Leaf samples and bulbs showing characteristic symptoms of virus infection were collected from Gang-won, Chung-nam, and Jeju Province of Korea in 2008-2009. Three viruses, Lily symptomless virus (LSV), Lily mottle virus (LMoV), and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) were detected by RT-PCR. Virus-infected plant samples were identified; 12 plants with LSV, 20 plants with LMoV, and 1 plant with CMV. Of the twelve LSV infected samples, seven samples were found to be mix-infected with LMoV and LSV. Symptoms of LMoV and LSV mixed infection were fairly severe, like as vein clearing, leaf curling, leaf mottling, leaf mosaic, and yellow streaking. Mixed infection with LMoV and LSV was also found in lily bulbs which have been stored under unfavorable environmental conditions. LMoV predominated in our tests, whereas spread of Lilyvirus X (LVX) was not found. The nucleotide sequences of coat protein (CP) region of seven isolates (4 LMoV, 2 LSV, and 1 CMV) were compared with the corresponding regions of LMoV (AJ564636), LSV (AJ516059) and CMV(AJ296154). The nucleotide sequence homologies between reference viruses and seven isolates were 95-99%. Complete sequencing of seven isolates is necessary to obtain more information on the molecular characteristics of these viruses as well as to increase sensitivity and rapidity of viral detection.

Plants regenerated from in vitro cultures carry chromosomal variations, especially in long-term culture. Reducing the duration of plant tissue culture is one of the ways to reduce genetic and epigenetic changes. In this study, we reduced the duration of long-term culture and repeat subculture using small bulblets derived from bulb scales in two lily cultivars. The adventitious bulblets derived from bulb-scale tissue were cultured on three different media containing Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 1 g/L Charcoal, MS medium containing 0.3 mg/L IAA and 0.4 mg/L BA hormone with or without Charcoal, respectively. About seven weeks later, the number of newly propagated multiple shoots in the two media, A and B media, showed little differentiation. Compared to both media, the number of propagated multiple shoots increased 5-fold in MS medium containing 0.3 mg/L IAA and 0.4 mg/L BA hormone without Charcoal (C medium). The number of propagated multiple shoots ranged from 5 to 6 and 4 to 6 with an average of 5 in TropicalPink and GreenStar cultivars, respectively. The flow cytometric measurements indicated no variation in the ploidy level between control and in vitro propagated plants.

Cryopreservation is one of the ideal and suitable methods for long-term storage of plant germplasm. The plant contaminated with diseases and pathogens are decreased the multiplication rate, survival rate and high quality of plants after cryopreservation. The aim of this work was to improve a micropropagation method for lily in Korea, which are cultivars and indigenous plant. In the last process of rinsing scales after surface-sterilization, we tried to control the diseases and pathogens lived within the tissue by rinsing in 0.03% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) instead of sterile distilled water. Bulb scales of Lilium were cultured in vitro on MS medium supplemented with Plant Preservative Mixture (PPM). The newly small bulb formed from bulb-scales was transferred to MS medium. We checked the non-contamination and survival rate after 2 weeks in culture. Non-contamination was shown to be 70 to 90% in formed small bulbs. This study will help to mitigate microbial contamination in Lilium species micropropagation for cryopreservation.

In order to develop a skin-whitening agent, melanin contents and intracellular tyrosinase activity were determined by western blotting. Ethyl acetate fractions of 80% ethanol extracts from lily (Lilium Oriental Hybrid 'Siberia') bulbs (R-EA) inhibited melanin synthesis in a dose-dependent manner in ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone (${\alpha}$-MSH)-treated B16/F10 murine melanoma cells. Intracellular tyrosinase activity and melanin contents were suppressed by 45% and 74%, respectively, in response to treatment with $100{\mu}g/mL$ of R-EA. Examination of protein expression associated with ${\alpha}$-MSH-induced melanogenesis showed that tyrosinase related protein (TRP)-1 was inhibited more strongly than tyrosinase, and these results were correlated with stronger inhibition of melanin synthesis than intracellular tyrosinase activity. Taken together, R-EA containing p-coumaric acid and resveratrol could be used as a hypopigmentation agent through suppression of sustained extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation via melanogenic induction.

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.

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.

세계 5대 화훼 작물의 하나인 백합은 상품성이 있는 꽃을 생산하기 위한 것으로 백합꽃의 크기와 모양, 꽃의 수 등은 구근의 크기에 의해서 결정된다. 백합구근이 크면 클수록 꽃이 크고 1개의 줄기에서 많은 꽃이 피게 되어 좋은 상품을 생산할 수 있다. 따라서 상품성이 높은 백합꽃을 생산하기 위해서는 백합구근을 크기별로 분류하여 같은 크기의 구근을 재배하는 것이 좋은 꽃을 일정하고 균일하게 많은 수의 꽃을 생산할 수 있으나 백합 구근은 뿌리가 길고 구근의 수분함량이 높고 흙이 밥이 붙어 있어서 선별작업이 곤란하여 대부분 인력에 의한 선별용 자(scale)를 이용하여 선별하고 있어서 선별 작업에 많은 노력과 경비가 들뿐만 아니라 선별작업의 정밀도가 떨어지고 있는 실정이다.

Bulbs of Lilium Oriental hybrids cv. 'Casablanca' and 'Marco Polo' were grown in a plastic house in alpine area of Pyongchang Kangwondo. Saw-dust, black film, reflective film, transparent film, and white/black double film were used as mulching materials to ascertain the growth of foliage, the quality of flower, and the size of bulbs. Foliage weights of both lilies were higher when lilies were grown with mulching materials than control. There were no differences of bulb weight among the control and mulching treatments, except delayed bulb growth in black film and white/black double film. Mulching cultivation with saw-dust and reflective film stimulated foliage growth, root growth and bulb production, but black film delayed the growth and development. Transparent and white/black double films showed no effects on foliage growth and bulb development than the control. As mulching materials tended to delay lily growth, including foliage and bulb, an extension of growing term might be better to produce high quality lilies than common cultivation in alpine area.
