'Gondalbi' (Ligularia stenocephala (Maxim.) Matsum. & Koidz.) is the most cultivated Gomchwi species because of higher yield and low in aromatic flavor and bitter taste, But 'Gondalbi' is susceptible to powdery mildew disease and leaf shriveling after harvest in Summer. To improve powdery mildew disease resistance and post-harvest leaf shriveling problem in 'Gondalbi', 'Handeari-gomchwi' resistant to powdery mildew disease and having higher yield potential used as a paternal trait donor. Powdery mildew disease resistance and post-harvest leaf shriveling as well as agronomic performance of a new variety, 'Greenbear' were tested under field and green house conditions in Pyungchang, Korea from 2007 to 2016. Expression of both maternal and paternal characteristics in 'Greenbear' including purple colored petiole ears, glossy leaf and paternal, petiole trichome, absent at the back of a leaf were confirmed. Plant size and flowering time of 'Greenbear' were similar to check line, 'Gommany', while leaf number per plant and yield were higher in 'Greenbear'. 'Greenbear' has thinner leaves (0.66mm) compared to 'Gommany (0.69 mm)', and hardness appeared slightly higher in 'Greenbear(25.1 kg/cm²)'. The resistance to powdery mildew disease of the 'Greenbear' variety was slightly lower than that of the 'Gommany' variety, but somewhat showed high resistance.

The study was carried out to establish in vitro microtuber production from leaf and petiole explant cultures of Pinellia ternata. Culture conditions were optimized by investigating the effect of plant growth regulators, different media, and gelling agents on the efficiency of microtuber indurtion. Among the different combinations of plant growth regulators tested, the combination of 0.1 mg/l 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D) and 0.5 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) showed the highest yield fer microtuber production from leaf (3.9) and petiole (4.7) explant culture on MS medium far 6 weeks. SH(Schenk and Hildebrandt) medium was the most effective medium for microtuber induction and the half strength SH medium was better than SH medium for microtuber production from both leaf and petiole culture. Gelrite was better than agar in the formation of microtubers and 4% Gelrite showed the highest number of microtubers per explant frome leaf (5.9) and petiole (7.8) culture. Germination rate of microtubers after cold storaged for one months long was 86% from in vitro culture and 43% from autoclaved soil.

7 populations of rare endemic Berchemia berchemiaefolia were analysed using multivariate analysis for 9 characteristics of leaf morphology. The aim of this study was to examine geographic variation to support a genetic resource conservation plan of B. berchemiaefolia in Korea. In the morphological characters, nine characters of leaf were 10.25 cm (blade length), 4.10 cm (maximum width), 2.52 (blade length/maximum width), 3.22 cm (upper 1/3 width), 3.42 cm (lower 1/3 width), 0.95 (upper 1/3 width/lower 1/3 width), 1.24 cm (petiole length), 8.91 (blade length/petiole length), 8.16ea (vein number), respectively. Nested anova showed that were statistically significant differences among populations as well as among individuals within populations in all 9 quantitative characters. In 7 of 9 characters, variance components among individuals within populations were higher than those among populations. Cluster analysis using complete linkage method showed two groups (Chungbuk and Gyeongbuk districts) to Euclidean distance 1.2. Among principal components, primary 3 principal components appeared to be major variables because of the loading contribution of 87.3%. The first contribution was blade length, blade length/maximum width and blade length/petiole length; the second one was maximum width, upper 1/3 width and lower 1/3 width; the third one was petiole length, respectively.

The Arisaema robustum, perennial non-stem herb, population in the temperate forest of Sanseong-ri, Joongbu-myeon, Kyonggi Province was studied for leaf pattern and leaf growth from 1993 to 1995. The area of each side leaflet was larger than that of the apical leaflet in 3-leaflet form plants. But there was no significant difference among the leaflets (apical, 1st side and 2nd side leaflet) in t-testing of the 5-leaflet form plants. The specific leaf area (SLA) of the 3-leaflet form plant was greater than that of the 5-leaflet form plant, and the difference was significant at 0.1%. But differences of SLA value among the leafleats of the same leaflet form plants were minor. The area of leaflets or total leaf area was inversely proportioned to the their SLA values. Especially, the correlation coefficients (CC) between leaf area and SLA in apical leaflets and side leaflets of the 3-leaflet form plant compared to the 1st side leaflets of the 5-leaflet form plants were significant at the level of 1%. The differences between two sides in the dry weight and area of leaflets starting from the apical leaflets were about 5%. The CC values between attributes of the petiole (length and dry weight) and those of leaf blades (dry weight, leaf area and SLA) were high and significant at a 1% level. Especially, The CC value between the dry weight of the petioles and that of the leaf blades was higher than any others (r=0.952). The morphologies of the leaf margins were entire, medium serrate and serrate, and the same plant showed the same type from year to year. The plants usually had one leaf and occasionally 2 leaves. 1-leaf plants usually had 3 or 5 leaflets and occasionally 2 or 4 leaflets. Each year, the ration of individuals having the same number of leaflets was 72%, and that of individuals having a different number of leaflets was 27.54% (an increase of 20.4% and a decrease of 7.1% respectively). In the individuals increasing in the number of leaflets, the ration of individuals shifting from the 3-leaflet from to the 5-leaflet form was 14%. The increase ration of leaf area per individual a year was 37%, and the increase ratios of the plants increasing in leaflets were 60-70% regardiness of leaflet increase. The ratios of leaflet length/breadth were about 1-2, and the variations of those were 0.182-0.286 each year (12-20%).

