The aim of this study was to develop an effective production system of blueberry plants by using tissue culture technique. Murashige and skoog medium (MS) and woody plant medium (WPM) were compared for shoot formation of highbush blueberries. Also medium supplemented with zeatin/2-isopentenyl adenine (2iP)/benzyl aminopurine (BA) (1, 2/10, 15/4, $6mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$)and zeatin/2iP/BA (0.5/10, 15/$0.05mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$) as plant growth regulators to determine the effect of shoot formation and shoot proliferation, respectively. The shoot explants cultured on WPM showed higher shoot formation rates, more number of nodes, and longer root length than those on MS medium during the primary culture. Shoots were not formed when the explants were cultured on the medium without plant growth regulators or on only BA. The shoot explants cultured on the medium supplemented with 2iP showed low rates of shoot formation. On the other hand, zeatin was the most effective for shoot formation and growth of the explants. Also influence of different cytokinins (zeatin, 2iP) on the shoot proliferation of subcultured shoot explants was studied. There was no significant difference among the different concentrations of zeatin in the rate of shoot formation and number of shoots. However at higher concentration of zeatin, number of nodes was increased, and shoot length was shorted. The proper concentrations of zeatin for shoot propagation in subculture were found to be $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$.

A reliable and effective tissue culture system was established for Perilla frutescens (perilla) using different cultivar, explant source, and growth regulator composition in medium. MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L NAA was maximum at shoot induction. Cotyledon explants formed more shoots than hypocotyl explants. The frequency of plant regeneration through organogenesis was higher (22.8%) than that (6.1%) of somatic embryogenesis. Five genotypes of perilla were screened for the feasibility of shoot regeneration, cotyledon explant of 'Manbaek' showed the highest shoot induction at a frequency of 27.3% among the tested cultivars.

This study was carried out to establish the micropropagation system of Bupleurum latissimum Nakai that is a Korean native endangered species. Callus were induced from the leaf, petiole and floral bud and the percentage of callus formation was highest in the floral bud on the MS medium containing 2.0 mg ${\cdot}$ $L^{-1}$ 2,4-D. Especially, callus induced from floral bud was formed 77.8% and the percentage of shoot formation was 42.6% on the MS medium containing 2.0 mg ${\cdot}$ $L^{-1}$ 2,4-D plus 1.0 mg ${\cdot}$ $L^{-1}$ TDZ. For simultaneously callus formation and shoot regeneration, 1/2 MS medium was more effective than MS medium. The percentage callus formation, shoot regeneration and rooting were 46.3%, 13.0%, 13.0% in 1/2 MS medium, respectively. Soot regeneration from callus was good in 1/2 MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg ${\cdot}$ $L^{-1}$ 2,4-D plus 1.0 mg ${\cdot}$ $L^{-1}$ BA where percentage of shoot regeneration was 74.1 %, and the number of shoot per explant was 2.4. The percentage of rooting was lowest (57.8%) in control while it was highest (97.8%) in 1.5 mg ${\cdot}$ $L^{-1}$ NAA. In acclimatization of regenerated plantlets, the percentage of survived plantlets was highest (86.1%), and plant height, root length and fresh weight were good in the soil for horticulture.

This experiment was carried out to determine the effects of genotyes (cultivars) and kinds of cytokinins and concentrations on shoot multiplication of roses (Rosa hybrida) by nodal culture. The results from this study were summarized as follows. Shoot multiplication was significantly affected by genotypes. Most shoots were produced from 'Carl Red 'rather than two other cultivars, 'Golden Emblem' and 'Tineke'. Among 3 cytokinins, BA was more significantly effective for multiplication than two other cytokinins, 2iP and kinetin. However subsequent shoot growth after multiplication was more enhanced by 2iP and kinetin rather than BA. An optimal concentration of cytokinin for shoot multiplication was 1 mg/L in this study but BA at 1-5 mg/L was considered optimal for multiplication ratio itself. Subsequent shoot growth was significantly inhibited by increases in cytokinin concentrations, regardless of kinds of cytokinin.

This experiment was conducted to propagate Zantedeschia spp. in vitro. The frequency of adventitious bud clusters (ABC) formation from shoot tips in Z. 'Best Gold' was high at more than 65% on media with 2.0∼5.0 mg/L BA or 0.1∼1.0 mg/L thidiazuron. The highest formation rate of ABC (75%) was obtained on medium containing 2.0 mg/L BA. Comparing to treatment of BA alone, combined one of BA and NAA did not stimulate the formation of ABC and the shoot regeneration from shoot tips. The proliferation of ABC from sections (0.7∼1.0 cm) of ABC occurred effective on medium with 2.0 mg/L BA. Shoots developed from the sections (0.7∼1.0 cm) of ABC grew and rooted favorably on media containing 1.0∼2,0 mg/L IBA. The shoots were multiplicated effectively on medium with 0.5 mg/L thidiazuron in Z. 'Childsiana', on medium with 3.0 mg/L BA in 2. 'Golden Affair', and on medium with 5.0∼10.0 mg/L BA in Z. 'Pacific Pink'.

