious bud formation from leaf explants was most effective on the medium containing 0.05 mg/L 2,4-D,1 mg/L BAP, 0.8% agar, 30 g/L sucrose and 100 mg/L myo-inositol. Thus, the mass propagation of healthy strawberry could be established using leaf explants.

This experiment was conducted to obtain the basic information on new- and latent-bud formation, and stem vestige arrangement on the rhizome of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer. Latent buds emerged from meristematic region between shoot and root of the embryo, and new buds for the next year were distributed both at the bottom portion of the stem and the rhizome. In the new buds, organs such as leaf, stem, and flower bud were already completely differentiated, while the latent bud had an undifferentiated meristematic tissue arranged linearly in a vertical line, indicating that each year new- and latent-buds are formed successively. This result suggests that the number of stem vestige may be used for the determination of ginseng age. Key words Rhizome, new-bud, latent-bud, histology, morphology, stem vestige, vestige arrangement.

Addition of plant growth hormones [0.01 mg/L NAA and 0.2mg/L benzyladenine (BA)] to a woody plant medium stimulated the adventitious bud formation of poplar explants during culture. Endogenous IAA content increased rapidly at the initial culture stage and then decreased, being followed by rapid increment again at the late culture. But the content of trans-zeatin riboside (t-ZR) increased continuously during the culture. Cytoplasmic soluble proteins were analyzed by one- and two-dimensional SDS-PAGE. Increased amount of 40 kD band was detected by one-dimensional electrophoresis using Coomassie Blue staining during the culture and two distinctive proteins whose mol wt is 40,000 were detected by two-dimensional electrophoresis using autoradiography and these proteins were synthesized continuously prior to the adventitious bud formation. When the midvein segments were transferred to the actinomycin D-containing medium, the spots of adventitious bud-related proteins(ABRPs) did not disappeared but weakened in intensity. So, it is concluded that genes coding for the ABRPs are regulated to some degree at the transcriptional level. Also, they were not observed in BA-free medium, suggesting that these proteins be regulated by cytokinin, which made then possible to form the adventitious bud.

To examine local response of adenosie(purine nucleoside) on the developing mammary gland, Elvax 40P implants containing adenosine were surgically implanted into mammary fat pad of the five week old female ICR mice. Inguinal(the 4th) mammary glands of anesthetized mice were exposed andplaced the implants for 12 days. One gland was treated with an adenosine implant, while the contralateral gland received a blank implant as control. For whole-mount preparations, glands were stained with alum carmine, and for histological observation, micro-selected mammary glands were stained with hematoxylin and eosin Y. Implantation with Elvax 40P did not affect on the damage of neighboring mammary tissue. Adenosie 25 or 250$\mu\textrm{g}$ per slow-release implant stimulated local mammary end bud formation of ovariectomized mice such as end bud size and numbers of end bud per gland in a dose dependent manner(P<0.05), and lower concentration of adenosie(2.5 or 25$\mu\textrm{g}$/implant) increased numbers of end bud(P<0.05) and end bud size(P<0.1) of intact mice. Adenosine treatment and intact ovarian function had moderate interation effects on the stimulation of end bud formation at 2.5$\mu\textrm{g}$ adenosine/implant(P<0.1). In histological observation, adenosine implants increased numbers of mammary epithelial type of cells at mammary duct in the presence or absece ofovary. These results indicate that adenosine should be one of regulators in mouse mammary ductal growth.

Plantlet regeneration from the shoot apex was studied in three different genotypes of the chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita Thunb) cv. Jnagma and Danma, Dunggunma. The effects of plant growth regulators and inorganic salts concentration of the culture medium on bud induction and shoot growth were examined. The combinations of 0.2 mg/L BAP + 0.2mg/L kinetin, 0.01mg/L NAA + 0.2 mg/L kinetin and a single treatment of 0.2mg/L BAP were equally effective for bud and shoot formation from the shoot apices in the three cultivars. Auxin (2,4-D, NAA) treatment enhanced calli formation from the cultured apices. Also, the shoot apices of the cv. Dunggunma produced more callus and buds on the culture medium (MS) containing 0.05mg/L NAA and 0.5-1.0mg/L SAP. Lower salt strength of medium inhibited shoot elongation but did not have much effect on the shoot and bud induction from the shoot apices. These results will be useful to obtain disease-free plants of the Chinese yam.

