Effects of growth regulators and medium components were tested for shoot multiplication and callus growth from shoot explants of black locust. During shoot multiplication, callus growth at the cut end of shoot explants proceeded shoot development. The basal callus growth seemed to be a function of both mineral components and cytokinin supplemented in the medium. Maximum callus growth was induced by 0.5${\mu}$M BAP and the callus growth decreased as the level of BAP increased. Positive correlations were found between basal callus growth, and shoot multiplication and growth. Shoot multiplication was greatest on BSM medium (black locust shoot culture medium) supplemented with 1 $\mu$M BAP. With medium containing high nitrogen content, both shoot multiplication and growth were significantly enhanced. A new BRM medium was the most effective for rooting of black locust among three rooting media tested.

This experiment was carried out to determine the effects of genotyes (cultivars) and kinds of cytokinins and concentrations on shoot multiplication of roses (Rosa hybrida) by nodal culture. The results from this study were summarized as follows. Shoot multiplication was significantly affected by genotypes. Most shoots were produced from 'Carl Red 'rather than two other cultivars, 'Golden Emblem' and 'Tineke'. Among 3 cytokinins, BA was more significantly effective for multiplication than two other cytokinins, 2iP and kinetin. However subsequent shoot growth after multiplication was more enhanced by 2iP and kinetin rather than BA. An optimal concentration of cytokinin for shoot multiplication was 1 mg/L in this study but BA at 1-5 mg/L was considered optimal for multiplication ratio itself. Subsequent shoot growth was significantly inhibited by increases in cytokinin concentrations, regardless of kinds of cytokinin.

The rheological and diffusion properties of blends of agar/guar gum, agar/Phytagel and Phytagel/guar gum were analysed and compared to those properties of agar or Phytagel applied alone at two different gelling concentrations. Moreover, their effects on the shoot multiplication of the apple scion Galaxy and two black locust clones (SF63, SF82) were studied, and their cost benefits over agar were calculated. Elastic hydrogel formation was demonstrated for each blend by rheological measurements, but the gel strength depended on the types and concentrations of the applied gelling agents and blends. Guar gum was able to speed the diffusion in the different blends, and diffusion was independent of gel strength. The rate of shoot multiplication increased (to 8.9 shoots per explant) and the percent of hyperhydrated shoots decreased (to 12%) when the blend of agar/guar gum was used for the shoot multiplication of apple. Similarly, the highest multiplication rates of black locust clones (between 3.9 and 4.1) were obtained on media solidified by blends containing guar gum. The best shoot performance with the lowest percent of hyperhydrated shoots (11-12% in SF63 and 2-23% in SF82) was achieved using agar alone or the agar/guar gum blend. The shoot multiplication was improved of both species and the production cost was reduced by 42% by using the agar/guar gum blend.

An effective in vitro multiplication method was developed for clones of Populus davidiana Dode. Ten different media were tested for their effect on shoot multiplication. Both MS and LP medium with 0.2mg/l BAP appeared to be the best for the shoot multiplication with the rate of 9 shoots per explant. There were significant differences among the clones in both multiplication rate and shoot growth. While some clones did not require BAP to promote shoot formation, others did. More than 60% of in vitro shoots rooted on the half-strength GD medium containing 0.2mg/l IBA.

In vitro shoot regeneration of gladiolus in three different culture systems, viz., semi-solid agar (AS), membrane raft (MR), and duroplast foam liquid (DF) cultures was evaluated following the kinetics of shoot multiplication and hyperhydricity at optimized growth regulator combinations. Compared to the AS system, matrixsupported liquid cultures enhanced shoot multiplication. The peak of shoot multiplication rate was attained at 18 days of incubation in the MR and DF systems, whereas the maximum rate in the AS system was attained at 21 days. An early decline in acceleration trend was observed in liquid cultures than the AS culture. The hyperhydric status of the regenerated shoots in the different culture systems was assessed in terms of stomatal attributes and antioxidative status. Stomatal behavior appeared to be normal in the AS and MR systems. However, structural anomaly of stomata such as large, round shaped guard cells with damage in bordering regions of stomatal pores was pronounced in the DF system along with a relatively higher $K^+$ ion concentration than in the AS and MR systems. Antioxidative status of regenerated shoots was comparable in the AS and MR systems, while a higher incidence of oxidative damages of lipid membrane as evidenced from malondialdehyde and ascorbate content was observed in the DF system. Higher oxidative stress in the DF system was also apparent by elevated activities of superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, and catalase. Among the three culture systems, liquid culture with MR resulted in maximum shoot multiplication with little or no symptoms of hyperhydricity. Shoots in the DF system were more prone to hyperhydricity than those in the AS and MR systems. The use of matrix support such as membrane raft as an interface between liquid medium and propagating tissue could be an effective means for rapid and efficient mass propagation with little or no symptoms of hyperhydricity.

