A successful, efficient system for multiple shoot induction and plant regeneration of soybean (Glycine max) was established. Four soybean genotypes were compared for organogenic responses on various media cultured under light conditions. The adventitious shoots (98%, 2.6 shoots/cotyledon) directly from one-day-old cotyledon after germination induced by the hormone treatment and its efficiency was higher than any other conditions. The optimal medium for the induction of multiple shoots from cotyledon in Pungsannamulkong(shoot formation rate, 98%), Lx 16 (83%) and IIpumgeomjeongkong(63%) was MS medium supplemented with 2 mg/L BAP, but for Alchankong(75%), MS medium supplemented with 1mg/L zeatin and 1mg/L IAA, 3% sucrose, 4% Phytagel. Higher root induction (88%) was observed from the shoots placed on rooting medium (hormone-free MS basal). Plantlets were transferred onto the same medium supplemented with 1% activated charcoal for further development. With this treatment, regenerated plantlets were obtained within 7-8 weeks (shoot induction for 4 weeks, rooting and shoot elongation for 3-4 weeks).

This study describes for the first time in Pinus genus a plant regeneration system via a combined pathway of somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis from immature seeds of radiata pine. Somatic embryos were obtained from embryogenic line 2162 of Pinus radiata D. Don on EDM basal medium containing $60{\mu}M$ ABA and 6% sucrose. The explants used for organogenesis experiments were either freshly collected somatic embryos or somatic embryos germinated for 1 week. Germination medium was half-strength LP medium, supplemented with 0.2% activated charcoal. Different induction periods and BA concentrations were assayed for shoot induction. After induction treatments, explants were elongated on the same medium used for germination stage. Rooting medium was quarter-strength LP medium supplemented with three different auxin treatments: $1.5mg\;L^{-1}$ 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), $1.5mg\;L^{-1}$ indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and $1mg\;L^{-1}$ IBA with $0.5mg\;L^{-1}$ NAA (MIX). The effect of the photon flux ($120mmol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ and darkness) in the first week of the explants in the rooting media was also tested. This methodology could offer an alternative to overcome some problems associated with somatic embryogenesis such as the seasonality of embryogenic tissue (ET) initiation or a low embryo production from the ET, a particularly important issue in the case of genetically transformed ETs.

An efficient method for in vitro propagation of the medicinal plant Hovenia duleis, was established. Plantlets for micropropagation of H. dulcis were obtained from in vitro germinated seeds. The effectiveness of various levels of cytokinins (BAP, Kinetin and TDZ) on multiple shoot formation from stem nodes was tested. BAP (1.0 mg/L) treatment induced highest number of multiple shoots. The growth pattern of plantlet on various culture media was undertaken. The shoot elongation was optimal on 2MS basal medium without growth regulators. The in vitro rooting ability of H. dulcis shoots was examined with two-auxins IAA and IBA. The IAA (1.0 mg/L) treatments induced earliest rooting with maximum number of roots and root growth. Rooted shoots were transferred directly to small pots with artificial soil and such established plant exhibited a normal growth pattern similar to wild plantlet.

Protoplasts were isolated from hypocotyls, cotyledons, and young leaves of Chinese cabbage grown under in vitro environmental condition. An enzyme mixture of 1% Cellulysin and 0.5% Macerozyme in combination with 0.4 M mannitol was most effective condition for protoplast isolation. The highest yield of protoplasts, 7.6$\times$10$^{5}$ protoplast/g of fresh weight, was obtained from the treatment of leaves for 12~16 hours at 27~28$^{\circ}C$ with shaking at 30 rpm. The most suitable medium for an initial cell division was K8p basal medium supplemented with 5 mg/L 2,4-D and 2 mg/L kinetin. Within 7~10 days, protoplasts derived from hypocotyl and cotyledon tissues formed cell colonies. When the cells were grown at the size of 8~10 cells, they were embedded into semi-solid medium containing 0.2% agarose. Calli derived from protoplast culture were transferred to the 100 different types of plant regeneration media, but no completely regenerated plants from inbred lines of Chinese cabbage used for this study wore obtained, though frequent rooting took place in several media tested.

Basal callus formation and leaf abscission is a problem in clonal micropropagation. We have described an in vitro clonal propagation protocol of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb (shisham) 'FRI-14' in which AgNO₃ played important role not only in mitigating problem of leaf abscission and basal callus, but also improved shoot induction and multiplication. Best induction and shoot multiplication was obtained on MS media with 1.5 mg/l 6-BAP and 10 mg/l AgNO₃ and half-strength MS media with 0.5 mg/l 6-BAP, 2 mg/l AgNO₃ and 50 mg/l Adenine sulphate whereas best ex vitro rooting was obtained with 200 mg/l IBA in pulse treatment.

