In order to develop an efficient micropropagation system for a rare tree species, Empetrum nigrum var. japonicum K. Koch, the effect of medium salt, cytokinins and auxin at different concentration were evaluated. Shoot induction from axillary bud was better on WPM medium than on MS medium. Although there was no significant differences observed in shoot induction among the salt strengths of WPM medium, whereas healthy shoots were developed on basal WPM medium. In comparison of the cytokinins affecting shoot proliferation, zeatin was better than BA, whereas BA exhibited more effectiveness on shoot elongation. In vitro root formation was better on WPM medium than on 1/2MS medium and achieved the highest rooting rate when 5.0 mg/L IBA treatment. 93% of rooted plantlets were survived on artificial soil mixture after 4 weeks of acclimatization. Above results suggest that a rare tree species, E. nigrum var. japonicum can be micropropagated via axillary bud cultures.

One of micropropagation methods was investigated by using a multiple-shoots protocol. Multiple shoot formation was obtained from excised axillary buds of Hypericum erectum on half-strength or basal MS medium supplemented with TDZ or BA. The optimal combination of shoot multiplication for the production of more shoots with a suitable size was MS medium supplemented with $0.005\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ TDZ (6.5 adventitious shoots per node). In vitro rooting was carried on half-strength MS medium with $1\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;GA_3\;and\;0.5\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IBA treatment. In addition, the rooted cuttings were showed a better root growth in the greenhouse and survived in more than 90%. The results show that the species can be micropropagated effectively by the application of axillary bud culture systems.

Immature flowers and lateral buds of Neoregeria carorinae cv. Tricolor were cultured for micropropagation and the collecting times of materials, growth regulators and theirs concentrations, and cultural methods on the formation of adventitious buds and growth were investigated in this experiment The formation rate was the highest in immature flowers collected at 4weeks after flower bud differentiation and in buds at 7weeks after flower differentiation of adventitious buds. MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L BA was the most favorable for the formation of adventitious buds. Solid medium was more effective for the formation of adventitious buds than liquid one. MS medium with 1.0 mg/L NAA was the most suitable for the rooting of regenerated shoot. Liquid medium was effective for the rooting of regenerated shoot than solid one.

A rapid micropropagation protocol was established for Exacum travancoricum Bedd. The effect of two cytokinins viz. BA and kinetin were studied to evaluate the propagation of plants through nodal explants. MS medium supplemented with 13.32 ${\mu}M$ BA induced early bud break and subsequent production of multiple shoots. Rooting of shoots occurred when cultured on 1/2 strength MS medium supplemented with 14.7 ${\mu}M$ IBA. Rooted plants were acclimatized to greenhouse conditions. The propagated plants were transferred successfully to field with 65% success. As the plant was amenable to propagation in vitro, this can be employed as a tool for conservation of this critically endangered and endemic ornamental herb.

Several plant growth regulators were examined for on their effect on the in vitro propagation of Kalopanax pictus$(T_{HUNB}.)$ $(N_{AKAI}.)$ on WPM medium. Among the cytokinins tested, BA at $13.32\;{\mu}M$ appeared to be the most effective for multiple axillary shoot formation. Although the addition of $2.89\;{\mu}M\;GA_3$ promoted stem elongation, it produced morphologically abnormal leaves and stems. For rooting of the shoots, $4.9\;{\mu}M$ IBA seemed to be more effective than $2.69\;{\mu}M$ NAA. When the regenerated plants were transferred on artificial mixture containing vermiculite and peat-moss (1 : 1, v/v), 81% of them survived and grew normally.

An efficient method for the rapid propagation of Smilax china from axillary buds was established. Plants with thick leafage were selected from Korea native S. china population. Axillary buds of S. china collected from selected plant and were cultured in various culture media (2MS, MS, 1/2MS, WPM, B5 and SH medium). Shoot was induced from axillary bud on MS basal medium after 4 weeks of culture. 1/2MS medium showed a higher growth rate than those of the others, while the lowest shoot growth was obtained in 2MS medium. Among the sucrose concentrations, 5% sucrose was the optimum level for shoots growth from axillay buds. Among cytokinins, $0.5mgL^{-1}$ 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) treatment showed the best performance on shoot multiplication, yielding average shoot multiplication forming about 2.4. Rooting was induced directly near the base of the shoot on 1/2MS medium containing with three-auxins ${\alpha}-napthalene$ acetic acid (NAA), indole acetic acid (IAA) and ${\beta}-indolebutyric$ acid (IBA) (0.5 and $1.0mgL^{-1}$). The $1.0mgL^{-1}$ IBA treatments induced earliest rooting with maximum of root number and root growth. These rooted plantlets were successfully transferred to pots for 4 weeks hardening process, and were transferred to soil with above 90% survival rate.

