This study was conducted to examine the effect by different types and concentrations of auxin on the rooting and growth of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cv. Maehyang) cuttings in the greenhouse. The NAD (1-naphthylacetamide), IBA (indole-3-butyric acid), and IAA (3-indoleacetic acid) were applied with a 1 hour soaking as 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg·L-1, respectively. The non-treatment was set as the control. The cuttings of strawberry were transplanted in the strawberry seedling tray filled with coir medium on June 4, 2020. The humidification was carried out for 2 weeks. The average relative humidity, daytime temperature, and nighttime temperature inside the humidification tunnel was 63.4 ± 15%, 29.3 ± 5℃, and 16.2 ± 5℃, respectively. There was no significant difference in rooting rate on the control, IBA, and IAA treatments. However, significantly low rooting rates were observed in NAD treatments. The survival rates were significantly higher in the control and IBA with 50 mg·L-1 than in other treatments. The number of leaves was the highest in IBA with 100 mg·L-1. The root length was the longest in the control. More number of roots were counted in IAA with 100 and 150 mg·L-1. The dry weight of root was the heaviest in the control. The total root length, root surface, number of root tips, and number of root forks were significantly higher in the control. As a result, control, IAA, and IBA showed similar shoot and root growth. However, NAD showed the worst root and shoot growth. Consequently, compared with IAA and IBA, NAD was not appropriate plant growth regulator of rooting for cutting propagated strawberries.

This study was carried out to establish a mass production of normal somatic embryos of Oenanthe iavanica (BL.) DC. including examination of nitrogen and sucrose sources, and ABA concentration. Embryogenic cell clumps and embryos were formed on the MS medium devoid of growth regulators. Proliferation of embryogenic cells and clumps was enhanced by 2, 4-D. Meanwhile embryo growth and development occurred on the media containing NAA and IBA. Growth of embryos was generally good in the media containing both 20 mM $KNO_3$ and 20 mM $NH_4NO_3$. The rate of shoot forming embryos was higher on the media containing on1y 20mM $NH_4NO_3$ than on the former. Addition of sucrose at 3-6% enhanced the embryo development, and normal embryos with short hypocotyl was observed on the medium containing $10\mu\textrm{M}$ ABA. Embryogenic cell clumps or globular embryos, when transferred to MS solid media devoid of growth regulators, developed into mature embryos and then into plantlets which had entire primary leaves like zygotic seedlings.

An experiment was conducted to measure rooting and growth of cuttings of rose as affected by cutting length, number of leaflets and cutting position. Test plants were two cultivars of Rosa hybrida 'Red Sandra'(standard) and 'Little Marble'(miniature). Cutting length was 4, 7 or 10cm for 'Red Sandra' and 3, 5 or 7 cm for 'Little Marble'. The number of leaflets left on the five-leaflet leaf was 0, 2, 4 or 5. The cutting position on the stem was between $1{\sim}2,\;3{\sim}4,\;5{\sim}6\;or\;7{\sim}8$ nodes from the shoot tip, which have five leaflet leaves. The most efficient cutting length was 7cm in both cultivars. Treatment with all leaflets left and cutting position at $1{\sim}2$ nodes resulted in good rooting ratio for both cultivars.

The application of bioreactor culture techniques for plant micropropagation is regarded as one of the ways to reduce production cost by scaling-up and automation. In an attempt to optimize mass proliferation systems in Eucalyptus pellita, four types of bioreator systems including temporary immersion system with or without net were tested. Highest growth was achieved with 30-min flushes of medium at every 4-h intervals in TIN (temporary immersion with net) system. Results indicate over three-fold increase in shoot growth with the TIN system when compared with TIX (control: temporary immersion without net) system which is without net in bioreactor. Furthermore, plants produced from the TIN system increased total chlorophyll content, chlorophyll a/b and dry matter, giving higher yields of acclimatized plants. Our findings suggest that plantlet growth increases with appropriate exposure to media at correct intervals, as well as use of net for maintaining aerobic condition in the vessels. The TIN system thus has great potential for in vitro mass production of Eucalyptus clones commercially.

Calanthe striata f. sieboldii Decne. ex Regel is a terrestrial orchid with beautiful flowers arranged in racemose inflorescences. This species is threatened due to over-collection and loss of suitable habitats. Asymbiotic germination is useful in the conservation efforts to re-establish plants in the wild, and for commercial propagation. In this study, we investigate the effects of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), three types of culture media (Phytomax Orchid Maintenance - POM, Seed Germination Maintenance - SGM, and Murashige and Skoog 1962 - MS), and plant growth regulators on embryo swelling, protocorm formation, and embryo diameter of C. striata f. sieboldii. Treatment with 1% NaOCl for 30 min greatly enhanced embryo swelling (28.3%), embryo diameter ($205.8{\mu}m$), and embryo protocorm formation (54.8%) compared to seeds without NaOCl treatment (embryo swelling 8.5%, embryo diameter $14.6{\mu}m$, and protocorm formation 13.4%) on POM medium. Protocorm formation on POM medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L N6-benzyladenine (BA) (95.6%) was better than the control (54.5%). Additionally, the effects of activated charcoal (AC) and sucrose on seedling growth in in vitro culture were examined. The protocorm converted into healthy plants with well-developed shoot primordia on the POM medium with AC and sucrose. The most suitable conditions for seedling growth after 10 weeks of culture were the POM medium with AC or sucrose. These results show effective asymbiotic seed germination and in vitro seedling growth of C. striata f. sieboldii.