Spathiphyllum floribundum cv. Cupid was micropropagated on LS medium containing various growth regulators. Shoot tips were cultured on media with different concentrations of thidiazuron (TDZ) or banzyladenine (BA). The medium containing 2.0 mg/L BA was most effective on the shoot multiplication and the formation of adventitious multi-shoot cluster from shoot tips among the different concentrations of TDZ and BA. The combined treatments of BA and paclobutrazol (PBZ) were stimulated the shoot multiplication and the formation of adventitious mu]ti-shoot clusters from shoot tips compared to the ones of BA alone. The adventitious multi-shoot clusters were culled with 5∼7 mm in size and cultured on media with BA or thidiazuron (TDZ). Shoot multiplication and shoot cluster proliferation from the shoot clusters were very favorable on media supplemented with 2.0∼3.0 mg/L BA. The shoots grew and rooted out vigorously on media with 2.0∼3.0 mg/L IBA. The rooted plantlets were acclimatized in the soil mixed with a rate of vermiculite 1 and perlite 1, and survived more than 95% in greenhouse.

A protocol is described for rapid multiplication of Zanthoxylum piperitum DC. (Rutaceae), an important aromatic and medicinal plant, through shoot-tip explant cultures. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations of N-6-benzyladenine (BA), N-6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and thidiazuron (TDZ), in single or in combination with ${\alpha}-naphthaleneacetic$ acid (NAA), was used to determine the rate of shoot proliferation. N-6-benzyladenine (BA) used at 0.5mg/l, was the most effective in initiating multiple shoot proliferation at the rate of 23 microshoots per shoot-tip explants after 40 days of culture. Shoot multiplication increased 1.2-fold in each successive subculture. Induction of rooting (98%) was achieved by transferring the shoots to the same basal medium containing 2 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Plantlets went through a hardening phase in a controlled growth chamber, prior to in vivo transfer. These results represented that possible application for the mass production of plantlets through in vitro culture system of Zanthoxylum piperitum DC.

Freesia has been an important worldwide cut flower because of its fragrance, long vase life and the wide color range of the flower. The conventional propagation methods by seeds and corms have many disadvantages such as shorter inflorescences with fewer numbers of florets, a reduction in cut flower quality and the accumulation of plant viruses in corms by successive cultivation. Therefore, the conventional propagation systems in Freesia needs to be replaced with tissue cultures to overcome the disadvantages. This study explored an efficient multiplication protocol using the combination of plant growth regulators (PGRs) for developed cultivar 'Sunny Gold'. The combination between 6-benzylaminopurin (BA) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) did not produce new shoots but developed enlarged roots. BA only treatments and the combination between BA and kinetin treatments were effective on shoot multiplication. The highest average number of shoots was 5.3 in the presence of 3 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L kinetin. To produce corms and cormlets, proliferated shoots were subcultured on 1/2 Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 90 g/L sucrose, 1 g/L charcoal and 7 g/L plant agar and placed at 4℃ in the dark for 6 months. The small size of corms and comlets were produced. The average number of regenerated comlets was 2.75 per shoot. The results showed that shoot multiplication is more efficient than cormlet regeneration for in vitro freesia proliferation.

This study was conducted to establish practical micropropagation of jujube cultivars ('Geumsumg', 'Bokjo') by axillary bud culture. The results are summerized as follows : 1. Addition of activated charcoal to half-strength Murashige and Skoog(MS) medium supplemented with 0.5mg/l benzylaminopurine(BAP) enhanced shoot and root growth. At 500mg/l activated charcoal level 'Geumsung' showed best result, and shoot length and the number of multiple shoot were 6.4cm and 10.0, respectively. At 1,000mg/l activated charcoal level 'Bokjo showed best result, and shoot length and the number of multiple shoot were 7.5cm and 12.4, respectively. 2. As indole-3-butyric acid(IBA) concentration increased, rooting and callus growth of microshoot were enhanced. The optimum IBA concentration for shoot elongation and multiplication was 1.0mg/l. 3. Growth responses of shoot-tip and axillary bud segments between two jujube cultivars were different. 'Geumsung' showed that axillary bud explants were about twice better than shoot-tip explants for shoot multiplication, but 'Bokjo' showed that shoot-tip explants mere better than axillary bud explants for shoot elongation and multiplication. 4. In acclimatization processes of plantlets produced in vitro, the survival of plantlets with only root primordia in soil medium was better than that of plantlets with several routs resulting in 97.8%. 5. In cutting of in vitro-derived microshoot, paclobutrazol was more effective than IBA, naphth-aleneacetic acid(NAA) and $Rooton^{(R)}$ in rooting and root growth.