Growth of M.9 (Malus domestica Bark. cv) and M.26 (Malus domestica Bark. cv) of dwarf apple rootstock, cultured on MS agar medium in a vessel with ventilating stopper (VS) and then in vivo rooting and acclimatization under combined-treatment by some materials with IBA, were investigated. Concentration of $CO_2$ and ethylene in the vessel with VS was lower then in the vessel with non-VS. Change of temperature and humidity in the vessel with VS was repeated by light condition. Stomatal pares of tissue in the vessel with VS were immediately closed after plantlets were exposed to room humidity but those in the vessel with non-VS were opened after 20 minutes exposure to room humidity. Leaf area and chloroplast index of tissue in the vessel with VS was higher then in the vessel with non-VS. In vivo rooting ratio and acclimatization ratio of M.9 and M.26 was highest in 300mg/L IBA＋3％ sucrose dip-treatment among other combined- treatments.

In order to micropropagate uniform plantlets of Philodendron cannifolium in vitro, the shoot tips were cultured on MS media supplemented with $0.5{\sim}10.0$ mg/L BA or $0.05{\sim}0.1$ mg/L thidiazuron(TDZ). The adventitious multi-bud clusters from basal part of shoots were formed on MS media containing $2.0{\sim}5.0$ mg/L BA or $0.05{\sim}0.1$ mg/L TDZ. But the shoots grown on MS media with TDZ showed necrosis by the lack of chlorophyll. The adventitious multi-bus clusters were cut into $5{\sim}7$ mm sections and cultured on MS media containing BA and TDZ for shoot proliferation. Shoots were proliferated vigorously on MS medium supplemented with $1.0{\sim}3.0$ mg/L BA with up to 30 shoots. But abnormally swollen hard calli were formed from basal parts of shoots on MS media with TDZ and high concentration of BA(10.0 mg/L). The proliferated shoots on same media also showed necrosis by the lack of chlorophyll. The shoot growth and rooting were favorable on MS media containing $0.5{\sim}2.0$ mg/L IBA. The rooted plantlets were acclimatizated effectively in soil mixed with perlite 1:vermiculite 1 or vermiculite alone. Fifteen mL of liquid medium containing 10 g/L activated charcoal and 30 g/L sucrose were added in same vessels after small shoots were proliferated to stimulate shoot growth and rooting. After 8 weeks in culture, the shoots were dipped into high concentration of IBA solution. and planted in soil mexed with perlite 1:vermiculite 1. The shoot growth and rooting were favorable in dipping treatments of $500{\sim}2,000$ ppm IBA solutions for 10 sec.

An effective in vitro multiplication method was developed for clones of Populus davidiana Dode. Ten different media were tested for their effect on shoot multiplication. Both MS and LP medium with 0.2mg/l BAP appeared to be the best for the shoot multiplication with the rate of 9 shoots per explant. There were significant differences among the clones in both multiplication rate and shoot growth. While some clones did not require BAP to promote shoot formation, others did. More than 60% of in vitro shoots rooted on the half-strength GD medium containing 0.2mg/l IBA.

In order to develop an efficient micropropagation protocal for Eucalyptus pellita, on in vitro culture system has been was established by inducing axillary buds from greenhouse stock materials. Among 6different media tested, DKW medium was the best ot induce bast induce both shoot proliferation and growth. Average number of proliferated shoots of 403per explant was obtained at the concentration of 0.1mg/LBA. Most of the stem materials excreted phenolic compounds at the proximal part of the explant and caused darking of the media. Therefore, it was necessary to transfer frequently to a fresh medium and/or to add activated charcoal at the concentration of 0.02％(w/v). Generally on vitro roots were formed easily on 1/2DKW medium with NAA treatment. All the explants rooted at the medium containing 0.2mg/L NAA and displayed vigorous root growth in vitro culture conditions. After transferred to an artificial soil mixture (peatmoss: vermiculrite: perlite, 1:1:1, v/v/v) in the greenhouse, most rooted plantlets survived well without any morphological abnormalities. The results show that the species can be micropropagated effectively by the application of axillary bud culture system.
