This study was conducted to find optimum pollination methods for overcoming pre-fertilization incompatibility in interspecific crosses between L. longiflorum 'Gelria' (LG) and L. cernuum (LC). In cross combination of $LC{\times}LG$, the survival rate of the ovaries was higher in the cut style pollinations than in normal stigmatic pollination. Among the various cut style pollination methods, pollination after cutting the styles 2 3mm length above the ovary and top of the ovary were the most effective ones. No ovaries and ovules survived in cross pollination of $LC{\times}LG$. In self-pollination of LG and cross pollination of $LC{\times}LG$, pollens germinated on the stigma by 12 hours and reached to the ovules by 90 hours after pollination. However, in the cross pollination of $LC{\times}LG$, pollen tubes elongated very slowly until 48 hours after pollination and a lot of deformed tubes were observed in the styler canal having swelled tube tip and irregular heavy callose deposition. The pollination time after anthesis also affected on the survival rate of ovaries and ovules showing the best result when pollinated on three days after anthesis. Stigma exudate promoted slightly the enlargement of ovaries, but the survival rate of ovaries and ovules was not increased.

There is a need to breed and distribute of domestic varieties for Lilium longiflorum because most of the lily bulbs cultivated in Korea were imported from foreign country. The L. longiflorum 'Ace' and 'Nellie White' collected from 1996 had been self-crossed from 1996 to 2010. In 2012, the L. longiflorum 'Bright LoSong' was developed as a F₁ hybrid crossed between 'L₂-17-4' and 'L₂-16-6' that obtained by 7th self-fertilization. The 'Bright LoSong' was tested for homogeneity, regional adaptability test, consumer preference show from 2014 to 2015, and it was registered in 2017. The flower of 'Bright LoSong' is a trumpet shaped single flower with no spots.It has 5.8 flowers per plant, which is a relatively many number compared control 'Mount Carmel', Its flower diamater is 9.8cm, relatively a bit small size. And the flower inflorescence has umbel or raceme while the attitude of longitudinal axis is horizontal. The plant height is 38.4cm with 30.8 leaves per plant and 1.9cm of the leaf width. 'Bright LoSong' has a longer flowering period because of relatively small diameter or many number of flowers than those of the control 'Mount Carmel'. Thus, the 'Bright LoSong' showed a high consumer preference, and the cultivar has the advantage of being able to reproduce since the parents are pure lines.

To lily (Lilium longflorum cv. Georgia) pollen, impacts by some physical, chemical and biological factors were examined in respects of its growth and transient gene expression via agro-infiltration. Rolling movement in liquid medium or vacuum pressure during Agro-infiltration was regarded as a impact that should be minimized for normal pollen growth. Pollen growth was maintained well in relatively broad range of temperature (19 to 27$^{\circ}C$) or pH (5.0 to 8.0). Chemical factors such as cefotaxime (up to 300mg/L), acetosyringone (up to 800 $\mu$M) and syringealdehyde (up to 800 $\mu$M) did not show any harmful effects but kanamycin severely did even at concentration as low as 25mg/L in some cases. For GUS gene expression, acetosyringone at 200 to 400 $\mu$M slightly improved the efficiency while syringealdehyde did not. Brief agro-infiltration followed by 18 hr of co-incubation of pollen along with Agrobacterium was suggested as a condition basically required for the transient expression system using lily pollen regardless of the presence of acetosyringone.

Regeneration and growth of bulblets from bulblet-derived bulb-scale segment of Lilium longiflorum (cv Georgia) were investigated. Bulblets were initiated on bulb scales taken from bulblets on MS medium containing 0.05 mg/L 2,4D with 3% sucrose or 0.02 mg/L 2,4D with 9% sucrose. Benzyladenine promoted the differentiation of bulblets but inhibited the growth of differentiating bulblets. The growth of bulblet was promoted by supplying 1/2 strength 1/2 NH$_4$NO$_3$ concentration in MS medium containing 12% sucrose.

In this work, we analyzed the activity of control enzymes of flower color biosynthesis, chalcone synthase (CHS) and flavanone 3-hydroxylase (FHT) using biochemical and enzymological methods in Lilium longiflorum and 11 Lilium cultivars. The results obtained are as follows ; Naringenin (NAR) was synthesized in all Lilium cultivars tested by the catalytic activity of CHS which used malonyl-CoA and 4-coumaryol-CoA as substrates. Substrate-specific activity of CHS was observed because eridictiol (ERI), which uses caffeoyl-CoA as a substrate, was not detected in tested cultivars. In next step, dihydroflavone product was synthesized by FHT using flavanones as a substrate. FHT synthesized dihydrokaempferol (DHK) by using NAR as substrates. A remarkable activity of FHT was observed in other 11 cultivars.

