Callus cultures from leaf explants of Gypsophila paniculata L. cv. 'Bristol Fairy' have been tested their growth and morphogenic capacity on Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 0.l, 0.5, 1 and 3 mg/L 2,4-D. The frequency of callus formation ranged from 43.3% to 100%. The optimal 2,4-D concentration for promoting callus formation and growth was 0.5 to 3 ㎎/L. 4.2∼ 5.6% of adventitious roots were obtained with the use of 0.1 and 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D. Calli grown well on 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D was the heaviest among the calli grown in various concentrations.

Leaf explants of Ixeris sonchifolia produced adventitious shoots at a frequency of 100% when cultured on MS medium supplemented with combinations of various concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (BA) (0.44, 4.44, or 8.87 ${\mu}M$) and 0.54 ${\mu}M$ NAA, or MS medium supplemented with 22.19 ${\mu}M$ BA and 2.69 ${\mu}M\;\alpha$-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) after four weeks of culture. Each explants (approximately $3{\times}6mm$) produced greater than 70 shoots at a combination of 0.44 ${\mu}M$ BA and 0.54 ${\mu}M$ NAA. Leaf explants produced shoots at a frequency of greater than 80% even at as low as 0.13 ${\mu}M$ BA as the sole growth regulator. Upon transfer to one-third strength MS with 0.54 ${\mu}M$ NAA, excised adventitious shoots were rooted at a frequency of 100%. Regenerated plantlets were transplanted to potting soil and grown to maturity in a greenhouse. The competence of I. sonchifolia for plant regeneration via organogenesis appears to be greater than the competence of tobacco, currently the best model plant for organogenesis.

Pinellia koreana K-H Tae & J-H Kim is a recently discovered Korea endemic medicinal plant species whose natural habitat is rapidly destroyed by industrial development. Described in this paper are culture conditions for high frequency plant regeneration via bulblet formation from leaf explant cultures of P. koreana. Leaf explants formed white nodular structures and off-white calluses at a frequency of 91.2% when cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L NAA. However, the frequency of white nodular structures and off-white calluses formation was slightly decreased with an increasing concentration of NAA up to 4 mg/L, where the frequency reached 31.7%. Most petiole explants did not form white nodular structures and off-white calluses except the combination treatment of 2 mg/L BA and 2 mg/L NAA. Upon transfer onto MS basal medium, over 90% of nodular structures gave rise to numerous bulblets and developed into plantlets. Plantlets regenerated from bulblets were transplanted to potting soil and grown to maturity at a survival rate of over 95% in a growth chamber. Therefore, the in vitro plant regeneration system of P. koreana obtained in this study will be useful for mass propagation and long-term preservation of genetic resources of P. koreana.

Purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) is one of the introduced tropical plants, an increasing interest has arisen due to its distinctive taste and attractive flavor. It is expected that passion fruit production and planted area will increase gradually in the years ahead because of high profitability and consumer's demands of healthful ingredients. So we tried to investigate the effect of plant growth regulators and antioxidants on in vitro plant regeneration and callus induction from leaf explants of passion fruit for an establishment of optimal mass propagation system. Young leaf explants of purple passion fruit were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing different growth regulators and antioxidant additives to induce the shoot organogenesis. After 8 weeks, the highest embryogenic callus formation rate was obtained in MS medium supplemented with $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and $2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), furthermore, the shoot development via organogenesis was also observed. Silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$), which was added into the medium to minimize the adverse effects of leached phenolics, was effective for reduction of medium browning and sudden explant death. In the medium supplemented with $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BAP and $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ gibberellic acid ($GA_3$), shoots were most vigorously regenerated and elongated. Most shoots rooted successfully in half strength medium with $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ indol-3 acetic acid (IAA), and more than 90% of plantlets survived after 4-month acclimatization period.

Callus and shoot formation of leaf explants from in vitro propagated shoots and field grown plants depending on the position of leaf, and four boxthron cultivars were investigated. Callus formation of explants from both in vitro shoot and field grown plants as easily achieved at the cut surfaces of explants but the callus formed from leaf of in vitro shoots was hardened as the duration of culture was proceed. Calli were effectively induced from leaves detached from the middle position of both in vitro and in vitro plants on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L NAA with 0.2 mg/L BA, and the growth of calli were better in field grown leaves than in vitro grown leaves. Shoot formation were effectively induced from leaves detached from the upper position in vitro plants, and the middle parts of in vitro plants on MS medium containing 0.01 mg/L (NAA with 0.2 mg/ BA. There was difference on the frequency of shoot formation among four different cultivars; 'Jindojaerae' was the best for shoot formation followed by 'Cheonyang', 'Younghagukija' and 'Cheongyangjaerae'.

A protocol has been developed for differentiation of adventitious shoots directly from leaf segments of Tetragonia tetragonoides O. Kuntze. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2 mg/L $N^6-benzyladenine$ (BA) and 0.5 mg/L ${\alpha}-naphthaleneacetic$ acid (NAA) supported the induction of adventitious shoots from leaf explants. Adventitious shoots were multiplied by subculturing on the double strength MS (2MS) medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L NAA and 2 mg/L BA. Shoots were rooted on MS basal medium without any growth regulators.
