In order to establish a micropropagation system for buffalo gourd (Cucurbita foetidissima ) and common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), the effects of several plant growth regulators and culture temperature on shoot multiplication and rooting were investigated. In buffalo gourd, the greatest number of shoot from shoot tip culture and well growth of formed shoot were obtained on the MIS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.3 or 0.6 mg/L IAA. Whereas kinetin and 2iP were not effective for shoot multiplication in vitro. It was found that 22$^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ were suitable for shoot multiplication. Roots were easily formed by the addition of auxins, especially 1.0 or 2.0 mg/L IBA and 2.0 mg/L IAA. Over 90% of plants survived successfully after being transferred into the field. In common milkweed, BA was more effective than kinetin or 2iP for its micropropagation in vitro. The increased shoot weight and number of nodes per shoot were obtained on the medium containing 3.0 mg/L BA and 0.3 or 0.6 mg/L IAA. But 2iP promoted the shoot elongation. In addition. common milkweed was sensitive to culture temperature in vitro. Temperature around 22$^{\circ}C$ was favorable for shoot multiplication and growth, whereas temperature higher than $25^{\circ}C$ usually reduced the rate of shoot survival rate.

Guzmania was propagated through in vitro culture of lateral shoots. When new shoots grown in greenhouse were cut and cultured in vitro, contamination rate was very high at about 80% in the first stage of in vitro culture. Among cytokinin treatments for agar medium, 2.0 mg/L BA was most effective for shoot multiplication, and those with 0.5 mg/L kinetin and 0.5~1.0 mg/L BA were favorable for shoot multiplication. BA was more effective for shoot multiplication than kinetin, and shoot multiplication was more enhanced when 2.0 mg/L BA was combined with 0.1~0.5 mg/L IAA than 2.0 mg/L BA alone. The medium with 2.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L IAA showed the highest rate of shoot multiplication with about 8.7 in shoot number, and those with 2.0 mg/L BA and 0.5~1.0 mg/L IAA also resulted in high multiplication of shoots. Shoots were multiplicated more in liquid rotation culture(80 rpm) with the medium containing 0.5 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L IAA than liquid stagnating and solid cultures. Regenerated shoots formed roots very favorably in the medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L IBA.

In sweet potato cultivars 'Mokpo #29' and 'Sanchunza', shoots from extplants were formed 100% on the MS medium with 0.1 ㎎/L NAA and 2.0 ㎎/L BA after 30 days of culture and roots produced from the base of stem at frequencies of 66.7% ('Mokpo #29') and 69.2% ('Sanchunza'), respectively, The media with 0.5∼4.0 ㎎/L BA were produced the greatest frequency of multiple shoot and the most of shoots developed rapidly into normal plantlets with rooting within 60 days of culture. Whereas the cultivar 'Keumsi' failed to produce normal shoot multiplication on the medium with cytokinins alone because of callusing of adventitious shoots. When single shoots with 1 to 2 nodes were excised from the multiple shoot or shoots covered with callus devoid of root and transferred to MS medium with 4.0 ㎎/L BA or kinetin. Host divided shoots showed the callus induction at the stem base and it was enable to obtain regenerated plantlets with shoot and root normally.

Shoot tips with 2 leaf primordia were cultured to induce shoot primordia in MS liquid medium supplemented with several concentrations of BA and hIAA under the conditions of 10,000 lux illuminations for 24 h and of vertical shaking of 2 rpm in carrot. Two F$_1$ hybrids and two male sterility lines were used. Shoot primordia were only induced in the medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L of BA and 0.2 mg/L of NAA. Genotypic specificity and seasonal effect of donor parents on shoot primordia induction were not observed and average 15-20% of the planted dornes developed to shoot primordia. The induced shoot primordia were successfully propagated by subculture in the same medium. However, they were grown into three different types during multiplication, that is, the type with multiple small shoots on the surface, the type of without any shoot, and the type of callus. Shoot primordia clusters with small shoots on the surface differentiated multiple shoots successfully in 1/2 MS solid medium supplemented with 0.2 to 1.0 mg/L of IAA and 0.2 to 1.0 mg/L of kinetin. New shoot primordia with small shoots were well formed when pieces bigger than 2 mm in diameter of the out layer of the shoot primordia cluster with small shoots were subcultured. No differences of multiplication and shooting ability and chromosomal variation of shoot primordia were observed until the 13th sub-culture.