Callus from scale segments of Lilium longiflorum 'Gelia' was effectively induced and maintained from unorganized tissue on the semi-solid medium by 0.42% Bacto agar with MS basal salts and vitamins of SH medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L 2, 4-D, 1.0 mg/L NAA, 0.3 mg/L BA, and 3% sucrose. More than 5% of high sucrose level had inhibiting effect on regeneration capacity of formed callus and decreased callus growth. Various combinations of nitrogen did not effective to proliferate the ELC (Embryogenic-like callus), but friability of callus was increased in the medium containing only nitrate as nitrogen source. 5 mL conditioned medium into 30 mL fresh medium was good for cell growth. However friable cell aggregates during suspension culture had to form hard callus which hindered to establish suspention culture system. Addition of 2 g/L casein hydrolysate increased callus growth and friability of the hard callus. As a result of anatomical observation of callus, organogenesis such as shoots, roots and bulblets was independently induced from callus tissue. Somatic embryogenesis from callus tissue could be observed with low frequency.

This study was performed to investigate regeneration of plants differentiated from hybrid embryos between L. longifilorum Georgia and L. elegans Kakutanohikari. In addition, proliferation of callus and process of differentiation were investigated by histological observation. The germination of hybrid embryos was observed in 86 individuals from 48 slice cultures. Plant regeneration was effective on a medium supplemented with 1 mg/L HPh, and only callus proliferation was the highest in combination of 0.1 mg/L HPh and 1 mg/L BA. Also, plant regeneration was the most effective on a medium supplemented with 50 mg/L pyridoxine. We concluded that somatic embryos were formed from procambium of callus and proliferation of embryonic or proembryonic cells were stimulated with NAA from procambial cells.

Regulation of organ differentiation by growth regulators was investigated through the shoot-tip and bulb-scale cultures of Lilium longiflorum (cv Georgia). When shoot tips were placed on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA alone or 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0.1 mg/L BA, axillary shoots were proliferated. Root diffentiation and growth were stimulated on the basal medium. Although growth regulation did not seem to be necessary when bulb scales were used as explants for shoot differentiation, its differentiation was promoted vigorously by 0.2 mg/L NAA, but suppressed by BA. Bulblets were formed from bulb-scale-derived plantlets cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L IBA. And more bulblets were formed from the plantlet in MS medium supplying 0.2 mg/L NAA with 6% than3% sucrose

For effective production of interspecific hybrids of Lilium and valuable new cultivars, we used Lilium Asiatic hybrid 'Tiny Ghost' as the female parent, and Oriental group, and Longiflorum group and Martagon as the male parents. Percentage pollen germination in Oriental hybrid 'Sorbonne' was the highest with 64%. As results of using normal style pollination and cut style pollination methods, all seed sets were formed in normal style pollinated treatment, except in 'Aktiva'. Pollen germination percent of Longiflorum hybrid 'Norina' was higher than that 'Gelria'. However, all crossings using 'Norina' failed to set seeds. Corresponding fertilization ratio was different from genetic compatibility, even in the same group. From the crossing using 'Aktiva' as the male parent one bulb was obtained derived from one embryo sac. And using 'Sorbonne' as the male parent, one plantlet was obtained after four ovule cultures. Crossing using 'Gelria' as the male parent five embryos, 15 embryo sacs, and seven ovules per one ovary were obtained. Among them, 18 plantlets germinated, with the germination percent of 66.7%. Crossings using L. hansonii, Martagon group, as the male parent resulted in 40% germination from five ovules.

Liquid shaking culture was conducted to investigate the proper culture conditions for the micropropagation of high quality lily using bulblets (3 mm in diameter) obtained from small scale culture. The combinations of 9% sucrose and 10 mM nitrogen or 6% sucrose and 20 mM $NH_4NO_3$ were effective on the growth and weight of micro-bulbs. However, the number of new bulbs was the highest when 20 to 40 mM $NH_4NO_3$ and 3% sucrose were added to the MS medium. The total fresh weight was increased effectively in MS medium supplemented with BA 0.2 mg/L alone under $60\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^2{\cdot}sec^{-1}$ intensity. Also bulblet weight was increased at $60\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^2{\cdot}sec^{-1}$ intensity, regardless of BA concentrations (0.2 and 2 mg/L) in the medium. The proper culture period of bulblet was about 2 month in liquid shaking culture.
