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.

In vitro organogenesis system of the valuable ornamental species, Prunus yedoensis which is native to Korea, was established through callus culture derived from root tissues. Callus were induced on the medium supplemented with 2,4-D and BA or NAA and kinetin. Organogenesis was differ from the callus type, and NAA and kinetin combination was effective to induce organogenic callus. Growth of callus was influenced by sucrose concentrations. High level of sucrose (over 5%) had adverse effects such as decreased fresh weight and increased mortality of callus. Shoots developed from the callus when $GA_3$ was treated with BA in the medium. Results showed that $GA_3$ is essential for shoot development and elongation from callus in this species.

In this study, plant regeneration and Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation Kentucky bluegrass(Poa pratensis L.) were evaluated. Three different types of calli were produced depending on the combinations of growth regulators. They were non-friable brown or gray-colored callus (type I), compact, friable and yellow or white-colored callus (typeII), and soft, watery translucent callus with differentiated structure (typeIII). The highest regenerable organogenic callus (typeII) was obtained on the medium containing 1mg/L, 2,4-D and 0.1mg/L BA. Additionally, the production of typeII calli increased significantly when AgNO$_3$ was added to the callus induction and growth medium. The highest frequency of multiple shout formation from typeII callus was obtained on MS medium containing 1mg/L BA and 1mg/L Thidiazuron(TDZ). The organogenic calli(typeII) were inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA101 harboring the binary vector pIG121Hm with $\beta$-glucuronidase gene, and various factors were found to influence the transfer-DNA delivery efficiency. The highest transient GUS activity was observed on typeIIcallus. In the present work, we reported the first transient GUS activity of Kentucky bluegrass mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Our system may contribute to genetic improvement for breed-recalcirtrant grass species, Kentucky bluegrass.

Leaf and petiole explants of kiwifruit were cultured on MT basal medium supplimented with 2,4-D, kinetin, NAA, and BA. Higher organogenic callus formation was observed on the media with NAA + BA than on the media added with 2,4-D + kinetin. Adventitious buds were formed only on media with NAA and BA. Leaf was better explant than petiole. When callus and adventitious buds were subcultured, shoot formation responsed best on medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA + 2.0 mg/L zeatin. When shoots were cultured on medium with 0.5 mg/L IAA + 0.1 mg/L BA after soaking for 1 hr at IBA solution, rooting was more effective than non-IBA treatment. Rooted shoots developed into normal plants.

An efficient protocol for in vitro organogenesis was achieved from callus-derived immature and mature leaf explants of Momordica charantia, a very important vegetable and medicinal plant. Calluses were induced from immature leaf explants excised from in vitro (15-day-old seedlings) mature leaf explants of vivo plants (45 days old). The explants were grown on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with Gamborg (B5) vitamins containing 30 g $1^{-1}$ sucrose, 2.2 g $1^{-1}$ Gelrite, and 7.7 lM naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) with 2.2 ${\mu}M$ thidiazuron (TDZ). Regeneration of adventitious shoots from callus (30-40 shoots per explant) was achieved on MS medium containing 5.5 ${\mu}M$ TDZ, 2.2 ${\mu}M$ NAA, and 3.3 ${\mu}M$ silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$). The shoots (1.0 cm length) were excised from callus and elongated in MS medium fortified with 3.5 ${\mu}M$ gibberellic acid ($GA_3$). The elongated shoots were rooted in MS medium supplemented with 4.0 ${\mu}M$ indole 3-butyric acid (IBA). Rooted plants were acclimatized in the greenhouse and subsequently established in soil with a survival rate of 90%. This protocol yielded an average of 40 plants per leaf explant with a culture period of 98 days.

Brassinosteroids are steroidal plant hormones and are known to modulate physiological and cellular response in a wide range of plant species. Considerable insights has been achieved of the physiological role of brassinosteroid in Brassica species in the past few years, but their effect on direct organogenesis has not been extensively studied. In this sense, under optimal basal media and growth conditions we tested the cellular and organogenic response of 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) in a variable concentration (0.1 to $5.0\;{\mu}M$) and Zeatin (Z) (1.0 to $100\;{\mu}M$) and their synergic effect on hypocotyl explants of cauliflower and broccoli. The isolated EBL accelerated cell elongation and promotes direct organogenesis. One micromolar EBL + $10\;{\mu}M$ of Z was the most efficient combination for cell elongation, cell differentiation as well as for organogenesis. A suppressing effect on root induction was confirmed for all the tested hormone levels. The general results indicate a synergic effect of EBL-Z and EBL potentates Zeatin activity, at least in certain tissues. Besides de genetic factors, we can speculate that the natural hormone concentration in the explants might affect the responses by application of exogenous growth regulators. Experiments with new plant growth regulators, like brassinolide, are important aiming to maximize or accelerate plant regeneration for in vitro multiplication or for genetic transformation.

