The leaf segments of garlic (Allium sativum L.) were cultured in vitro and determined optimal concentration of plant growth regulators and sugars for callus induction, multiple shoots regeneration and in vitro bulblet formation. Highest yield of callus was observed in the leaf segment culture on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D, 30 g/L sucrose and 8 g/L agar. Regeneration rate of multiple shoots from callus was high in the MS medium supplemented with kinetin 3.0 + NAA 3.0 mg/L or SA 1.0 + NAA 3.0 mg/L, containing 30 g/L sucrose. High rate of bulblet formation was observed as the concentration of jasmonic acid increased from 0.5 to 2.0 mg/L in medium, whereas addition of gibberellic acid significantly suppressed bulblet formation. The rate of in vitro bulbing was as high as $96\%$ in MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L jasmonic acid and 120 g/l sucrose after two month culture at $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ under 16 hours day light.

This experiment was conducted to extend utility of in-vitro culture material stalk and to mass produce uniform plants in Phalaenopsis. The optimal concentration of hyponex medium and plant hormone were examined. The most effective concentration of the hyponex in the flower stalk tissue culture of Phalaenopsis was $4mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. The most effective concentration of TDZ and BA on the formation of multiple shoots in Phalaenopsis flower stalk culture was $0.3mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively. TDZ was more effective for formation of the shoots and multiple shoots than BA at the basic medium with hyponex $4g{\cdot}L^{-1}$.

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.

In vitro techniques were developed for propagating Vaccinium oldhamii using shoots with apical buds. Explants having an apical bud were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 mg/L of each zeatin, thidiazuron, 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), and 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino)purine (2-iP) in order to induce multiple shoots. Among the tested treatments, the 2.0 mg/L of 2-iP proved to be most suited for the multiplication and growth of shoots; the multiple shoot induction rate was 100.0%, the average number of shoots was 7.4 per explant, and the average shoot length was 51.7 mm. The in vitro elongated shoots were rooted on half-strength MS medium containing various concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). However, overall callus overgrowth was observed in all treatments and resulted in necrosis and abnormal shoot growth in root formation. A low concentration (0.5 mg/L) of IBA was appropriate for normal root development and the in vitro rooting rate was 30%. Ex vitro treatments on root formation using various concentrations of IBA with Talc powder and two types of rooting substrates (Flexi-Plugs or Horticultural soil) were examined. The ex vitro rooting rate (80%) and length of roots (32.9 mm) were obtained when the cut ends of the shoots were treated with 1.0 mg/L IBA and cultivated in Horticultural soil for 2 months. These findings suggest that ex vitro rooting is the more effective method for improving root formation in Vaccinium oldhamii than in vitro rooting.

Useful Dianthus species were collected and selected from two native and seven foreign species distributed in Gangwon province. For in vitro breeding,. callus was induced from the explants of apical meristem, leaf, stem and the in vitro adventitious shoots on MS basal medium with 2.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/L BA at 27$^{\circ}C$ under continuous light. After 3 weeks of culture, calli initiated the most highly from the leaf explants of D. chinensis Organogenic calli were able to be selected from the adventitious shoot-derived calli. For shoot regeneration, these organogenic calli were cultured on MS medium with the combination of 0.1 mg/L NAA＋1.0 mg/L BA under continuous light. Multiple shoots were proliferated with low frequency (about 30%) from those adventitious shootderived calli. Also, shoots initiated directly from the adventitious shoot explants without callus formation at high frequency of 52% when cultured on N6 medium containing 0.1 mg/L NAA and 1.0 mg/L BA in D. gratianopol. Multiple shoots and plantlets grew well and rooted on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA. Regenerants with well-developed roots were transferred to 8-cm pots containing vermiculite at 85% relative humidity and 27$^{\circ}C$ These plantlets were acclimatized in artificial soil mixture and transferred to the greenhouse for flowering with normal phenotypes. M28 Mutant line was selected with white flowers from 0.03M EMS-treated organogenic calli derived from in vitro adventitious shoot explants of D. chinensis and set seeds.

Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge (yellowhorn) is a woody tree in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae, native to northern China. This species has been identified as a major woody bioenergy plant for bio-diesel production because of high oil content in seed. But the flowers do not bear fruit well while the many flowers blooming. This study was performed to regenerate in vitro plantlet using adventitious shoot formation. To establish the protocol of plant regeneration, adventitious shoots formation rate in the culture of cotyledon of immature zygotic embryos was 68.6% in 1/2 MS medium with 0.5 mg l-1 BA and 3% sucrose (w/v). In the culture of cotyledons of mature zygotic embryos, induction of adventitious shoots was needed to contain high sucrose in pre-culture medium and the frequency of shoot induction was 64.4%. Multiple shoots were induced in 0.5 mg l-1 TDZ, and rooting of shoot was induced 4.0 mg l-1 IBA. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that all the regenerated plantlets were diploid.