The aim of this study was to establish the condition of regeneration for white balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum DC. cv. Jangback) and to manage for the raising of seedling with in vitro regenerated plants. It was examined that 0.5 mg/L of NAA and 1.0 mg/L of BA was the best composition for the callus and shoot induction (up to 600%). NAA was better than IBA for the induction of root and it took 16.9 days for the induction of rooting on the MS soild media containing 0.5 mg/L of NAA and the final rooting ratio was up to 75%. Out of 5 different bed soils purchased from local market, "Tosil" was identified to be the best for the acclimation and growth of in vitro regenerated balloon flower. In detail, on 8 weeks after planting of in vitro regenerated plants in pots containing "Tosil" bed soils, the plant hight was increased up to 2-fold (12.8 cm), 3.5-fold (27) for the number of leaf and 1.5-fold (4.5 cm) for the leaf length when compared to the other four bed soils, respectively. Our preliminary results indicate that it is possible to prevent the occurrence of blue balloon flower in the massive cultivated area of white balloon flower by providing the seedlings raised from in vitro regenerated plants.

The main objective of this research was to improve rooting of M.9 apple rootstock through layering time, shading, layering material and water content of the layering part. Among the treatments, rooting was improved by mother plant shading or an earlier covering (layering in shoot length 2 cm) of shoots. Rooting and root growth of sawdust, chaff or vermiculite treatments were significantly higher than those of the control (soil). In the study of layering material water content, -40 kPa treatment increased rooting ratio, number of roots and root growth compared to -60 kPa treatment and control. These results suggest that early-covering, layering with sawdust, chaff, or vermiculite, and keeping the water content in the layering part at -40 kPa could improve rooting and root growth in M.9 rootstock propagation.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum medium and humidification period for the strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cv. Maehyang) cutting seedling production. The cuttings were planted in coir (CO), rockwool (RW), phenolic foam (PF), and organic foam medium (OFM) with fogging treatment in 0, 3, 6, 9, or 12 days on February, 2019. And, as the field verification examination research, cuttings were planted in CO, RW, PF, and OFM, with misting treatment in 0, 6, 9, 12, or 15 days on June, 2019. In fogging treatments, rooting and survival rates of seedlings tended to increase with longer fogging periods, and rooting and survival rates were showed significantly higher in CO medium with more than 9 days of fogging periods. In misting treatments, rooting rate was significantly higher in CO and RW medium with more than 9 days of misting periods, and survival rate was significantly higher with more than 12 days of misting periods. There was no significantly difference by growth medium and humidification period in shoot and root growth. Therefore, when considering the rooting and survival rate the CO medium with 9 days of humidification period could be beneficial for the production of the 'Maehyang' strawberry cutting seedlings.

Developmental micropropagation method and somatic embryogenesis for hybrid poplars, Populns ehrarnericana Eco28, P. nigra ${\times}$ P. moximowiczii 62-9, were established using nodule culture system. Calli of Eco28 and 62-9 clone were initiated from leaf explant on the medium with 0.5mg/l and 2.0mg/l 2, 4-D, respectively. Cell suspension culture was established from callus derived from leaf explant culture. When suspended on MS medium with optimal combination of BA and NAA fine nodules were obtained after 2 weeks of culture. For shoot regeneration, nodules were transferred into liquid and agar solidified medium. Numerous shoots were regenerated from nodules of 62-9 on liquid media. Organogenesis was effectively achieved on agar solidified regeneration media containing different concentrations of BA and adenine sulfate. Average numbers of 27 and 24 shoots per nodule were induced from 62-1 and Eco28 clones after 8 weeks of culture, respectively. In addition, somatic embryogenesis also occurred in the same regeneration medium. This procedure can be applied to vegetative propagation, utilization of somaclonal variation, production of secondary metabolite and materials of biotechnology research.

For the micropropagation, node explants of cassava were cultured in liquid MS medium with various concentrations of cytokinins on a rotary shaker (100 rpm) for 2 weeks. The adventitious roots and shoots from the explants were differentiated more efficiently in liquid medium than in solid. But root formation was not inhibited in medium with BAP and kinetin at low concentration (＞0.05 mg 1/sup -1/), while in medium added with BAP and zeatin at high level (＜0.25 mg 1/sup -1/), it was inhibited by callus forming on cut end of the cuttings. However, all of plantlets grown in liquid medium for more than 2 weeks showed symptoms of hyperhydricity. The plantlets grown in liquid medium were transferred into culture bottles filled with fine sand or artificial soil (pitmoss：perlite：vermiculite, 1：1：1 v/v) wetted with half strength of Knop's solution. After transplanted to culture bottles, some of vitriscent leaves were defoliated and new leaves were normally formed from shoot apex. Most of plantlets (＞95%) were hardened-off successfully only in culture bottles with fine sand, and grew into 3-5 cm seedlings possessing 4-6 nodes after 4 weeks. Thus, the mass propagation of cassava on medium containing cytokinin could be established based on the suspension culture using node explants.
