Fumigation of onion bulbs with Tetrachloroisophthalonitrile reduced weight loss by half of the control. The weight losses of the control onion bulbs stored at 80% RH were lower than those stored at 90% RH but no significantly different in case of fumigated onion bulbs. No rooting and sprouting to outside were detected during low temperature storage ($0^{\circ}C$) and $Q_{10}$ value of onion bulbs during storage was the range of 1.9-2.1. The weight losses of onion bulbs during storage were mainly due to decay rather than respiration, because there was positive correlation between weight loss and decay rate during storage period but not respiration ratio.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of polyamines, salt strength. sucrose and gelling agents on the regeneration of plantlets by meristem culture of Aloe arborescens Mill. and Aloe vera L.. Shoot multiplication was more effective when 10mg/ l spermine in Aloe arborescens and 1mg/ l spermidine in Aloe vera added into MS medium than when other polyamines were treated into media. A quarter strength of MS medium was effective for rooting of shoots regenerated. Higher concentration of sucrose (45g/ l) was more effective for shoot regeneration. Addition of 4g/ l gelrite into the medium was effective for induction of multiple shoots from Aloe than that of agar or other concentrations of gelrite. When plantlets regenerated from meristem culture were transferred to pot. survival rate of plantlets was 80% on perlite and was 95% on vermiculite. respectively.

An efficient protocol for in vitro multiple shoot bud induction and plant regeneration from mature green cotyledon derived callus tissues of Acacia sinuata has been developed. Callus formation occurs at all the concentrations of thidiazuron (TDZ) in Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium, but 0.6 ${\mu}M$ proved to be the best with maximum callus formation frequency. Supplementation of TDZ in combination with indole-acetic acid (IAA) in MS media accelerates shoot bud organogenesis in differentiating callus tissues with 60-70% conversion of shoot buds into shoot Most efficient shoot organogenesis was recorded when TDZ induced calli were subcultured at different concentrations of 6-benzyla-denine (BA). Optimum shoot bud induction and plant regeneration from callus was achieved when 0.6 ${\mu}M$ (TDZ) induced calli were subcultured at 3.0 ${\mu}M$ (BA) where $16.6{\pm}0.74$ shoots/unit callus on obtained. Rooting in in vitro differentiated shoots was achieved when transferred to medium containing different concentration of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) in full & half strength MS medium. The well rooted plantlets were hardened and transferred to net house with 90% survival rate.

In order to establish a in vitro propagation system for gold tree[Dendropanax morbifera $L_{EV}$], the effects of auxins and cytokinins on shoot multiplication and rooting were investigated. Germination rate was the best in MS medium. The fresh weight and number of shoot were the best on the medium containing 0.1 or 1.0 mg/l BAP and 0.5 or 1.0 mg/l NAA. Shoots were successfully rooted in MS medium with 1.0 mg/l NAA. Roots were easily formed by the addition of auxins, especially 0.1 or 1.0 mg/l BAP.P.

When it comes to single node leafy stem cuttings of rose (Rosa hybrida), environmental management such as air temperature, relative humidity, and light affect productivity. In order to investigate the effect of air temperature and relative humidity on the cutting success rate and rooted cuttings quality, a transparent airtight box was used to implement a closed system. We have also tried to find out the most effective photoperiod and the number of leaflets in closed system using artificial light (white LED, 104.0 µmol·m^-2·s^-1 photosynthetic photon flux density). The first experiment was conducted for a total of 6 weeks under 4 airtight period conditions. The number of roots and longest root length decreased as the airtight period increased. But there were no significant differences in the survival rate, shooting rate, and rooting rate according to airtight periods. In the second experiment the results indicated that survival and shooting rate were significantly affected by the photoperiod (0/24, 2/22, 4/20, 8/16, and 16/8 h), the number of leaflets (0, 2, and 4 leaflets) of the cuttings and their interaction. The survival rate was the highest in the 16-h day length and 4 leaflets. By considering survival rate and shooting rate with energy efficiency, the 8-h day length and 2 or 4 leaflets were judged to be the most effective.

