With the purpose of improving ginsenoside content in adventitious root cultures of Korean wild ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer), the roots were treated with different dosages of ${\gamma}$-ray (5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 200 Gy). The growth of adventitious roots was inhibited at over 100 Gy. The irradiated adventitious roots showed significant variation in the morphological parameters and crude saponin content at 50 to100 Gy. Therefore, four mutant cell lines out of the propagation of 35 cell lines treated with 50 Gy and 100 Gy were selected on the basis of phenotypic morphology and crude saponin contents relative to the wild type control. The contents of 7 major ginsenosides ($Rg_1$, Re, $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, Rc, Rf, and Rd) were determined for cell lines 1 and 3 from 100 Gy and lines 2 and 4 from 50 Gy treatments. Cell line 2 showed more secondary roots, longer length and superior growth rate than the root controls in flasks and bioreactors. Cell line 1 showed larger average diameter and the growth rate in the bioreactor was comparable with that of the control but greater in the flask cultured roots. Cell lines 1 and 2, especially the former, showed much more ginsenoside contents than the control in flasks and bioreactors. Therefore, we chose cell line 1 for further study of ginsenoside contents. The crude saponin content of line 1 in flask and bioreactor cultures increased by 1.4 and 1.8-fold, respectively, compared to the control. Total contents of 7 ginsenoside types ($Rg_1$, Re, $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, Rc, Rf, and Rd) increased by 1.8 and 2.3-fold, respectively compared to the control. Crude saponin and ginsenoside contents in the bioreactor culture increased by about 1.4-fold compared to that the flask culture.

An efficient in vitro protocol has been established for somatic embryogenesis and plantlet conversion of Korean wild ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer). Wild-type and mutant adventitious roots derived from the ginseng produced calluses on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.3 mg/L kinetin; 53.3% of the explants formed callus. Embryogenic callus proliferation and somatic embryo induction occurred on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The induced somatic embryos further developed to maturity on MS medium with 5 mg/L gibberellic acid, and 85% of them germinated. The germinated embryos were developed to shoots and elongated on MS medium with 5 mg/L gibberellic acid. The shoots developed into plants with well-developed taproots on one-third strength Schenk and Hildebrandt basal medium supplemented with 0.25 mg/L 1-naphthaleneacetic acid. When the plants were transferred to soil, about 30% of the regenerated plants developed into normal plants.

패랭이꽃속의 분포와 개발을 위한 기초자료로 강원도에서 자생 2종과 수집가능한 7 외래종에 대한 기내배양체의 특성을 조사하였다. 캘러스의 유도를 위해 조직부위별 다양한 절편체들을 2,4-D. NAA, BA가 농도별로 처리된 MS 배지에 치상한 후, 27$^{\circ}C$ 광조건과 2.0mg/L 2,4-D와 0.5 mg/L BA의 조합배지에서 배양했을 때 3주 후 절단면에서 callus가 형성되기 시작하였으며, 패랭이꽃 (Dianthus chinensis)의 잎절편체에서 가장 양호하였다. Organogenic 캘러스의 선발은 기내에서 증식된 adventitious shoot의 절편체 유래 캘러스로부터 가능했으며 이들 캘러스를 1.0 mg/L BA와 0.1 mg/L NAA가 조합된 배지에 치상하였을 때 약 30% 정도의 shoot 형성률을 보였고 multiple shoot의 분화를 관찰할 수 있었다. In vitro에서 증식된 adventitious shoot 절편체를 1.0 mg/L BA와 0.1 mg/L NAA가 포함된 N6 배지에 치상했을 때, 캘러스 단계를 거치지 않고 직접 shoot이 형성되었고 D. gratianopol 유래 adventitious shoot 절편체는 52%의 높은 shoot 형성률을 보였다. 이들 multiple shoot로부터 재분화된 소식물체는 0.1 mg/L NAA가 포함된 MS 배지에서 뿌리가 유도되고 vermiculite가 담긴 pot에 이식 후 85% 습도하에서 활착되어 정상적인 개화된 개체를 획득할 수 있었다. 0.03 M EMS 처리된 패랭이꽃의 adventitious, shoot 절편체 유래 캘러스로부터 힌꽃의 패랭이꽃의 도연변체식물 (M23)이 분화되었으며 종자 형성이 가능하였다.

Recent identification and characterization of plant homeobox genes suggest that they play important roles in morphogenetic events. OSH1, one of the rice homeobox genes, is thought to be related to organ development since the changes of OSH1 gene expression cause morphological abnormalities of leaves by the ectopic expression and is expressed during early embryogenesis. In this experiment, the expression pattern of OSH1 was analyzedinmutants by in situ hybridization, and OSH1's potential as a molecular marker was explored. Region-specific expression of OSH1 during early embryogenesis shows that OSH1 could be used as a molecular marker for characterizing embryo mutants. Although several organless and shootless mutants showed normal expression of OSM1, some mutants exhibited abnormal expression patterns. In a minute organless cle1-1 embryo whose epidermis resembled morphologically the epithelium of scutellum, OSH1 expression was limited to a small basal region. This expression pattern suggests the gross deletion of the basal part. In a radicleless mutant, odm115, OSH1 expression was detected in a basal region instead of subcentral region of the ventral side. Together with other characteristics (short embryo and normal adventitious roots), odm115 was estimated to be derived from the deletion of basal region. Among five shootless mutants, three showed normal expression of OSH1. In the shl2 embryo, no expression of OSH1 was observed. In the shl1 embryo, however, OSH1 expression was extended to a dorsal side, indicating that SHL2 might be related to dorsoventral patterning. The above results of in situ hybrydization clearly indicate that OSH1 can be utilized as a marker for characterizing gene functions of embryo mutants.