To obtain multi-shoot using zygotic embryos dissected from ginseng seed, the embryos were cultured on MS medium supplemented with CPA and BA. Effective multi-shoot induction was achieved on 0.5mg/ t CPA and 1.0mg/ t BA treatment. Among the various plant growth regulator treatment, MS basal medium with 1mg/ t 2,4-D and 0.5mg/ t kinetin was more competent and could be induced 4∼6 shoots per one embryo. Also, the best condition for pre-embryoid induction from ginseng cotyledon so as to ginseng transformation appeared to 1mg/ t 2,4-D and 0.5mg/ t kinetin treatment. The kanamycin level to select transformants varied greatly by different explant tyues. The petiole explants with leaf and embryo could survived up to 100$\mu\textrm{g}$ / ml kanamycin concentration where as petiole explants without leaf died all at the level. Conclusionally, our results suggest that optimum kanamycin concentration for ginseng transformation using somatic embryos is about 75∼100$\mu\textrm{g}$ / ml concentration.

This study are conducted to observe the correlation which are concerned with tile internode length to the leaf area and leaf weight. Where as, small leaf variety Gae Ryang Su Ban, and large leaf variety Ro Sang are adopted to observe their correlations in a group consisting of 30 varieties and in identifiable varieties. The results are as follows: A. Such positive correlations are observed between each characteristics and leaf area with leaf weight. (1) There are highly positive correlation between internode length and leaf area with leaf weight together within varieties group. (2) No correlation with stem length is observed, but high correlation is acknowledged in identifiable varieties although positive correlations are recognized. (3) Correlations are showed between stem volume and leaf area with leaf weight in identifiable varieties, especially Gae Ryang Su Ban higher than any other varieties. (4) Petiole length is not correlated to leaf area and leaf weight in varieties group, but petiole weight is highly correlated to leaf area and leaf weight in varieties group, Gae Ryang Su Ban and Ro Sang variety. B. Internode length along with the stem parts shows the same tendency of variance as most varieties do； internode length of I part at the base is the longest one, gradually shrunk to that of III part and gloved longer, and again internode length becomes shorter to the top. C. Variance of leaf area and leaf weight along with the parts are the lowest ones at the I part, gradually increased to the maximum at IV part, and here after it comes to shrink.

We report a technique for obtaining seeds of 'Cheongnarae' (a variety of Hosta minor cultivated at the Korea National Arboretum in 2019) by artificial crossing of H. minor, collected from Jeju Island, as the female parent and H. minor 'Krossa Regal', cultivated outside Korea, as the male parent. Among the individuals obtained after sowing, those that showed different morphological characteristics, such as leaf shape and color, were selected. Among these individuals, those with thick leaves and light-colored flowers were further selected. Vegetative propagation and cultivation steps were repeated for evaluation of the characteristics. 'Cheongnarae' has relatively thicker leaves and a darker color (RHS 137A) than the control variety 'Black Hills' and has wings at the point where the petiole meets the leaf blade. The shape of the leaf blade edge is clearly sinuous, and the flower color is close to white (White N155B). 'Cheongnarae' cultivated in this way can be used for pot plant or gardening.

Early leaves within the Viola albida complex were investigated by scanning electron microscopy in order to determine the morphological segments during morphogenesis. The early leaf development of V. albida var. albida could be morphologically divided into the eight stages in the following order: I, the initiation of shoot germination; II, the conical growth directionally of the leaf; III, the adaxial and abaxial formation of the leaf; IV, the initiation of the stipule; V, the formation of a transitional zone between the leaf blade and petiole; VI, the expansion of the upper part of the leaf blade; VII, the formation of almost all parts of the early leaf; VIII, the early simple leaf. Viola albida var. takahashii differs from V. albida var. albida by additional stages, i.e., V-1, the initiation of the first lateral lobe at the both lateral parts of the leaf after the stage V and an early lobed leaf. Viola albida var. chaerophylloides is also distinguished from two taxa by two developmental features, V-2, the initiation of a second lateral lobe below of the first lateral lobe, and an early palmately compound leaf. These findings suggest that the Viola albida complex would be in the process of peramorphosis, showing developmental changes in a chain of events, leading to a different leaf shape. These data would also be useful for isolating genes that give rise to different leaf morphogenesis outcomes among the taxa in the Viola albida complex.

This study was intended to identify 17 taxa. (5 varieties and 12 species) of the genus Acer in Korea on the basis of the shapes of stomata, the type of trichome on the different part of leaves, the shapes, arrangement and number of stele in cross section of petiole. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 11 The shape of guard cells of stomata in the genus Acer was anomcytical, and the size of the cells ranged from 10.25 to $21.00{\mu}$ in length and from 7.57 to $11.83{\mu}$ in width. 2) Eleven types of trichome on the leaf in the genus Acer were found; pilose, sericeous, velutinous, woolly, glabrate, puberulent, bladder hair, hispid, hirsute and uncinate. This characteristics also established a good criterion for identification of species. 3) The stele of petiole in the genus Acer was characterized by eustele and atactostele with polybranch, and the six groups of the shape of numerical change of stele; B>M=T, BM