Leaf discs and apical meristems were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with cytokinin and auxin at different concentrations. Callus production was observed in all tested media after six days of incubation. Callus produced in the presence of high concentration of NAA (2.0mg/1) was fragile in texture and yellow in colour. Highest callus formation was observed from leaf discs in the medium supplemented with 1.0mg/1 NAA and 0.5 mg/l BAP in dark at $25{\pm}1{\circ}C$. Percentage of callus formation was 95% and mean callus fresh weight was 654.88 43.53 mg. Shoots were induced from the callus after 4 weeks in 1/2MS medium supplemented with BAP and kinetin both at 0.5mg/1. When elongated shoots were separated and transferred into multiplication medium (MS+0.5mg/1 BAP+0.5mg/1 kinetin) multiplication rate was 6.4 after 6 weeks. Higher concentrations of BAP caused callus production at the base. Direct shoot induction was observed from apical meristems in MS medium in the presence of 0.175 mg/1 IAA + 2.25mg/1 BAP and 0.175 mg/1 IAA + 3.0 mg/1 BAP in 16 hour day at $25{\pm}1{\circ}C$. Explants (apical meristems) elongated to form a single shoot forming a callus at the base. Adventitious buds were sprouted out from the base. Percentage explants which producing shoots was 28.57 and 65.5 respectively. Multiple shoot induction was also observed in the same media. Highest multiple shoot production was observed in the presence of 0.175 mg/l IAA and 3.0mg/l BAP, Mean number of shoots per explant was 5.36 and the mean shoot length was $16.66{\pm}4.15$mm. Shoots (20 30m length) were tested for root induction. Excised shoots were transferred into rooting media, which contains different concentrations of NAA and IAA. Best rooting performance was observed in 1/2MS medium supplemented with 0.1mg/1 NAA after 10 days of incubation in 16 hr photoperiod at $25{\pm}1{\circ}C$. Mean number of roots per shoot was 6 and the mean root length was 252mm. Rooted plantlets were transferred into sterile coir dust:sand (1:4) mixture and maintained in a humid chamber for two weeks, They were gradually exposed to the natural environment. After three weeks they were transferred to pots containing coir dust:sand (1:2) mixture for further development where the 90% survival was observed.

The process to acquire intron-GUS gene-expressed transformants from somatic embryos (including embryogenic calli) of Rosa hybrida cv. 'Sweet Yellow' using Agrobacterium-meditated transformation method was reported in this study. Somatic embryos including embryogenic calluses were infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens AGL1 strain (O.D = 0.7~1.6) including intron-GUS gene for 30 min, and were co-cultured for 3 days. After co-cultivation, they were cultured on embryo germination medium (EGM) supplemented with $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ cefotaxim at $4^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Then, transient GUS gene expression was observed. Shoots were regenerated from the shoot primodia induced from the intron-GUS gene-transferred either somatic embryos or embryogenic calli cultured on EGM supplemented with both cefotaxim $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and ppt $2\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. Before induction of rooting from shoots cultured on shoot growing medium supplemented with both cefotaxim $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and ppt $2\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, the shoots were cultured on multi-shoot induction medium supplemented with both cefotaxim $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and ppt $2\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ to induce multi-shoots. When expression of the gene from a part of the multi-shoots was identified by GUS transient assay, the putative transgenic multishoots were transferred to rooting medium supplemented with cefotaxim $250\;mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. After the formation of healthy roots, transgenic plantlets were transferred to the greenhouse after acclimatization. The expression rate of the intron-GUS gene in the multi-shoots was 100%.

Crown gall of rose (Rosa hybrida) was observed in greenhouse during 2003-2007. The average disease incidence was up to 38.1 % and was more severe in hydroponic culture as compared to soil culture. The typical gall symptom occurred mainly on the root, crown, or both, and resulted on poor rooting, growth retardation and yield loss. The reduction rate of rooting influenced by crown gall was 57.5% as compared to healthy plants on nursery stock. The location of gall formation in the plant influenced growth vigor resulting in symptoms such as poor shooting. Healthy plants produced 19.1 flowers/$m^2$, while diseased plants produced 9.5 flowers/$m^2$ during the same cultivation period. Moreover, the number of days to flowering was longer for the diseased plants than for healthy plants - 51.2 days and 39.8 days for first harvest, and 60.6 days and 52.1 days for the second harvest, respectively. Conclusively, infection on the basal stem caused serious loss of the number of shoot formation; yield loss of cut flower was 38.7% due to crown gall infection and delay of harvesting time about 8-10 days.

This study was conducted on propagation use for conservation scheme of a threatened plant; Wikstroemia ganpi (Sieb. et Zucc.) Maxim(Geomundo false ohelo). The seed propagation was showed higher (95%) in storage and lower values in ground and cutting. Softwood cutting was higher than hardwood cutting and it was possessing higher ratio of rooting that increase concentration of IBA and NAA. It was determined that for Geomundo false ohelo seedling was effective than cutting. In-situ and ex-situ conservation and restoration of substitute habitats of Geomundo false ohelo is therefore necessary due to human trampling in the habitats, damage, natural selection, loss and suppression.

Crude extracts of 4 Allium SPP. such as welsh onion, onion, chinese chives and garlic were purified by paper chromatography and these activities were bio-assayed with rice seedlings. The stem and leaf slices of Allium spp. were treated and rice seedlings were planted in the soil to know the effect of its application on rice growth. The weak acidic fraction of Allium SPP. enhanced the growth and rooting of rice seedlings and had greater activity in promoting than in inhibiting the growth on rice seedling. Elongation of the second leaf sheath of the rice seedlings were not influenced by the extracts of Allium SPP. The stem and leaf application 10 days before transplanting, increased the number of effective tiller remarkably. Especially, the application of 50~400g welsh onion and 50~200g onions increased the number of spikelets per panicle compared to standard fertilization. But, in application of larger amounts, the-death rate of the rice seedlings after transplanting was higher in the stem and leaf application 10 days before transplanting than the one applied on the transplanting day. In particular, treatments of chinese chives and garlic showed higher death rate than those of welsh onion or onion. The stem and leaf application of Allium SPP. resulted in high yield than standard fertilization.
