An efficient plant regeneration system in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) through somatic embryogenesis was established. Embryogenic callus was obtained by culture of hypocotyl segments on MS medium with 0.02mg $L^{-1}$ IAA and 1.0mg $L^{-1}$ zeatin after 45 days of culture. Embryogenic calli were converted to the somatic embryos when transferred to either MS medium without plant growth regulators (PGRs) or MS medium containing various cytokinin (BA, kinetin and zeatin). Most of the somatic embryos were developed into plantlets on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg $L^{-1}$ kinetin. Also, secondary embryos appeared on the surface of primary embryo but they showed abnormal growth. Regenerated plantlets were transplanted to pots containing vermiculite and perlite for further analysis.

This study was conducted to obtain the basic breeding information of Colocasia esculenta Schott. Effect of supplemental plant growth regulators and genotype difference were investigated on dormant bud tissue for proliferation. The plant regeneration ratio, plant height and root length were the best upon mixed treatment of 0.8mg/L IAA and 2.0mg/L zeatin. Both leaf weight and root weight were heavy upon culture in a dark condition. The leaf and root weights were heaviest in 6Pie sucrose concentrations. In several collected area the heaviest one was Binnangxin and then in the order of Suwon, Wanju and Puan. Genotype differences of tuber diameter and tuber weight were found in Suwon. Tuber weight was found in the order of Suwon (862mg) >Wanju(723mg) >Puan(649mg) >Binnangxin (424mg).

Polyamine titers and the activities of arginine decarboxylase(ADC) and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), enzymes which catalyze rate-limiting steps in polyamine biosynthesis, were investigated during polar regeneration of Populus leaf segments. The polar regeneration occurred at the basal cut end of Populus leaf segments through cell division around the vascular bundle. In the process of polar regeneration, the titers of putrescine and spermidine increased rapidly but the content of spermine remained constant. The leaf segments were then divided into three separte part ; the proximal, middle and distal. Spermidine titers showed an increase mainly in the proximal parts where polar regeneration occurred. On the other hand, putrescine titers showed an increase in the other two parts. In the course of polar regeneration, the activities of ADC and ODC increased, the ADC activities being higher than those of ODC. However, ODC activity was higher in the proximal part. Therefore, the spermidine contents and ODC activities are suggested to be related to polar regeneration in Populus leaf segments.

As an initial step for future genetic manipulations to improve forage characteristics of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.), an efficient tissue culture system was established and the factors affecting plant regeneration were evaluated. MS medium containing 5mg/L 2,4-D was optimal for embryogenic callus induction from mature seed and had a strong effect on successive plant regeneration. The plant regeneration frequency was observed at above 70％ when embryogenic calli induced were transferred to N6 medium supplemented with 1mg/L 2,4-D and 5mg/L BA. Among several basic media tested, MS and N6 medium were optimal for callus induction and plant regeneration, respectively. Genotype was an important factor in plant regenerability. 'Jeanne' showed the highest regeneration frequency of 73％. A short tissue culture period and high-frequency regeneration system established in this study will be useful for molecular breeding of Italian ryegrass through genetic transformation.

The conditions for callus formation and plant regeneration were confirmed in birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.). Among SH (Schenk and Hildebrandt), MS (Murashige and Skoog) and N6 medium (Chu), SH medium was highest degree of efficiencies respectively in callus formation and plant regeneration. In this study, we determined volume of hormones and other compounds appended in media. For callus formation, only $3mg/{\ell}$ of 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) was appended in their media. For plant regeneration, we used BOi2Y medium (Bingham et al.). We obtained birdsfoot trefoil plants from callus by regeneration, about sixty days later transfer calli to regeneration media.

An efficient protocol for plant regeneration from protoplasts of the indica rice variety IR43 has been developed. The procedure involved plating of embryogenic suspension-derived protoplasts on the surface of a filter membrane overlaying agarose-embedded feeder cells. Lolium multiflorum cell suspensions were preferable to these of Oryza ridleyi as feeder cells and Lolium suspensions supported colony formation from up to 0.68％ of the protoplasts, depending on the age of cell suspensions. Plant regeneration frequency was significantly improved by using maltose alone or in a 1:1(w/w) combination with sucrose as carbohydrate source and a simple dehydration treatment using a high concentration of agarose in the regeneration medium. Medium containing maltose or maltose mixed with sucrose increased the plant regeneration frequency compared with medium containing sucrose alone. The plant regeneration frequency was increased to 30.7 to 70.7％ following dehydration treatment, while the non-treated controls showed a regeneration frequency of 3.1 to 30.6％. Protoplast-derived plants were transferred to the glasshouse, flowered with morphologically normal.

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.

To establish the system of in uitro plant regeneration, the leaf segments of Sedum sarmentosum were cultured on MS media supplemented with different levels of 2,4-D, NAA and BA. The callus induction and growth showed a good response on MS medium supplemented with 3.0mg/L 2,4-D and 1.0mg/L BA, but a few callus induced on medium containing NAA and BA. In plant regeneration, combination of BA and NAA promoted shoot organogenesis from callus, and the highest frequency was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 0.2mg/L NAA and 3.0mg/L BA. When calli were transferred to the plant regeneration medium containing 0.2mg/L NAA and 3.0mg/L BA, healthy shoots without hyperhydricity were continuously induced (17.2 plantlets per callus) after 50 days of culture. When regenerated plantlets were transferred onto hormone-free MS medium, rooting was easily achieved from all of them.

This study was carried out to identify varietal difference and the inheritance of the ability of plant regeneration in anther culture of rice. The anthers of 33 Japonica, 11 Indica/Japonica, and 3 Indica rice cultivars were culture on $N_6-Y$_1$$ medium with 1 mg/L NAA and 2 mg/L kinetin. The remarkable variability in plant regeneration were observed among the genotypes, ranging from 0.0% to 19.4% Most of Japonica rices were resulted to have better culturability than that of Indica/Japonica and Indica type cultivars. Newly developed Japonica rices, 'Ilmibyeo' and 'Hangnambyeo' showed to have regenerability with the frequency of 19.4% and 18.1% respectively. The segregation mode for callus formation and plant regenerationin anther culture of F$_2$ population of 'Milyang 23/Chucheongbyeo' showed a continuous variation. The variation of plant regeneration frequency in anther culture of F$_2$ plants ranged from 0% to 33.3% with a mean of 6.3% The broad-sense heritability estimated from the ability of plant regeneration was considerably high (82.7%).

In order to investigate the effects of genetic variations of orchardgrass in tissue culture response, calli were induced from mature seeds of eight varieties, 'Hapsung 2', '93E', 'Amba', 'Ambassdor', 'Frode', 'Frontier', 'Potomac' and 'Roughrider', and plant regeneration frequency was compared. Significant differences were observed among the varieties in both callus induction and plant regeneration. Callus induction rate of viable seeds varied from 24.3% to 71.7%. Plant regeneration frequency ranged from 76.6% to 29.7%. 'Roughrider' varieties showed higher regenerability with the frequency of 76.6%. These results can be used not only to provide additional improvements in the plant regeneration frequency from transgenic callus, but also useful for molecular breeding of orchardgrass through genetic transformation.