Cymbidium aloifolium (L). Sw. is an exquisite epiphytic orchid of the Kolli Hills (Eastern Ghats) of Tamil Nadu in Southern India. It is fast disappearing from its natural habitats due to deforestation and low germination rate in natural habitat. In the present study, an attempt was made to germinate the seeds from un-dehisced capsule of Cymbidium aloifolium (L). Sw under in vitro condition. The seed germination and protocorm development were recorded in three different well known media namely Knudson C (KC), Half strength Murashige & Skoog (1/2 MS) and Vacin & Went (VW) media. The highest seed germination of 90% was observed KC basal media after $30^{th}$ days whereas germination percentages were 40% and 30% on 1/2 MS and VW media respectively. The well-developed protocorm were transferred to KC media supplemented with 6-Benzyl Amino Purine (BAP) and Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) where BAP (1.0 mg/l) and NAA (1.0 mg/l) together were found to be optimum for the highest shoot formation. About 90% of the shoots found to be well rooted after transfer to the KC medium differently supplemented with 1.5 mg/l Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and 1.0 mg/l Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Though rooting also took place in the two basic media but the duration was longer when compared with the hormone-supplemented media. The rooted plantlets were hardened and kept under greenhouse conditions which can be relocated in natural habitats.

The aim of this research is to establish shoot regeneration system for 'Wonhwang' pear (Pyrus pyrifolia L.) using various concentrations of 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 mg/L in combination with benzylaminopurine (BA) 3, 5, 10 mg/L. Medium containing 4.4 g/L of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with vitamins containing 8 g/L of plant agar and 30 g/L of sucrose with NAA 0.05 mg/L and BA 3 mg/L showed 13.3% of shoot regeneration rate. 'Wonhwang' showed no root growth on existing rooting media of P. pyrifolia cv. Niitaka, 'Whang-keumbae' and 'Bae Yun No. 3'. We evaluated the effect of concentration and kinds of plant growth regulators and carbon source to establish efficient rooting condition for 'Wonhwang' pear. In the result of using various concentrations of NAA 0.5 mg/L and 1.0 mg/L in combination with indolebutyric acid (IBA) 3, 5, 10 mg/L, rooting rate of 24% was observed using 1/4 Linsmaier and Skoog (LS) medium supplemented with 7.5 g/L glucose as carbon source and IBA 1.0 mg/L with NAA 1.0 mg/L.

Thuja koraiensis Nak. is a short and creeping evergreen shrub which reaches about 3 m in height and only occurs in the northeast China and in high mountains over the Korea. It's designated as a rare and endangered tree species in Korea and DD (data deficient) in Red List Category & Criteria of IUCN. This study was carried out to develop the propagation technique by cutting for conservation of genetic resources of T. koraiensis. The rooting responses of branch cuttings, obtained from hard (May) and semi-hard wood shots (August) to three plant growth regulators (PGRs), namely, IAA, IBA, and NAA applied at various concentrations (0, 100, 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000 mg/l) were examined in sand and mixed soil media. Percentage of rooting showed significant difference between cutting time, among kinds and among concentration of PGRs. The optimum cutting time was April to May in hardwood cutting. The application of IAA 1000 mg/l and NAA 500mg/l were effective in callus formation and rooting of cutting. Relatively, rooting of cutting of the control taken in May was above 93%.

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.

In recent years, river maintenance projects using natural methods have been continuously implemented in urban areas and methods emphasizing ecology are being developed and constructed in revetment areas. However, there is insufficient technical review on the hydraulic stability of those revetment methods during the event of flood. Therefore, a hydraulic analysis is necessary for the stream where revetments are applied. This study was conducted to develop an objective test method for the hydraulic stability of green revetment media. For this purpose, hydraulic model tests were performed for the green base materials for revetments. Tests were conducted using experimental devices for the hydraulic model which were installed to simulate the rapid current during the flood. Loss of soil by the hydraulic condition was compared and analyzed with that of dry green revetment media, and the evaluations were made on the corrosion resistance, tractive force, and contractile force. Test results showed that green revetment media had higher corrosion resistance in non-vegetation condition compared to dry green revetment media, and the loss of base materials by the rooting of vegetation showed significant reduction by the vegetation. In addition, results of the allowable tractive force of the base material indicated it is relatively stable in vegetation condition but scouring can occur in non-vegetation condition. Therefore, the development of vegetation in revetment areas is anticipated to be effective for the stability of revetment areas by reducing external forces interacting with the corrosion resistance and stream bank. The green revetment media in expected to contribute to the stability of revetment areas.
