The aim of this research is to establish shoot regeneration system for 'Wonhwang' pear (Pyrus pyrifolia L.) using various concentrations of 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 mg/L in combination with benzylaminopurine (BA) 3, 5, 10 mg/L. Medium containing 4.4 g/L of Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with vitamins containing 8 g/L of plant agar and 30 g/L of sucrose with NAA 0.05 mg/L and BA 3 mg/L showed 13.3% of shoot regeneration rate. 'Wonhwang' showed no root growth on existing rooting media of P. pyrifolia cv. Niitaka, 'Whang-keumbae' and 'Bae Yun No. 3'. We evaluated the effect of concentration and kinds of plant growth regulators and carbon source to establish efficient rooting condition for 'Wonhwang' pear. In the result of using various concentrations of NAA 0.5 mg/L and 1.0 mg/L in combination with indolebutyric acid (IBA) 3, 5, 10 mg/L, rooting rate of 24% was observed using 1/4 Linsmaier and Skoog (LS) medium supplemented with 7.5 g/L glucose as carbon source and IBA 1.0 mg/L with NAA 1.0 mg/L.

The experiments were carried out to improve culture efficiency of rhizome and mericlone propagation through settlement of problems occurring during culture period of temperate Cymbidium species. Shooting efficiency from rhizome of C. forrestii 'Nokwoon' was improved, when cultured in $H_3P_4$ medium (Hyponex 3+peptone 4g/L) supplemented with 170mg/L $NaH_2PO_4{\cdot}H_2O$ and 0.4mg/L Thiamin e HCl, but the other varieties were not influenced to shooting efficiency by additives. Medium in which rhizome of C. nishiuchianum 'Hodukjiwha' was cultured became less browned in $H_3P_4$ medium added with 150mg/L PVP, but the other treatments of antioxidants was failed to prevent the medium browning. Re-formation of rhizome from young shoots of C. forrestii 'Sojub', 5.5cm in length occured in $H_3P_4$ enriched with 2.0 mg/L NAA and 1.0 mg/L BA under darkness, but axillary buds were elongated in the medium with 1.0 mg/L NAA and 3.0 mg/L BA under light condition. On the other hand, rhizomes from young shoot of C. forrestii 'Seosinmae' and 'Songmae', 5.5cm and 2.5cm in length respectively were reformed in 2.0 mg/L NAA and 5.0mg/L kinetin under darkness, but multishoot from young shoot were emerged in 2.0mg/L NAA and 3.0mg/L BA.

This study was conducted to establish the tissue culture system for Atractylodes plant which is most frequently used in oriental medicine. Root and auxiliary bud of Dachul cv., which is Atractylodes hybrid (A. macrocephala x A. japonica), were used as target tissues for in vitro culture. In root culture, callus induction rate was higher in the treatment of BAP combined with NAA than others, however, 2-iP was more effective for callus proliferation and root induction. Although calli were effectively induced from the root and proliferated in lower concentration of cytokinin combined with higher auxin, root tissue was inappropriate for shoot regeneration. For plant regeneration with axillary bud, BAP combined with NAA was more effective than 2-iP with NAA or IBA. Number of regenerated plant per bud was 3.8, which was highest, and stem diameters was shown as 5.0mm under the conditions of 1 mg/L BAP combined with 1 mg/L NAA. Although, plant height was tend to be higher in 2-iP than BAP, number of the regenerated plant was lower via versus. Furthermore, root proliferation of regenerated plant was more effective in higher concentration of sucrose (7%) than in lower concentration (3%). In results, auxiliary bud was an efficient target tissue for producing regenerated plant of Atractylodes under the conditions of 1 mg/L BAP combined with 1 mg/L NAA and higher concentration of sucrose was effective for root proliferation of regenerated plants.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to evaluate the sequential metabolic changes in experimental hydrocephalus and the clinical applicability to the diagnosis and prognosis of hydrocephalus using proton MR spectroscopy. Methods : Hydrocephalus was experimentally induced in 30 cats(2-3kg body weight) by injecting 1ml of sterile kaolin suspension(250mg/ml) into the cisterna magna. Proton MRS was performed with a 1.5 T MRI/MRS unit (Vision Plus, Siemens) at pre-treatment and at 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after the kaolin injection. PRESS(TR/TE＝1500/270msec) technique was employed. The major metabolites which include N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), creatine(Cr), choline(Cho), and lactate(Lac) were quantitatively analyzed and the relative concentrations ratios were evaluated. Multislice $T_2$-weighted images were also obtained using fast spin echo sequence(TR/TE＝ 2500/96msec) to monitor the morphologic changes along with progression of hydrocephalus. Results : Hydrocephalus was successfully induced in all 30 cats. Twenty five cats died within 3 days and one at the end of the second week. In all animals, the NAA/Cr ratios initially decreased during the acute stage. In 4 surviving cats, the NAA/Cr ratios initially decreased during the acute stage(<14 days) and then gradually increased to the prekaolin level as follows : pre-kaolin($1.49{\pm}0.04$), day 1($1.11{\pm}0.07$), day 7($1.17{\pm}0.04$), day 14($1.40{\pm}0.03$), day 21 ($1.46{\pm}0.06$), day 28($1.43{\pm}0.03$). These levels were relatively well correlated with the symptomatologic improvement. Lactate peak, which reflects the evidence of ischemia, did not appear throughout the entire period except in one case which expired at the end of the second week. Conclusions : The NAA/Cr ratio of the sequential proton MRS in kaolin-induced hydrocephalic cats reflects a metabolic aspect of the hydrocephalus at each stage. A decreased NAA level at the early stage is from both neuronal and axonal damage which may provide diagnostic information in the acute stage of hydrocephalus. In addition, the initial fall of NAA/Cr ratio and recovery in the late stage, when no lactate peak emerges, may suggest that the main insult of the parenchyma is not to the neuron itself but to the axon, which may be related to a good prognosis. However, emergence of the lactate peak and unrecoverable NAA/Cr at the end of the acute phase may be a poor prognostic factor. In the chronic stage, recovery of NAA/Cr ratio may provide a diagnostic clue for the differentiation between hydrocephalus and cortical atrophy.

