To diagnose lily fasciation, lily bulbs showing fasciation were collected from several greenhouses in Jeju Island, South Korea. Bacteria were isolated from the lily bulbs and amplified with both primers for fasA in plasmid and for putative glycosyltransferase epsH gene in chromosome of Rhodococcus fascians. Three bacterial isolates were detected with the P450 primer set and identified as R. fascians by NCBI blast analysis. Twelve bacterial isolates were identified as R. fascians using RS02785 primer set, including the three bacterial isolates identified as the same pathogen using the P450 primer set. Pathogenicity of these bacterial strains identified as R. fascians was demonstrated. Apparent symptoms were observed on wounded lily leaves after inoculation with each bacterial suspension whereas no symptom was found on lily leaves treated with H₂O. Furthermore, bacteria re-isolated from wounded sites were identified as R. fascians. Based on the results, these two sets of primers are recommended for quarantine of R. fascians.

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.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of TDZ (thidiazuron) treatment on Propagation in vivo through scale cultures of Narcissus pseudonarcissus. Scales with disk (5 to 7 m in size) were cultured on MS medium containing NAA, BA and TDZ. Bulbs and shoots were directly formed when scales were cultured on medium containing 5 mg/L NAA and 1 mg/L BA. In addition, combination of 3 mg/L NAA and 0.02 mg/L TDZ promoted effectively the direct formation of bulbs and shoots. The shoots were rooted when cultured on medium containing 5 mg/L NAA and 0.02 mg/L TDZ. non scales obtained from regenerates were cultured on medium containing 1.0 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L TDZ, they gave rise to numerous bulbs and shoots . The overall results suggest that TDZ is an effective plant growth regulator in vitro propagation of N. pseudonarcissus.

Liquid shaking culture was conducted to investigate the proper culture conditions for the micropropagation of high quality lily using bulblets (3 mm in diameter) obtained from small scale culture. The combinations of 9% sucrose and 10 mM nitrogen or 6% sucrose and 20 mM $NH_4NO_3$ were effective on the growth and weight of micro-bulbs. However, the number of new bulbs was the highest when 20 to 40 mM $NH_4NO_3$ and 3% sucrose were added to the MS medium. The total fresh weight was increased effectively in MS medium supplemented with BA 0.2 mg/L alone under $60\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^2{\cdot}sec^{-1}$ intensity. Also bulblet weight was increased at $60\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^2{\cdot}sec^{-1}$ intensity, regardless of BA concentrations (0.2 and 2 mg/L) in the medium. The proper culture period of bulblet was about 2 month in liquid shaking culture.

This study was conducted to determine the herbicidal activity of herbicidal substances and identify them in bulbs of Lycoris flavescens. Methanol extract was purified by a series of chromatographic techniques including silica gel column chromatography, preparative TLC, and HPLC. The final HPLC gave two active fractions and two herbicidal substances were obtained. By GC/MS analysis, one was identified as galanthine (galanthan-1-ol) and the other was identified as montanine ($O^2$-methyl pancracine), an isoquinoline alkaloid. Montanine showed nearly 100% of growth inhibition on the shoot and root of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli) seedlings at $20{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ as compared with the control. Meanwhile, methanol extract of L. flavescens bulbs showed only about 3.1% and 8.3% of growth inhibition on the shoot and root of rice cultivar, Hwayeongbyeo seedlings at $1,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ as compared with the control, respectively.

Stem firmness and flowering response of cut lily as influenced by medium composition (Control: Upland soil, Pt: Peatmoss, Pe: Perlite, Ve: Vermiculite, Rrh: Rotted rice-hull, RPt: Russian Peatmoss) were studied. For 'Casa Blanca', plant height and length of flower stalk increased when bulbs were planted in Pt:Rrh:Ve(1:1:1, v/v), and dried leaves of lower part plants decreased by RPt:Pe:Rrh(1:1:1, v/v). In case of 'Marco Polo' plant height and length of flower stalk increased with Pt:Rrh(1:1, v/v) as compared to other treatment, number of leaves and dried leaves increased when bulbs were planted in RPt:Pe:Rrh(1:1:1, v/v) as compared to control. Flowering of 'Casa Blanca' was promoted in Pt:Pe:Ve(1:1:1, v/v) and 'Marco Polo' was accelerated in Pt:Rrh:Ve(1:1:1, v/v). Flower length of 'Casa Blanca' was increased by RPt:Pe:Rrh(1 :1 :1, v/v) as compared with control and 'Marco Polo' was increased when bulbs planted to Pt:Rrh(1 :1, v/v). Flower-bud blasting of two cultivars was increased with Pt as compared with other treatment. Stem firmness of 'Casa Blanca' was increased by Pt:Pe:Ve (1:1 :1, v/v), and especially, stem firmness of upper part plants was increased by Pt:Rrh(1 :1, v/v) in 'Marco Polo' as compared to control plants. but generally, stem firmness of 'Casa Blanca' was not influenced with all cultural media as compared to control.

The bulb storability of eight red and ten yellow onion (Allium cepa L.) cultivars grown primarily in Korea was evaluated. During storage, sprouting occurred earlier in red cultivars than in yellow cultivars. In addition, the ratio of sprouted to unsprouted bulbs increased more rapidly in red cultivars than in yellow cultivars. However, not all yellow cultivars had strong storabilities. Bulb storability of three yellow cultivars was as poor as that of red cultivars, suggesting only a slight possibility of a pleiotropic effect of color and bulb storability. Meanwhile, $F_3$ lines of a red cultivar selected based on stronger storabilities showed intermediate storabilities between those of the red and yellow cultivars, implying that strong storability could be obtained by successive selection. In contrast, $F_1$ hybrids from crosses between yellow and red breeding lines showed poor storability compared with the yellow cultivars, indicating that poor storability may be dominant over strong storability. The relationships between color and other traits that potentially affect storability, such as fresh and dry weight, water content, and firmness of bulbs, were evaluated. No significant differences in these traits were observed between the two colors, although the water content of yellow cultivars and the dry weight of red cultivars were slightly higher than their counterparts. Correlation analyses between bulb storability and other traits, including weight, water content, and firmness, also showed no significant correlations. In this study, no correlations were identified between bulb color, storability, and other traits. However, based on these results, red cultivars with stronger storabilities could be developed through successive selection of bulbs with stronger storabilities.

Wild garlic (Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum, AVVP) is a nontimber forest product used as an edible and medicinal vegetable. AVVP is usually propagated form offspring bulbs but it takes a long time to harvest. Using tissue culture technology could overcome this problem. This study investigated the optimal conditions for shoot multiplication, root growth, and plant growth by scooping AVVP bulbs. AVVP bulbs harvested from Ulleung Island, Korea, the main producer of AVVP, were surface-sterilized and used for in vitro propagation. Shoot multiplication was performed by the scooping method. More than five multiple shoots were induced from scooped tissue in Quoirin and Lepoivre (QL) medium containing plant growth regulators (PGRs); the maximum number of multiple shoots were induced from scooped tissue in QL medium containing 0.45 μM thidiazuron (TDZ) after 16 weeks of culture. Roots were induced directly at the base of the shoots in all treatments. In vitro rooting depended on the type of PGRs, and the best root-inducing treatment was QL medium containing 9.84 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Plants with in vitro roots were transferred to pots containing artificial soil and successfully acclimatized for 4 weeks. The acclimatized plants showed a survival rate of 80% after 20 weeks and gradually promoted growth depending on the acclimatization period. The results of this study will be of great help to AVVP dissemination through sustainable mass propagation.