In order to investigate the effect of plant growth regulators on effective in vitro micropropagation, apical meristems of Pulsatilla cernua var. koreana were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium with 2,4-D, NAA, TDZ and BA. Media containing 2,4-D and kinetin, 2,4-D and TDZ, NAA and TDZ were not effective on callus induction. However, embryogenic or organogenic callus was obtained on media containing NAA and BA. Especially, on MS medium with 0.5mg/L NAA and 1.0mg/L BA was optimal for a high frequency (62%) of shoot or shoot bud obtained from callus. Callus proliferation, shoot multiplication and elongation were significantly increased by adding 10% coconut water on MS media with 0.5mg/L NAA and 1.0mg/L BA. Repeated subculturing of in vitro grown shoots resulted in propagation rate of 12.9 shoots per explant every 30 days. Root formation from the adventitious shoots was not easily achieved. However, roots were only produced through callus on MS medium with 2.0mg/L NAA alone or 0.5mg/L NAA and 1.0mg/L BA. These roots were used materials for callus and shoot production repetitively.

In order to obtain plantlet derived by anthers, the anthers of Lilium asiatic hybrid 'Gran Paradiso' were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with various combinations of auxin and cytokinin. The most suitable pollen stage of anther culture for the callus induction was 3 days before anthesis at the early to late binucleate stage. Organogenic calli were induced on MS medium supplemented with 5.0 mg/L 2,4-D alone and the combination of 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 1.0 mg/L kinetin, however, the combination of NAA and BA was more effective than that of 2,4-D and kinetin on plant regeneration through organogenesis. Shoots were formed from the induced callus on the medium with 0.5 mg/L NAA and 1.0 mg/L BA after 180 days of culture. Multiple shoots with 3-4 leaves, roots, and bulblets were formed on the medium with the combination of 2.0 mg/L NAA and 2.0 mg/L BA after 250 days of culture. The chromosome from root tip of the regenerated plantlet showed the diploid (2n=2x=24). Diploid plants were transferred to the pots and all plants were flowered in two years.

Hormonal requirements inducing different regeneration pathways with particular emphasis on somatic embryo-genesis in Alhagi graecorum were studied. While combination of 0.5 $\mu{M}$ 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2.5 $\mu{M}$ 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 5 $\mu{M}$ 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) in MS medium induced callus formation and callus maintenance from internodal explants, each alone or in combination with other induced distinct regeneration pathway. Adventitious bud formation was induced on MS medium supplemented with 2.5 $\mu{M}$ BAP. It was improved when 2.5 $\mu{M}$ BAP was used in combination with 5 $\mu{M}$ NAA. MS medium containing 0.5 $\mu{M}$ 2,4-D or 5 $\mu{M}$ NAA induced the formation of abnormal direct somatic embryos. While increase of 2,4-D concentration (1.125-9) resulted in the formation of viable embryogenic mass, increase of NAA did not change its effect. NAA should be used in combination with 2,4-D even at low concentration (0.5 $\mu{M}$) to form embryogenic mass. In A. gaecorum, the role of 2,4-D as trigger of somatic embryogenesis and BAP as trigger of adventitious bud formation was deduced, but for maximum yield certain auxin-cytokinin ratio should be applied. Embryogenic masses characterized by high water content, low peroxidase activity, and low number of peroxidase and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase bands in comparison with calli obtained under conditions stimulating adventitious bud formation. The resulted differential gene expression, which could be detected by native-PAGE patterns, could be used as marker for organogenic pathway in A. graecorum.

Peucedanum japonicum $T_{HUNB}$ used as a edible and medicinal plants was investigated for in uitro regeneration. Callus formation occurred on leaf and stem explant cultures and showed spontaneous embryogenic and organogenic capability on MS basal medium supplemented with 0.1~5 mg/L NAA and 0~10 mg/L BA in dark. The regeneration was highest on the condition supplemented with 2.5 mg/L NAA and 10 mg/L BA. Development of the somatic embryo progressed through the globular, heart-shaped, torpedo-shaped and cotyledonary stage, typical of zygotic embryos. When the first somatic embryos was cultured on the medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/L NAA, secondary somatic embryo were induced with higher frequency on the hypocotyl then on the cotyledon and root.t.