Callus was induced from the petioles of scented-geranium (Pelargonium graveolense) in MS medium containing various concentrations of plant growth regulators. The highest frequency of more than 70% of callus was induced in 2 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l BAP or 2 mg/l 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/l BAP combined treatment, while not in 2,4-D, NAA or BAP alone. When the callus was transferred to the MS medium containing 0.05 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l BAP, were highest intensity of shoot formation, 14 shoots/callus, was induced after 5 weeks. The highest rooting was observed on hormone-free rooting media from the regenerated shoots after 3 weeks, indicating that the regeneration from geranium callus might be possible by changing the hormone ratios. Peroxidase (POD) specific activities in callus induced from 2 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l BAP were higher than those of 2 mg/l 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/l BAP callus during the entire culture periods. POD isozyme C3 was the main cathodic POD isozyme expressed in NAA and BAP callus, while C1 was the main in 2,4-D and BAP callus. However, anodic POD isozymes, A1, A2 and A3 were expressed with similar activities in both hormone combinations.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of various media compositions in regeneration of Lilium lancifolium. The adventitious bud initiation from microscale was the best on MS medium supplemented with BAP 1.0 mg/L and NAA 0.1 mg/L after 4 weeks of culture. However, from bulbscales, adventitious bud initiation was the best in dark condition on MS medium supplemented with BAP 0.5 mg/L and NAA 0.1 mg/L. On the other hand, callus induction was found to be the best from the microscales incubated in complete dark condition for 8 weeks on MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D 1.0 mg/L and BAP 0.1 mg/L. The highest plantlet regeneration from callus was obtained after incubation in the light condition for 8 weeks on MS medium supplemented with NAA 0.5 mg/L and BAP 0.1 mg/L. Rooting of shoots was obtained easily on MS medium and the plantlets were transferred to soil pots after 8 weeks. The chromosome analysis of the root tip cells was revealed that the callus-derived plantlets had normal chromosome number, 2n=24. No variation was observed in the morphology of the plantlets.

This study was undertaken to know the possibility of in vitro propagation of Stevia through axillary bud culture and the results indicated that: (1) Addition of NAA (0.01-0.05 mg/l) alone on Murashige-Skoog basal medium promoted shoot differentiation and growth rate. And also additional of kinetin of 0.5-1.0 mg/1 alone showed the same trend as that of NAA: (2) Addition of both NAA (0.01-0.05 mg/l) and kinetin (0.5-1.0mg/l) to MS medium promoted better shoot formation. (3) Shoot differentiation and growth were better on the full salt strength of MS medium (1X MS) than that of half strength ( $\frac{1}{2}$MS), while their effects were reversed for root differentiation

These experiments were carried out to define the effects of 2.4-D, NAA and Benzyladenine on the differentiation and growth of the organs and the induction of callus from the potato meristem. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. The differentiation and growth of the shoots from the potato meristem was promoted in increased concentration of Benzyladenine but the callus was not induced on the M.S. medium containing Benzyladenine. 2. On the M.S. medium containing NAA 0.5 mg/l or higher concentration of NAA, the shoots were not initiated but the callus were induced from potato meristem. The growth of callus was promoted in increased concentration of NAA. 3. The roots were initiated from 50% of potato meristems planted on the M.S. medium containing more than 0.1 mg/l of NAA but the roots were pot initiated on the medium containing 2.4-D. 4. The shoot growth was significantly increased by increasing of 2.4-D concentration up to 0.1 mg/l, but the shoots were not initiated on the medium containing 2.4-D more than 1.0 mg/l. 5. For the induction and growth of the callus from potato meristem, NAA was more effective than 2.4-D and the most effective medium was M.S. medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l of NAA. 6. The M.S. mediums supplemented with BA 2.0 mg/l and NAA 0.1 mg/l or BA 1.0 mg/l and 2.4-D 0.1 mg/l showed good results for entire plant regeneration from potato meristem.

This study was conducted to establish the tissue culture system for Korean domestic Miscanthus sinensis, which is used in various purposes such as forage, and bio-energy resources. With the mature seed of Miscanthus, optimum concentrations of plant growth regulators were identified for an efficient callus induction and regeneration. Among the treatments of 1~10 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-D, IBA, or NAA, callus induction rate was highest (85.3%) on MS medium containing 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-D. Under the condition, the callus were efficiently induced and proliferated with comparably lower frequencies of callus browning. In shoot regeneration, the treatment of NAA combined with BAP seemed to contribute more efficient conditions to shoot regeneration than those of NAA with Kinetin or 2-iP. Especially, regeneration efficiency and number of regenerated plants were 83.7% and 5.5 in 3 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA with 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BAP, respectively, which were higher frequencies than those in NAA with Kinetin or 2-iP. In results, 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 2,4-D and 3 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA combined with 5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BAP were efficient for embryogenic callus induction and regeneration of Miscanthus. This system would be useful for mass-propagation and developing new cultivars via tissue culture of Miscanthus sinensis.
