The effect of carbenicillin on the dedifferentiation and the regeneration efficiency of plant tissues of horseradish(Armoracia rusticana) was evaluated, Inhibition effect for callus initiation was observed when leaf blade, root and petiole segments were grown on MS medium containing 500 mg/L to 2000 mg/L carbenicillin and 0.5 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The regeneration of horseradish shoots from leaf blade, root and petiole explants were decreased as the addition of carbenicillin increased from 1000 mg/L to 2000 mg/L in MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) or kinetin. Especially, 500 mg/L carbenicillin treatment significantly inhibited shoot induction when leaf blade explants were grown on hormone-free MS medium. It was suggested that the toxic effects of combinations of carbenicillin and 2,4-D may be due to high auxin activity levels.

Plant regeneration system from leaf and root segments of Lycoris chejuensis via bulblet formation was established. Surface-sterilized leaf and root segments were cultured on the B5 medium containing 2,4-D. After 12 weeks of culture onto B5 medium containing 2,4-D, white globular structures and white calluses were formed on the cut surface of the explants. The highest frequency of globular structures and calluses formation from leaf explants was 32.1% when leaf explants were cultured onto B5 medium supplemented with 1 mg/L of 2,4-D. However, the higher concentration of 2,4-D (over than 3 mg/L) resulted in decrease of the frequency. In comparison to leaf explants, root segments showed the highest frequency at a rate of 36.1% when root explants were cultured onto B5 medium supplemented with 3 mg/L of 2,4-D. These structures and calluses were sub-cultured and proliferated onto the same culture medium. Upon transfer to B5 basal medium, white globular structures were developed into bulblets and normal plantlets. After 4 weeks of incubation in the light, plantlets were successfully rooted over the frequency of approximately 90%. Rooted plantlets were successfully transferred to potting soil and acclimatized in the growth chamber. The plant regeneration system of Lycoris chejuensis established in this study, might be applied to mass proliferation, conservation of genetic resources and genetic transformation for molecular breeding.

A plant regeneration system was developed through shoot organogenesis from in vitro leaf explants of Chrysanthemum morifolium 'Ohblang'. The effects of different concentrations of plant growth regulators and AgNO₃ on efficient shoot regeneration and inhibition of browning were evaluated in chrysanthemum. The explants were cultured on MS shoot induction medium supplemented with 12 combination treatments of 6-benzyladenine (BA) 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L, and α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L in darkness for 6 weeks and cultured under a 16/8 h photoperiod for 6 weeks. The highest shoot regeneration was obtained from the explants cultured on the medium with 1.0 mg/L BA and 1.0 mg/L NAA. Based on this result, AgNO₃ was added to a shoot induction medium containing MS salts, vitamins, 1.0 mg/L BA, 1.0 mg/L NAA, 30 g/L sucrose, and 6 g/L agar to reduce browning of chrysanthemum leaf explants. In the control treatment without AgNO₃, leaf explants turned brown at the cut edge; however, browning was not observed in AgNO₃ treatments. Shoot organogenesis was higher at low concentrations of AgNO₃ and decreased with an increase in AgNO₃ concentration. The explants cultured on shoot induction medium (MS salts, vitamins, 1.0 mg/L BA, 1.0 mg/L NAA) with 1 mg/L of AgNO₃ produced the highest shoot regeneration with 2.6 shoots per explants and a browning index of 0.7. When the regenerated shoots were detached from the explants and cultured on MS medium, the shoots were elongated and rooted successfully.

