Cytokinins are adenine derivatives that regulate numerous plant growth and developmental processes, including apical and floral meristem development, stem growth, leaf senescence, apical dominance, and stress tolerance. However, not much is known about how cytokinin biosynthesis and metabolism is regulated. We identified a novel Arabidopsis gene, ALL, encoding an aldolase-like enzyme that regulates cytokinin signaling. An Arabidopsis mutant, all-1D, in which ALL is activated by the nearby insertion of the 35S enhancer, exhibited extreme dwarfism with rolled, dark-green leaves and reduced apical dominance, symptomatic of cytokinin-overproducing mutants. Consistent with this, ARR4 and ARR5, two representative primary cytokinin-responsive genes, were significantly induced in all-1D. Whereas SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) and KNAT1, which regulate meristem development, were also greatly induced, expression of REV and PHV that regulate lateral organ polarity was inhibited. ALL encodes an aldolase-like enzyme that belongs to the HpcH/HpaI aldolase family in prokaryotes and is down-regulated by exogenous cytokinin, possibly through a negative feedback pathway. We propose that ALL is involved in cytokinin biosynthesis or metabolism and acts as a positive regulator of cytokinin signaling during shoot apical meristem development and determination of lateral organ polarity.

Effects of mineral salts (N, P, K, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Fe^{3+}$) on the shoot growth and metabolite production of tea tree were studied using in vitro culture techniques. Among mineral s alts, ${H_2PO_4}^-$ was the most important for enhanced growth rate of tea tree, while $Mg^{2+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ did not affect plant growth. Removal of ${NH_4}^+$ and $NO_3$ from the culture medium enhanced shoot multiplication compared to other treatments. Metabolite production was variable depending on mineral types and concentration. Removal of $Ca^{2+}$ decreased the production of caffeine; however, other treatments did not influence its production. $Ca^{2+}$, ${NH_4}^+$ and $Fe^{3+}$ were important factors for catechin production in tea tree. These results can be used as the basis for development of technical soil controls suitable for tea tree cultivation in the future.

In this study, 160 tea tree (Camellia sinensis L.) lines were classified by caffeine content using colorimetric methods. Among them, caffeine-rich lines (HR-78, HR-137, HR-82 and HR-123) and poor lines (HP-85, HP-88, HP-19, and HP-131) were selected. To know the difference in morphological and genetic characters between caffeine-rich and poor lines, we used leaf/shoot growth and RAPD methods. Cluster pattern of morphological characters (leaf width, leaf length, leaf area and shoot length) showed that shoot length was longer in caffein-rich lines than in -poor lines. In genetic analysis, amplified DNA bands having various sizes were detected in RAPD analysis where 30 random primers were used. However, the discriminated primer set that distinguish caffein-rich tree line from -poor lines was not found. These results can be used as the basic data to determine the morphological and genetic differences among caffein-rich and -poor lines.

두릅나무 Aralia elata순의 saponin을 분리하여 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. Saponin의 함량과 종류는 자연산이 온상산보다 많고, 가열에 의해서는 모두 감소하였으며, 잎이 자랄수록 그 함량은 증가하였다. 자연산 날것 식용적기(Nr2)의 총 saponin 종류는 37개였다. 2. 자연산의 saponin 패턴은 생육시기에 따라 변하였으며 날것 식용적기(Nr2)가 다른 것에 비해서 크게 달랐다. 그러나 가열 처리한 결과는 saponin 패턴이 변화되어 시기적 차가 줄었다. 온상산은 자연산에 비해 피크가 단순하고 시기별 차이는 적었지만 가열에 의한 패턴의 차도 적었다. 3. 자연산 날것 식용적기는 ‘b’ saponin이 특이하게 많았고 나머지에서는 ‘d’ saponin이 가장 많았다.

