This study was conducted to investigate the optimal plant growth regulator level for the shoot formation of Lycium chinense Mill. In vitro plant propagation was developed for leaf explants of boxthorn. Leaf explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with cytokinins (BA and 2-iP) alone. Plants were successfully regenerated through in vitro culture by using leaf explants of boxthorn grown in the field. After 4 weeks of culture, 58% of shoot formation had developed from the leaf explants. The shoot formation rate of 'Jangmyeong' was highest followed by 'Myeongan', ;Cheondae', and 'Bullo'. The use of 0.2mg/L BA was critical for enhanced production of shoot formation and resulted in 58% of the culture producing shoot formations. Regenerated plantlets transplanted to pots were developed and successfully acclimatized to greenhouse.

The aim of this study was to develop an effective production system of blueberry plants by using tissue culture technique. Murashige and skoog medium (MS) and woody plant medium (WPM) were compared for shoot formation of highbush blueberries. Also medium supplemented with zeatin/2-isopentenyl adenine (2iP)/benzyl aminopurine (BA) (1, 2/10, 15/4, $6mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$)and zeatin/2iP/BA (0.5/10, 15/$0.05mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) as plant growth regulators to determine the effect of shoot formation and shoot proliferation, respectively. The shoot explants cultured on WPM showed higher shoot formation rates, more number of nodes, and longer root length than those on MS medium during the primary culture. Shoots were not formed when the explants were cultured on the medium without plant growth regulators or on only BA. The shoot explants cultured on the medium supplemented with 2iP showed low rates of shoot formation. On the other hand, zeatin was the most effective for shoot formation and growth of the explants. Also influence of different cytokinins (zeatin, 2iP) on the shoot proliferation of subcultured shoot explants was studied. There was no significant difference among the different concentrations of zeatin in the rate of shoot formation and number of shoots. However at higher concentration of zeatin, number of nodes was increased, and shoot length was shorted. The proper concentrations of zeatin for shoot propagation in subculture were found to be $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of thidiazuron(TDZ) on callus and shoot primordia formation, to determine the most optimum multiple shoot induction medium, and to obtain the plantlets on solid medium via shoot organogenesis. TDZ 0.01 mg/L in MS medium was most effective on callus formation, and BA 0.1 mg/L was most effective on shoot growth, while TDZ 0.01 mg/L was most effective on callus formation. TDZ 0.001 mg/L was most effective in shoot primordia formation. Shoot tips were cultured with TDZ 0.01 mg/L for 8 weeks and induced callus was transferred to regeneration medium containing TDZ 0.001 mg/L. After 4 weeks induced shoot primordia were resubcultured at growth regulator-free medium for 4 weeks. The induced multiple shoots rooted more efficiently at NAA 1.0, 5.0 mg/L, or IBA 5.0 mg/L.

This study was carried out to determine factors affecting on the mass propagation of Rehmannia glutinosa seedlings in bioreactor culture. Air-lift type bioreactor was more compatible to shoot formation than stirrer type. Fifty grams(90 stem explants) of inoculum in 1.5L medium was placed into 2.5L bioreactor with aeration rate of 0.5 v.v.m., which was proper for effective shoot formation. Adding MES as pH buffer to culture medium increased the numbers of shoot formation. Adding 5g/l of anti-vitrifying agent into culture medium was highly effective for diminishing the rate of vitrification in shoots formed.

Leaf explants of the cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations of $\alpha$-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Direct shoot orgnogenesis as well as callus formation with somatic embryos and multiple shoots was observed from leaf explants of cvs. Shinhukjinju and Chungjang. The highest frequency of shoot formation 80% was observed on MS medium supplemented with NAA/BAP (5.0 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/2.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), with explants forming 3-7 shoots. Shoots formation occured within 3 to 4 weeks. Only one subculture of calli was required for plant regeneration on normal growth regulator-free medium. Plantlets transferred to soil developed into plants of normal appearance, which flowered and set fruits.