To develop a high efficiency plant regeneration system from in vitro cultures of strawberry, cv. Yeobong, petiole and leaf explants were cultured on MS basal medium containing a combination of 0.5 mg/L IBA and 3.2 mg/L kinetin or zeatin or benzyl amino purine (BAP) for 6 weeks, and leaf explants with dark pretreatment for a week ($T_1$), 2 weeks ($T_2$), and 4 weeks ($T_3$) were cultured on medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L IBA and 3.2 mg/L zeatin under 16 hr photoperiod for 6 weeks. Shoot organogenesis was observed from the greenish calli containing minimal anthocyanin formed at proximal cutting edges of the leaf explant (57%) when cultured adaxial side on the medium, whereas was directly formed from a cutting edges of petiole explant (6.3%). Frequency of callus formation and shoot organogenesis at large size of leaf explant ($1.0{\sim}1.5\;cm^2$) was higher than small size ($0.5{\sim}1.0\;cm^2$), and dark pretreatment significantly improved the frequency of leaf explants that produced calli and shoots. The maximum frequency (87%) for shoot organogenesis was obtained from the leaf explants that transferred to a 16 hr photoperiod condition after the initial 4 weeks dark period. The improved frequency (87%) in comparision with control without dark pretreatment (27%). When the shoots were transferred to 1/2 MS basal medium, formed roots with 20 d of culture. The rooted plants were subsequently transferred to the pots and to the field.

Adventitious shoots were directly induced from leaf explants of R. glutinosa, an important medicinal plant. Proliferating shoot cultures were obtained by culturing leaf discs on Murashige and Skoog(MS) medium alone or combination with auxins and cytokinins. MS medium supplemented with 1 $mg/{\ell}\;BA\;and\;2\;mg/{\ell}$ IAA was the most effective, providing high shoot bud formation frequency without formation of intervening callus. The effect of leaf age on adventitious shoot formation was also investigated. The maximum shoot bud production (93.4%) was achived using 3rd leaf from apex of 6 weeks old plantlets after seed germination. Plantlet were rooted on an half-strength MS (1/2MS) medium containing 0.1 $mg/{\ell}\;IBA$. This prtocol is useful for clonal propagation and Agrobacterium-mediated transforamtion in R. glutinosa.

To investigate optimal conditions for plant regeneration in Platycodon grandiflorum (Jacq. A. DC.).Both leaf and hypocotyl explants were cultured on Murashige& Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with combinations of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 mg/L cytokinins (BA and kinetin) and 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D for 6 weeks, respectively. According to the type of explant, the total shoot organogenesis (56.38%) in leaf explants was higher than in hypocotyls (28.20%). In comparison with kinetin and BA for the plant regeneration, the frequency (70.38%) of leaf explants was higher in combination with kinetin and 2,4-D than of BA with 2,4-D (42.38%), whereas the frequency (35.56%) of hypocotyls explants was higher in BA combination than kinetin combination (20.83%). Thehighest frequency (94.20%) was observed from the cultures of leaf explants on the MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L kinetin and 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D. Upon transfer onto 1/2 MS basal medium containing 3% sucrose, shoots developed into plantlets with roots, and were well grown in soil in the greenhouse. These results lead us to speculate that the optimization of culture conditions was responsible for the mass propagation from in vitro cultures of Platycodon grandiflorum (Jacq. A. DC.).

This study was conducted to develop the clonal propagation technique through in vitro culture using by leaf sheath explants of Phalaenopsis grown in vitro. The highest frequency of protocorm-like body (PLB) formation was obtained when explants of leaf sheath were cultured on VW medium containing 30g/L sucrose, 500 mg/L activated charcoal, 150 mVL coconut water, 1 mg/L NAA, 1 mg/L 2ip and 2.5 g/L gelrite. The PLB formation rate of VW medium was highest followed by modified Hyponex medium, and lowest in MS medium. Plantlets induced from PLBs transferred to plastic pots including spagnum moss were well developed.

Adventitious multiple shoots were developed from leaf, petiole and internode explants of Geophila reniformis D. Don. on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of $N^6$-benzylaminopurine (BAP) or Kinetin (KIN) alone or in combination with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Leaf showed maximum organogenetic potential, followed by petiole and internode. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 22.22 $\mu{M}$ BAP and 4.57 $\mu{M}$ IAA induced maximum shoot buds from leaf explants. Internodal segments showed low potential of direct organogenesis. The regenerated shoots rooted the best in presence of 10.75 - 13.44 $\mu{M}$ $\alpha$-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) along with 2.22 $\mu{M}$ BAP, and were successfully established in the field with a survival rate of 89.11%.