This study was aimed to proliferate Gentiana axillariflora Leveille which is one of the important medicinal and ornamental plants, by establishment of multiple shoot formation and embryogenesis through tissue culture technique. Callus was formed on MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium supplemented with 2,4-D, CPA, but not formed with BAP. The addition of 2,4-D 2 mg/ l into the medium was effective for callus formation and the rate of callus formation was about 90%. Somatic embryos were obtained on MS medium for two months. When callus was cultured on MS medium with combination treatment of 2,4-D 0.5 mg/ l and BAP 0.5 mg/ l, the number of embryo formed was better than that of other single or combination treatments and the total numbers of embryo a were 18.8 (number of total embryo/number of explants incubated = 753/40) at mean. Callus induction from stem and node explants was increased by addition of TDZ 2 mg/ l in the presence of 2,4-D 2 mg/ l, respectively. The best result about the differentiation of shoots was obtained on MS medium added BAP 2 mg/ l from node culture. Multiple shoots from shoot apex were induced on MS medium containing BAP 1 mg/ I and TDZ 1 mg/ l , BAP 2 mg/ l and TDZ 1 mg/ l. The number of multiple shoots per one explant was above seventy plants. It was the most effective regeneration system for rapid multiplication of Gentiana axillariflora Leveille.

An efficient protocol for multiple shoot induction and plant regeneration from axillary bud culture of Magnolia 'Vulcan' was developed in the present study. Primary shoots were obtained from axillary bud explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 1.0 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). To induce multiple shoots effectively, primary shoot tips were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of BA and zeatin at 0, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/L. Of these treatments, the MS medium with 0.5 mg/L BA resulted in the highest number of shoots per explant with an average value of 5.9, and it produced the greatest shoot height at 4.8 cm after 12 weeks of culturing. In the rooting of in vitro produced shoots, the greatest percentage of explants forming roots (91.3%), number of roots per explant (9.7), and root length (2.8 cm) were obtained in half-strength MS medium supplemented with 6.0 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Regenerated plantlets were successfully acclimatized and hardened off inside the culture room with 87.5% survival rate. Plants were transferred to a greenhouse with a 97.2% survival rate. The highly efficient shoot multiplication and plant regeneration system reported herein can be used for large-scale clonal propagation of valuable Magnolia species or cultivars.

Multiple shoot induction and plant regeneration using apical bud and nodal explants of 100 year old tree of Anthocephalus cadamba, an important sacred and medicinal tree in India was achieved for the first time. Aseptic explants cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium augmented with different concentrations of BAP (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/l), when maintained for 60 days, healthy shoots were induced in presence of BAP (1 mg/l). Lower concentrations of BAP (0.1 - 0.5 mg/l) induced only one shoot per explant. Increase in number of shoots per explant was observed in presence of higher concentrations of BAP (2.5, 5.0 and 10 mg/l). However, elongation of shoots was completely inhibited. Bud break and shoot regeneration was largely associated with seasonal factors. Apical buds cultured during June to August exhibited early bud break within two weeks of initial culture. In rest of the months, bud break and shoot regeneration was very slow irrespective of the various concentrations of BAP used in the medium. Explants sourced from three different maturity levels of shoots indicated that actively growing shoots from the mother plant with 1 - 2 nodal segments was more suitable for culture initiation than the explants collected from mature shoots at dormant stage. Regenerated shoots with 2 - 3 pairs of leaves when transferred to half strength MS medium fortified with IBA (1 mg/l), 60% of the shoots induced healthy roots, indicating the possibility of large scale micropropagation.

An efficient procedure was developed for adventitious shoot bud induction and plantlet regeneration from various explants of the ten genotypes of Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) using Thidiazuron (TDZ). Among various treatments at 1.0-3.0 mg/L TDZ Induced maximum number of adventitious shoots depending upon the explant type and genotype compared to other treatments. Among the explants tested, leaf induced maximum number of adventitious shoots than the cotyledons. TDZ-mediated organo-genesis was possible in 10 pepper cultivars, the extent of the response being genotype-dependent. Of the ten genotypes tested, C. annuum cvs CA960, $G_4$ and X-235 were produced maximum number of adventitious shoots and Sell was the least, and all other genotypes gave moderate response. Elongation of multiple shoots was observed on medium supplemented with SA (0.05 mg/L) in combination of IAA (0.05 mg/L). Differences in ability for in vitro shoot regeneration and elongation depend upon the variety and explant type. The elongated shoots were success. Fully rooted on MS medium containing at 1.0 mG/L IAA. Plantlets regenerated from different explants of ten genotypes were found to be diploid (2n=24) and were devoid of any chromosomal aberrations. Regenerated plants were successfully established in soil where 85-90% of them developed into morphologically normal and fertile plants.