줄기기저부절편조직을 이용한 호접란 조직배양묘 생산 체계를 확립하기 위하여 원괴체 유도와 원괴체 증식의 조건을 구명하고자 하였다. 치상조직별 원괴체 유도 성공률을 비교한 결과 줄기기저부절편조직에서 약 45％의 높은 성공률을 나타내었고 다음은 화경액아 배양으로 약 30％ 정도의 성공률을 나타낸 반면 근단, 화경절간절편, 화경엽, 성숙엽의 경우에는 성공률이 1％ 미만으로 매우 낮았다. 품종별 원괴체의 유도능력에서의 차이를 알아보기 위하여 11개 품종에서 줄기기저부 절편배양을 한 결과 백색계 와 핑크계품종 모두에서 30％이상의 높은 원괴체 성공률을 나타내었다. 줄기기저부배양에서 줄기기저부를 절단하지 않고 천체조직을 치상하였을 경우 거대 원괴체가 유도되었는데 이 거대 원괴체는 진한 녹색으로 보통 원괴체의 3∼5배 정도 이상 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이 거대 원괴체를 증식하기 위해 절단하여 증식배지에 치상하였으나 새로 나온 원괴체는 정상적인 크기의 PLB로 유도되었다. 줄기저부배양에서 얻어낸 원괴체들은 증식과정을 거쳐 정상적인 조직배양묘를 형성하였다 그러므로 이 방법은 호접란 클론묘생산에 쓰일 수 있는 효율적이고 실용적인 방법의 하나라고 판단되었다. 그리고 줄기기저부 절편배양을 이용하여 원괴체를 유도 증식하고 플라스크묘를 만든 뒤 다시 그 묘의 줄기기저부절편을 이용하여 원괴체를 유도 증식하고 플라스크묘를 만들어내는 시스템에 응용함으로써 무한수의 조직배양묘를 연속적으로 생산할 수 있다는 체계가 제시되었다.

Platycodon grandiflorum (Bell flower) is an important plant that has traditionally been used as herbal medicine for the treatment of cough, phlegm, sore throats, lung abscesses, chest pains, dysuria, and dysentery. The present study was initiated to investigate the feasibility of inducing shoot and root organogenesis in cultured explants of P. grandiflorum in a range of culture media and through use of various plant growth regulators (PGRs). The plantlets (Stem containing one node) were isolated and cultured on different concentrations of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with PGRs. We found that proliferation and elongation of shoots and roots could be achieved on 1/4 MS for P. grandiflorum with wild and green petals and on 1/8 MS for P. grandiflorum with double petals. The highest levels of development and elongation of adventitious shoots and roots were observed when petal explants were cultured on 1/4 MS (pH 3.8) supplemented with 5% sucrose. Increasing the agar concentration reduced shoot growth and rooting potential; nevertheless, the highest number of shoots and roots was observed on 0.6% agar. In the case of growth regulators, 1/4 MS supplemented with $1mg\;L^{-1}$ 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) was found to be best for shooting, although higher concentrations of BA tended to reduce shoot and root elongation. The highest number of shoots was achieved on $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ thidiazuron (TDZ) from double petal explants grown on 1/8 MS. However, root and shoot elongation were found to decrease when TDZ concentrations were increased. Low concentrations of kinetin, naphthalene acetic acid, indole acetic acid, and 3-indole butyric acid induced shoot and root proliferation and elongation. Taken together, our study showed that low concentrations of PGRs induced the greatest root formation and elongation, showing that the optimal concentration of PGRs for shoot proliferation was species-dependent.