Protocols for in vitro conservation was developed for Coleus forskohlii. Plants maintained both in field served as explant source. Shoot tips and single node cuttings were used to optimize protocols for in vitro multiplication. MS basal medium supplemented with $0.54\;{\mu}M$ naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and $8.87\;{\mu}M$ benzy-ladenine (BA) induced multiple shoots in shoot tips and nodes. Shoot multiplication was amplified with a gradual decrease of BA concentration, leading to its final omission after 4 months. Concomitant rooting on multiplication media enabled successful establishment extra vitrum. For in vitro conservation studies, experiments were carried out with 2-3 week maintained in vitro plants under standard and reduced culture conditions (SCC, RCC). In vitro plants could be successfully conserved in full strength MS medium (FMS) under SCC for 6 months without subculture with full potential to regenerate, producing viable shoots and nodes. The root production remained unaffected due to conservation, showing high rooting activity in mannitol and low temperature treatments. Preset low temperature (15 and $10^{\circ}C$) and reduction in media constituents does not appear to favour conservation, although the former accomplished conservation levels equal to (FMS) under SCC.

To establish in vitro nodal culture conditions of Echinosophora koreensis Nakai, one of rare and endangered species famous for beautiful flowers in the Korean Peninsula, the influence of plant growth regulators (PGRs) on shooting and rooting from in vitro shoots was investigated. In shoot multiplication, addition of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) to the half-strength Driver and Kuniyuki's media in the range of 2.22 to 8.88 ${\mu}M $induced 2.5 to 2.7 shoots per axillary bud; and addition of 2.27 ${\mu}M $ thidiazuron (TDZ) produced 3.2 shoots, during 4 weeks of culture, while zeatin and isopentenyl adenine (2ip) were not effective on shoot multiplication as observed from several combination treatments of BA with other PGRs. Shoots established were smaller than 2 cm in length, in most of the treatments. while in BA 8.88 ${\mu}M $ treatment more than 30% of shoots were longer than 2 cm and shorter than 4 cm. In rooting, naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) from 5.37 to 21.48 ${\mu}M $ showed the rooting rate from 40.0 to 62.5%. Indole butyric acid (IBA) addition had little effect on rooting (<10%), although some roots in IBA-containing media were longer than those in NAA. Micropropagation from axillary buds of nodular explants was applicable and promising to multiplication and conservation of Echinosophora koreensis Nakai.

The most effective cytokinin for shoot multiplication in vitro of Prunus persica cv. Baekmijosaeng, Okubo, and Yumyeong was 2.0 mg/L BA. As the result of combinational treatment of BA and auxin sources (IAA, IBA and NAA), 2.0 mg/L BA with 1.0 mg/L IAA was the most effective for shoot multiplication of cv. Baekmijosaeng. The most effective auxin source for rooting was IAA and the concentration was 5.0 mg/L and 3.0 mg/L for cv. Baekmijosaeng and Okubo, respectively.

The shoot tips of Delphinium cv. Princess Caroline were cultured on the MS medium supplemented with cytokinin and auxin alone or in combination. Among cytokinins, BA was most effective in shoot multiplication, adequqte concentrations being 1.0-5.0 mg/L. Shoot multiplication was very favorable on the media with 1.0-3.0 mg/L BA and 0.1-0.5 mg/L IAA. Additions of BA and IAA did not stimulate shoot multiplication, but increased a little fresh weight. Shoots were scarcely rooted on the media with IBA or NAA, and were not done utterly on the media containing activated charcoal. Therefore, shoots were treated by Rootone and planted in the cultural media for in vivo rooting. The highest rate of rooting was 68% in the mixed cultural medium composed of Perlite 1 and Vermiculite 1.

An efficient method for the rapid propagation of Smilax china from axillary buds was established. Plants with thick leafage were selected from Korea native S. china population. Axillary buds of S. china collected from selected plant and were cultured in various culture media (2MS, MS, 1/2MS, WPM, B5 and SH medium). Shoot was induced from axillary bud on MS basal medium after 4 weeks of culture. 1/2MS medium showed a higher growth rate than those of the others, while the lowest shoot growth was obtained in 2MS medium. Among the sucrose concentrations, 5% sucrose was the optimum level for shoots growth from axillay buds. Among cytokinins, $0.5mgL^{-1}$ 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) treatment showed the best performance on shoot multiplication, yielding average shoot multiplication forming about 2.4. Rooting was induced directly near the base of the shoot on 1/2MS medium containing with three-auxins ${\alpha}-napthalene$ acetic acid (NAA), indole acetic acid (IAA) and ${\beta}-indolebutyric$ acid (IBA) (0.5 and $1.0mgL^{-1}$). The $1.0mgL^{-1}$ IBA treatments induced earliest rooting with maximum of root number and root growth. These rooted plantlets were successfully transferred to pots for 4 weeks hardening process, and were transferred to soil with above 90% survival rate.
