  • Efficient transformation and regeneration methods are a priority for successful application of genetic engineering to vegetative propagated plants such as grape. In this study, methods for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation and plant regeneration of grapevine (Vitis vinifera) were evaluated. Tamnara, Heukgoosul, Heukbosek, Rizamat were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium strains, LBA4404 containing the vector pBI121 carrying with CaMV 35S promoter, GUS gene as reporter gene and resistance to kanamycin as selective agent. Seven percent of the maximum regeneration frequency was obtained from co-cultivated with explants from Rizamat with LBA4404 strain on selection medium with kanamycin. The addition of acetosyringone, 200 ${\mu}m$ in virulence induction step was a key factor for successful GUS reporter gene expression in grapevine transformation. Transgenic plants showed resistance to kanamycin and the GUS positive response in leaf ($T_0$) stem ($T_0$) and petiole ($T_0$).

  • A freesia (Freesia hybrida Hort.) 'Dancing Flame' was developed for the cut flower in the National Institute of Horticultural Herbal Science in 2007. This hybrid was selected from a crossing between a seedling 'Vulcano' and 'Sailor', which is scarlet double flowering and purple single flowering, respectively, and 'Figaro' which is bright red color and semi-double flowering, in 2000. Morphological characteristics of the selected hybrid were investigated for 3 years from 2005 to 2007, and then it was named 'Dancing Flame'. 'Dancing Flame' had red color (RHS R44B) and single flower with yellow center color (RHS Y9A). The growth of the plant was vigorous and the average height was 93.3 cm. The average flower width was 60 mm, number of floret per stalk was 14.3, and stalk was 13.2 cm length. The average yield, 7.8 cuttings per plant, was 2.5 stems per plant more than the control cultivar. The average days to first flowering of 'Dancing Flame', 133 days, was approximately 5 days earlier than the control cultivar. And its average yield, 7.1 cormlet per plant, was also 2.5times more than the control cultivar.

  • Background and objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of visitors' positive emotions on satisfaction and loyalty with the perception of restorative environment of a healing garden created in an urban agriculture expo. Methods: The psychological indicators to the images of the healing garden were analyzed by the visitors' demographic variables and the three factors of plant cultivation activity level: plant cultivation experience, plant preference, and plant-related event. Results: Between age groups and occupational groups, significant differences were found statistically. The Perceived Restorativeness Scale(PRS) showed significantly differences between age groups in repose, fascination and legibility. The Positive Affect & Negative Affect Schedule(PANAS) showed statistically significant differences between age groups in positive emotions. In addition, we investigated the correlation between the PANAS and the three factors of plant cultivation experience level, the four factors of the PRS, satisfaction and loyalty. The three factors of plant cultivation experience level, the four factors of the PRS, satisfaction and loyalty showed a positive correlation with positive emotions and were inversely correlated with negative emotions significantly. Multiple regression analysis with dummy variables was conducted to examine the effects of plant cultivation activity level, attention restoration, and the PANAS on healing garden visitors' satisfaction and loyalty. As a result, among the four factors of the PRS, fascination and positive affectivity were significant variables that affect healing garden visitors' satisfaction and loyalty. Conclusion: The results indicated that the higher the attention restoration of visitors due to the fascination of the healing garden and the higher their positive affectivity and the more they have plant-related memories, the higher their impact on healing garden visitors' satisfaction and loyalty. Therefore, fascinating natural environments or greenery landscapes like healing gardens where people can contact plants would reduce negative emotions such as anger and sadness but to increase positive emotions such as pleasure, joy and satisfaction.

  • Genetic manipulation of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) breeding is still difficult due to lack of reliable regeneration system. The aim of this research is to establish shoot regeneration system from leaf explants for pear (P. pyrifolia cv. Niitaka) using various concentrations of plant growth regulators and carbon source supplemented to medium. The highest regeneration rate of about 20% was found on a medium containing 4.4 g/L of Murashige and Skoog (MS) without vitamins, Linsmaier and Skoog (LS) vitamins were added separately. Leaf explants of pear were cultured on MS medium containing 7 g/L of Daishin agar supplemented with various concentrations of NAA (0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 mg/L) in combination with BA(3, 5, 10 mg/L) for shoot regeneration. In medium with 5 mg/L of BA and 0.01 mg/L of NAA, adventitious shoot regeneration rate was higher than others treated. The optimal results were observed using MS medium supplemented with 30 g/L sorbitol as carbon source on regeneration system. Sorbitol is considered better carbon source than sucrose for shoot regeneration of pear (P. pyrifolia cv. Niitaka). In order to increase of shoot regeneration in pear (P. pyrifolia cv. Niitaka), plant agar and Daishin agar used as gelling agents, Daishin agar is more efficient in shoot regeneration.

  • This study was conducted to investigate desirable storage method to major chinese herbal medicine materials, Moutan Radicis Cortex in different packing materials and sealing degree. The loss in weight of Moutan Radicis Cortex as influenced by packing materials was the lowest at complete sealing treatment with transparent or black polyethylene film. The rot ratio of Moutan Radicis Cortex during the storage period was not difference between packing materials, transparent and black polyethylene film, but rot ratio of complete sealing condition was lower than punch ($\phi$J5mm) on polyethylene film.