The optimal condition of in vitro regeneration and transformation were investigated for newly bred potato varieties in Korea. Leaf and internodal stem tissues of 'Chubak', 'Namsuh', 'Jasim', 'Jopung' and 'Jowon' were used to investigate the influence of growth regulator on regeneration efficiency The effect of phenolic compound acetosyringone on gene transformation efficiency was also investigated. Leaf tissue of 'Jowon' and internodal stem tissues of 'Jopung' were showed high regeneration efficiency on M5 medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L GA₃, 2.0 mg/L Zeatin and 0.01 mg/L NAA. The other three potato cultivars were showed low regeneration efficiency less than 25%. The effect of acetosyringone on Agrobacterium-mediated gene transformation with leaf and internodal stem tissues were noticeable. By adding the 75 μM of acetosyringone during the Agrobacterium innoculation, the transformation efficiency was increased up to 1.5∼4.0 fold compare to non-treated control. In case of 'Jowon' the transformation efficiency was 87.9% in leaf tissue and 'Jopung' was 68.4% in internodal stem tissues.

Efficient plant regeneration via shoot organogenesis from in vitro cultured leaf segments of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev cv. Namjeon) was achieved. Adventitious shoot formation from leaf explants was greatly influenced by plant growth regulator, leaf age, light condition, explant number per culture vessel, and explant orientation. Leaf segments, obtained from fully expanded young 1-2nd leaves and inoculated 8 explants per petri-dish with adaxial surface contact with MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BA and 2.0 mg/L NAA, produced 100% regeneration frequency and 13.7 shoots per explant. Regenerated adventitious shoots were successfully rooted in MS medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA. The plantlets were acclimatized in artificial soil mixtures (Vermiculite:Perlite=1:1), and transferred to greenhouse for flowering. The regenerated plants showed normal phenotypes.

Plant regeneration via organogenesis from leaf and stipule explants of micropropagated shoots of strawberry (Fragaria $\times$ ananassa cv. Suhong) was achieved. Leaf and stipule explants were detached from shoot-tip cultured shoots and cultured on MS medium with various combinations of BA and NAA under light or dark condition. Shoot regeneration from leaf explant was observed after 3 weeks in culture and was good at the high ratio of BA and NAA among various combination treatments. The highest shoot regeneration frequency from leaf explants was obtained with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L NAA, in which 31.1% shoot regeneration frequency(1.7 shoots per leaf explant) was yielded. In case of stipule explants, shoot regeneration was largely affected by plant growth regulators during incubation under dark condition for initial 4 weeks but not under continuous light condition. The combination treatment with 2.0 mg/L BA and 0.1 mg/L NAA showed the most excellent shoot regeneration from stipule explants, where 44.4% regeneration frequency(4.0 shoots per explants) obtained. Regenerated shoots were rooted on MS medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA after shoot elongation, and the plantlets regenerated were transferred to soil mixtures with vermiculite and perlite for acclimation.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of in vitro culture condition and among lines on growth pattern of lateral buds from nodal cuttings of Phalaenopsis flower stalks. The ratio of bud growing into shoot from nodal cuttings of flower stalks were 90.9% and 54.4% on MS and hyponex medium, respectively. The number of buds grown vegetatively were increased remarkably on the MS medium containing 5 mg/L BA. The rate of buds grown vegetatively was higher in basal and middle parts than in upper part of flower stalks. The flower stalk sections cultured at 25~28$^{\circ}C$ showed the highest ratio of vegetative growth. Medium contamination was decreased by pretreatment of etiolation to the flower stalk. However, the pretreatment did not show specific effects on shoot development and reduction of phenolic compound. Average shoot number which was formed from flower stalk segments in 27 of 30 accessions were 3.17, while high number of shoots were obtained from Phal. 3020 and Phal. 3039. The growth pattern of lateral buds in F$_1$hybrids was similar to that of their parents.

In an attempt to optimize the in vitro-regeneration conditions necessary for the genetic manipulation of tomato species, we examined 'Ailsa Graig' cultivar of Lycopersicon for regeneration ability. The basal medium used for callus formation and shoot regeneration was MS (MS + vitamin) supplemented with six combinations of zeatin 2 mg/l, zeatin 2 mg/l + IAA 0.1 mg/l, zeatin 2 mg/l + IAA 0.5 mg/l, zeatin 4 mg/l, zeatin 4 mg/l + IAA 0.1 mg/l and zeatin 4 mg/l + IAA 0.5 mg/l. When all conditions tested were considered, however, only zeatin 2 mg/l was shown to be the best in shoot regeneration. The morphological characterization from in vitro-cultured callus of Lycopersicon esculentum L. var. 'Ailsa Craig' was investigated with scanning electron microscope (SEM). The surfaces of in vitro-cultured callus had well-defined epidermal cell in condition of zeatin 2 mg/l, but those of different treatments were twisted. These results suggested that shape of callus was involved in efficiency of shoot regeneration in tomato 'Ailsa Craig'.