In this study, we investigated the cumulative effect of low temperature on bud dormancy release and bud break characteristics in 'Campbell Early' grapevine (Vitis labruscana B.) cuttings grown in water culture. Additionally, we observed the development of buds while exposed to low temperatures in an attempt to improve our understanding of dormancy and bud break. The shoots were collected 120 days after full bloom (DAFB; leaf abscission period), and the accumulated chill unit (CU) value was calculated by reducing the temperature to $7.2^{\circ}C$ at 125 DAFB. The rate of bud break was 100% in shoots collected at 150 DAFB, The period until the first bud break was two times longer than in the shoots collected 165 DAFB, and bud break speed was significantly reduced. These results indicate that buds are released from endodormancy after 165 DAFB, because at this point the bud break was complete (bud break rate 100%) and it occurred in a very short time period. During this period, when the low-temperature accumulated value was 321h and 442CU according to the CH and Utah models, respectively. Furthermore, the survival rate of main buds decreased rapidly after 165 DAFB, and survival rate of accessory buds was maintained at more than 90% without seasonal differences. The rate of flower bud formation of main buds was much higher than in accessory buds (1:0.23) before the release from endodormancy at 150 DAFB. The final ratio of accessory buds to main buds was high, 1:1.54, at 255 DAFB. Correlation analysis of each investigated factor revealed that bud survival rate and bud formation rate were related only for the main buds, and there was a close relationship between the survival rate of main bud and time. In addition, the survival rate of main buds was positively correlated to the rate of flower bud formation.

Cotyledon explants of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), a perennial medicinal plant, produced direct somatic embryos at a high frequency on MS medium without growth regulators. Cytokinin highly suppressed the somatic embryogenesis but stimulated direct fomlation of adventitious buds. BAP was more effective than kinetin for the formation of adventitious bud. IBA combination with cytokinin enhanced the frequency of adventitious bud formation. The highest frequency of adventitious bud formation were $40\%$ at 0.05 mg/l IBA and 5 mg/l BAP. Adventitious buds were mainly formed near the distal portion of cotyledon, while somatic embryos were only formed near the proximal portion of cotyledon. Adventitious buds were covered with sheath similar to axillary buds in the zygotic embryos, and then leaf-like epicotyls were developed.

This experiment was carried out to establish micropropagation system in Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. Through the culture of bulblet scales, stems, node-buds and shoot tips with special reference to the effect of physiological age of explant and plant growth regulators on bulblet formation. Number of formed bulblets was significantly increased in node-bud or stem tissue compared to scals segments and on the medium supplemented with kinetin than BA containing medium. Optimum levels of kinetin for bulblet formation from node-bud taken from above 3 cm shoot length and stem segments excised from below 3 cm shoot length were 5.0 mg /L and $1.0{\sim}3.0\;mg$ /L kinetin, respectively. Interesting phenomenon was observed, the direct formation of bulblets from the axilliary bud of cultured explants. Bulblet forming capacity in stem tissue was depended on stem age, young stem had high regeneration ability compared to old stem taken from above 10 cm shoot length. 1.0 mg /L kinetin was optimum concentration for the formation of bulblets from old stem segments. Stem tissue taken from underground growing plant was promoted coampare to shoot tips or bulb scale segments. Optimum concentration of sucrose was $5{\sim}7%$. Summariged above results revealed that effective explant for micropropagation was stem and /or node-bud tissue excised from less than 3 cm plant height compared to those of bulb scale segments which showed high contamination after culture. Maximum multiplication rate of young stem and /or node-bud segment was about 20 times. Kinetin requirement for stimulation of bulblet formation from cultured explant depended on source of explants but favorable levels of kinetin for organogenesis ranged from 1.0 mg /L to 5.0 mg /L.
