This study was conducted to find out environment conditions in order to increase of growth and yield of tuberlets in pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit. The optimal temperature conditions for the growth of tuberlets were good rather temperature fluctuations than constant one and the optimal photoperiod was a 6hr-photoperiod. The growth of tuberlets to the kinds and concentration of growth regulators was good for 0. lppm 2.4- D, 10ppm kinetin and 50ppm gibberellin treatment. In colchicine soaking treatment, the growth of tuberlets was bad, but bulblets formation was good for 0. 05% colchicine treatment for 48hr. -soaking. In colchicine dropping treatment, dry tuber yield was good for 0. 1% colchicine treatment with once dropping for one day.

This experiments were conducted to determine the effect of thidiazuron on forming tuberlets and plant regeneration of Pinellia ternata T. by tissue culture. The addition of $5\;{\mu}M$ TDZ to the medium had better regeneration than that of any other treatments of NAA and TDZ. At the combination treatments of NAA and TDZ, as the level of thidiazuron increased, the rate of shoot regeneration was incresed while the increment of NAA concentration inhibited the rate of shoot regeneration. The supplement of $5\;{\mu}M$ thidiazuron produced the best number of micro-tubers per explant and the number of micro-tuber formed was 25 in MS medium and 29 in MG medium on 30 day culture, respectively. Microtuber formation was the best on MG medium with 1.0 mg/l NAA and $5\;{\mu}M$ thidiazuron. MG medium was superior to MS and B5 medium for the growth of tuberlets. Half strength of MS medium with NAA 2 mg/l was the most effective for root formation. Rooting ability on nursery soil of plantlets produced in in vjtro was good as a 80% after 3 weeks.

This experiment was carried out to determine optimal culture conditions for the production of tubers of Calla (Zantedeschia elliottiana 'Golden Affair' and 'Black Magic') in Korea highland. In vitro produced plantlets and tuberlets of Calla 'Golden Affair' and 'Black Magic' were planted plastic film greenhouse and grown for 100, 120, 140 days, with different night temperature treatments ($0{\sim}10^{\circ}C$ : no heating, 10, $15^{\circ}C$). In both cultivars, tuber size(tuber diameter, tuber height) and tuber weight increased with increasing cultivation period when the night temperature was maintained at $10^{\circ}C$. The largest tuber diameter in vitro produced plantlets was 5.8cm in 'Black Magic' and 3.2cm in 'Golden Affair', and daily tuber growth rate was 1.110g in 'Black Magic' and 0.092g in 'Golden Affair' under the culture conditions. Consequently we think that tuber harvest date was Oct. 30 and night temperature was $10^{\circ}C$ and no heating that was proper method of tuber production. However we had selection of $10^{\circ}C$ treatment for tuber production because it appeared freezing damage occasionally in highland late in October.