This experiments were carried out to find out the effects of different explant materials, kinds and concentration of plant growth regulators, and total nitrogen and sucrose contents on the in vitro regeneration of Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai. The effects of growth regulators on regeneration from 3 explant sources (leaf, internode and node) were more or less same. Leaf explants produced only callus with 2ip (Isopentenyladenine) and NAA (Naphthaleneacetic acid) treatment and other regulators had no effects. Test with internode explants yielded about same results but callus was obtained with 2,4-D (2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid). Node explants resulted in shoot regeneration by all regulator treatment except NAA and 2,4-D, but control also showed similar results. Callus formation from internode and node explants was vigorous by 2ip, zeatin, and 2,4-D treatments and high NAA concentration resulted in higher callus formation. In this experiment, various mixed treatment of growth regulators were also employed, using node as explant material. Shoot regeneration was obtained with BA (Benzyl adenine) + NAA treatments but the results were comparable with control. Generally shoot and root regeneration was poor with all combined treatment except 2ip + NAA and 2,4-D + NAA. However, callus was formed readily with all treatments. In this experiment, combined treatments of regulators were applied on the callus derived from singular regulator treatment. The results showed no shoot and root regeneration with any combination of 2,4-D, IAA (Indoleacetic acid) and NAA, but soft milky white callus was formed in all the treatments. No shoot and root regeneration was observed with any combination of 2iP, NAA and IAA, but somewhat hard, light green callus was formed in all the treatments. Callus formation decreased with high kinetin concentration in case of kinetin + NAA treatment. The experiments with total nitrogen content of media showed that low concentrations of 15 and 30mM were effective for the shoot and root regeneration. Sucrose experiment demonstrated shoot regeneration with 1${\sim}$4% concentration, and root and callus formation with 2${\sim}$4%. No root and callus formation was observed with 0 and 1% sucrose.

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.

본 연구는 벼 재배 전에 녹비작물로서 자운영과 풋베기 보리를 재배한 뒤 혼입한 조건에서 벼의 관행 재배방법을 실시하면서 완효성 비료 LCU, 수도용 복합비료 및 질소 감비 시용에 따른 녹비작물 혼입처리 효과를 검토하고자 수행하였다. 벼 이앙 전 녹비작물 재배로 생산된 지상부 신선중량은 풋베기 보리가 $668kg\;10a^{-1}$. 자운영이 $3,492kg\;10a^{-1}$로서 질소 함량으로는 각각 3.9, $17.8kg\;10a^{-1}$이 논에 투입된 것으로 환산되었다. 녹비작물 재배 혼입처리로 인하여 유수형성기와 출수기 벼의 초장과 분얼수가 증가하였으며 수량구성요소 중 수당입수의 증강에는 영향하지 않았으나 화학비료 처리량이 많아질수록 입수가 증가하였다. 또한 등숙율은 녹비작물 혼입처리와 함께 화학비료 처리량이 많을수록 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 자운영 재배 혼입조건의 질소 감비처리에서는 수량 구성요소인 수수와 입수 확보가 가능하였다. 정조수량은 녹비작물 무재배 조건의 표준시비구의 수량 $494kg\;10a^{-1}$를 수량지수 100으로 환산하였을 때 녹비작물 무재배구의 LCU와 복합비료 추천 시비량구의 수량이 표준시비구와 비슷하였으며, 자운영 재배 혼입조건에서는 무비료구를 제외한 모든 처리에서 1-5% 이상의 수량이 증가하였고 수비질소 30% 감량 처리에서도 표준시비구의 수량을 확보할 수 있었다. 벼 생육기간중 토양내 $NH_4-N$ 함량은 녹비작물 무재배 조건에 비해 재배 조건에서 높았다. 또한 녹비작물 무재배 조건의 $NH_4-N$ 함량은 8월 5일 조사 시부터 급격히 감소하여 수확기에는 $2.7-5.7mg\;kg^{-1}$까지 감소하였으나 녹비작물 재배 조건에서는 완만한 감소로서 풋베기 보리와 자운영 재배 혼입조건에서는 10월에도 각각 4.8-10.4, $5.5-9.9mg\;kg^{-1}$의 범위로 유지되었다. 수확기의 벼 경엽과 현미 중 질소함량 및 흡수량은 비료처리 수준과 함께 증가하였고, 녹비작물 무재배 조건보다 녹비작물 재배 혼입조건에서 식물체의 질소 함량 및 흡수량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 수확 후 공시토양의 관입 저항경도는 녹비작물 무재배 조건이 자운영이나 풋베기 보리를 재배하여 혼입시킨 처리에 비해 토심 10 cm와 15 cm 깊이에서 각각 7.9 및 $10.5kgf\;cm^{-2}$로서 저항경도가 높은 것으로 나타났다.