Loaves, stems, cotyledons, and roots of Hovenia dulcis Thunb grown in test tube were cultured on media containing different concentrations of single or combined growth regulators. In MS media containing 2mg/ι BA, the shoot formation rate was 95.5% and it was the highest frequency of shoot formation. MS media showed most efficiency in the shoot formation at 0.01mg/ι TDZ for the callus formation, but the color of callus changed to brown at a higher concentration of TDZ. Callus formation was 89.% at 0.5mg/ 2.4-D, but IAA, IBA, and NAA were not effective on the formation of callus. Calli were formed only on wound area when IAA, IBA, and NAA were added into MS media. Combined growth regulators (BA + auxin) were more effective in roots and nodes than leaves and cotyledons on the formation of shoot. More than 97％ of shoot formation was obtained on MS media containing BA and auxin. For the production of multiple shoot, nodes of Hovenia dulcis were used and effect of growth regulators on the formation of multiple shoot was evaluated on MS media. Highest shoots (5.3) of Hovenia dulcis were induced on MS media supplied with 0.1mg/ι BA and 0.1mg/ι NAA, and an average of 6.4 shoots per explant were obtained in 1/2 MS media containing same concentration and growth regulators. An average of 7 shoots per explant after 4 weeks of culture from nodes of Hovenia dulcis was produced on a woody plant medium(WPM) containing 0.1mg/ι BA and 0.1mg/ι NAA. Shoot length was 6.0 cm in average.

The genotypic (2n, 3n, 4n) response of watermelon in vitro shoot tip culture was evaluated. Different genotypes had similar response in terms of shoot formation and growth. Shoot formation was better at lower concentration of 0.3 mg/L BA and higher concentration of 5-10.0 mg/L 2iP and kinetin, but growth of newly formed shoot was inhibited. With further subculture, kinetin did not promote shoot formation Better shoot formation was observed at 0.3-0.5 mg/L BA. Combination of 0.3 mg/L BA and 0.3-0.5 mg/L BA was effective in shoot multiplication, growth and induction of more internodes. Varrying levels of light intensity and agar concentration did not affect the performance of tetraploid plants. Higher light intensity and agar concentrations decreased the number of shoot formed in triploid plane. Growth in both genotype, however was inhibited. Higher light intensity was found to promote leaf senescence in all genotypes. All growth inhibitors decreased the number of shoots formed and slowed plant growth there by prolonging duration of cultures. Growth inhibitors were to observed to decrease incidence of hyperhydricity in culture. No difference in shoot formation was observed in each of the concentrations used in Ancymidol, TIBA, CCC and PP333. Shoot formation and growth was more inhibited in ABA treatments. Leaf expansion and growth was poor in all treatments.

To acquire the normal regeneration of plantlets, we investigated combinations and concentrations of plant growth regulations for optimal conditions of adventitious root formation. Based on the previous study, we performed callus and shoot induction. When induced shoot was transferred into a rooting medium containing plant hormones, it wilted and died. Thus, the shoot proliferated on 1/2 MS medium for 10 days and was then treated with MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/L NAA for 3 days. Adventitious root formations were observed after shoot planlets were transferred to 1/3 MS medium. The concentrations of salt and sucrose were gradually reduced in MS medium and the rooted plantlets were transferred for acclimatization into a mixture of peatmoos : perlite (3 : 2).

Callus and shoot formation of leaf explants from in vitro propagated shoots and field grown plants depending on the position of leaf, and four boxthron cultivars were investigated. Callus formation of explants from both in vitro shoot and field grown plants as easily achieved at the cut surfaces of explants but the callus formed from leaf of in vitro shoots was hardened as the duration of culture was proceed. Calli were effectively induced from leaves detached from the middle position of both in vitro and in vitro plants on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L NAA with 0.2 mg/L BA, and the growth of calli were better in field grown leaves than in vitro grown leaves. Shoot formation were effectively induced from leaves detached from the upper position in vitro plants, and the middle parts of in vitro plants on MS medium containing 0.01 mg/L (NAA with 0.2 mg/ BA. There was difference on the frequency of shoot formation among four different cultivars; 'Jindojaerae' was the best for shoot formation followed by 'Cheonyang', 'Younghagukija' and 'Cheongyangjaerae'.
