Regulation of organ differentiation by growth regulators was investigated through the shoot-tip and bulb-scale cultures of Lilium longiflorum (cv Georgia). When shoot tips were placed on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA alone or 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0.1 mg/L BA, axillary shoots were proliferated. Root diffentiation and growth were stimulated on the basal medium. Although growth regulation did not seem to be necessary when bulb scales were used as explants for shoot differentiation, its differentiation was promoted vigorously by 0.2 mg/L NAA, but suppressed by BA. Bulblets were formed from bulb-scale-derived plantlets cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L IBA. And more bulblets were formed from the plantlet in MS medium supplying 0.2 mg/L NAA with 6% than3% sucrose

Plantlet regeneration in Asteracantha longifolia(L.) Nees (Acanthaceae), a medicinal herb has been achieved from seedling explants on basal MS medium. Three different seedling explants including node, internode and leaf segments on used. Of these three explant, leaf explants gave better response for both callus mediated organogenesis and direct multiple shoot induction. Number of explants showing differentiation of shout buds was higher on MS media supplemented with BA compared to kinetin. MS medium fortified with BA ($2.0mgl^{-1}$) and NAA ($0.5mgl^{-1}$) was found to be most suitable for both callus mediated organogenesis and elongation of shouts. The elongated shoots were successfully routed on MS medium fortified with NAA or IBA. Among them $0.1mgl^{-1}$ NAA or $0.2mgl^{-1}$ IBA provides better response for rhizogenesis. Regenerated plantlets were successfully established in soil where 85.4% or them developed into morphologically normal and fertile plants. RAPD profiling using four decamer primers confirmed the genetic uniformity of the regenerated plantlets and substantiated the efficacy and suitability of this protocol for in vitro propagation of A. longifolia.

For the germination and differentiation of immature embryos obtained by artificial crossing between tetraploid grape 'Fujiminori' (Vitis vinifera ${\times}$ V. labruscana) and triploid 'Summer Black' (V. labruscana ${\times}$ V. vinifera), were incubated in vitro using MS medium supplemented with $GA_3$ or coconut water (CW) at various concentrations. The percentage of embryo formation of 'Fujiminori' ${\times}$ 'Summer Black' was 64.3%. Embryo germination percentage was higher than 95% in all the $GA_3$ treatments at the concentrations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.25, and $1.25mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. However, only 15.8-31.6% of the germinated embryos successfully developed into normal plantlets. At higher concentration of $GA_3$, the plantlets developed infirm hypocotyls with over elongated and less enlarged structure. Among the treatments of CW at the concentrations of 5, 10, 15, and 20% (v/v), 10% and 15% were more effective and plantlet achievement percentage were 68.4 and 66.7%, respectively. The addition of 10% CW was most effective to obtain plantlets with optimal shoot length, node and root numbers. 15% CW was suitable to obtain plantlets with longer roots. Accordingly, the embryo culture using the MS medium supplemented with 10-15% CW was observed to be more efficient for germinating and growing the immature embryos produced from artificial crossing between tetraploid grape 'Fujiminori' and triploid 'Summer Black'.

This experiment was conducted out to investigate the effect of plant growth regulators on callus and shoot formation. The callus formation was effective on 1/2 MS medium containing 2,4-D, while shoot formation was suppressed. Shoot formation and differentiation were the highest in combination 0.1 mg/L of IAA and 0.1 mg/L of BA. The polarity of explants was investigated from cotyledon, which excised 20% of each basal and terminal parts. Formation of shoot was induced from excised ends of the basal part. In excised ends of the basal part, callus was induced vigorously and shoots were produced lately. Root induction was easily achieved in 1/3 MS medium from the adventitious shoot and more than 90% of regenerated plantlets acclimatized successfully and flowered normally.

Chinese foxglove (Rehmannia glutinosa) is receiving much attention as one of the principal medicinal crops and the crude drug damand expands rapidly.This study was conducted to obtain the basic breeding information of Chinese foxglove. Effects of supplemental plant growth regulators were investigated on leaf tissue for proliferation. 100% callus formation, 31% plantlet regeneration and 6% root differentiation were obtained by adding 0.5 mg/L NAA and 2.0 mg/L BA. 2,4-D and Zeatin treatment also resulted in 95% increase in callus formation, but shoot was not formed. During the subculture, callus propagation rate recorded 15.4% with 0.2 mg/L NAA and 1.0 mg/L BA and plant regeneration improved on MS medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L kinetin. The number of shoot formed ranged from 1.7 on WPM medium to 3.4 on MS medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L BA. Supplementation of 1.0 g/L activated charcoal improved the In vitro plant growth.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of timing of nutrient starvation during transplant production on growth of runner plants and yield of strawberry 'Seolhyang' (Fragaria ${\times}$ ananassa). Nutrient solution supply at the level of EC (electrical conductivity) 0.8 $dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ was terminated at interval about 10 days between July 25 and September 5. As a result, the growth of above-ground part was inhibited while root growth increased when the nutrient starvation treatment had been brought forward to July 25. It also reduced the T/R ratio significantly and chlorophyll content was tended to be lower than the other treatment. In addition, it significantly promoted the budding, flowering and harvest of first flower cluster. On the other hand, the period of harvest was delayed more than two weeks when the nutrients were continuously supplied after the middle of August. An accumulated marketable fruit yield per plant until the end of January and February was 169 and 266g, respectively in the treatment of nutrient starvation on July 25, which was 71 and 12% increase, respectively, as compared with those in the treatment of September 5. Therefore, the appropriate nutrient starvation in the late season of strawberry nursery period could be expected the increase in yield and income during the winter season by promoting the flower bud differentiation as reducing the endogenous nitrate level of the plantlet.

In this study, the induction regeneration of callus from immature embryo in trifoliata orange (Poncirus trifoliata RAFIN.) were accomplished. The embryogenic calli were induced from the immature embryo derived from seed when the calli were irradiated for 16hr at about 2,000 Lux in $\frac{1}{2}$ MS medium supplemented with 3% sucrose, and 44.4$\mu$M BA. Regeneration to whole plants was the most successful in MS medium containing 5.0$\mu$M BA. The yellowish callus was developed at 2 to 3 weeks of culture and the callus was changed from yellow to green at 5 to 6 weeks culture. In vitro regeneration was directly induced from embryogenic callus in MS medium containing 3% sucrose and 5.0$\mu$M BA. Multishoot was formed at 16 weeks culture. Moreover, when the root-formed plantlet was transplanted to soil, they grew to a whole plant. The compact cultured-cells were observed by light microscope after 4 weeks of cultivation and the embryogenic clumps were formed about the 5 weeks. At the same time, the neighboring cells were liquefied. In addition, differentiation of leaf and stem from the callus was observed after 12 weeks. The developed oil sacs and the profacicular cambium of the immature leaf were observed after 18 weeks. Therefore, we can see the considerable changes of cell arrangements according to the developmental stages of calli from trifoliata orange.
