The ability to form embryiod from callus in satsuma mandarin is low and unstable. In this study, the conditions of embryogenic calli induced from nucellar tissue for promotion of plant regeneration in satsuma mandarin were investigated. The calli of I, II and III line were divided into two sizes of 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm in diameter and two weight gradients of percoll at 40% and 50% though the filter mesh. The frequency of embryo formation from $\phi$ 1.0mm-40% was slightly higher than callus that from others. Adventitious embryoids developed to a globular stage were transferred to regeneration medium. In 'Miyagawa Wase', the embryos from I and II line developed into a heart stage from most of $\phi$ 0.5 mm- 40% and $\phi$1.0 mm-40% calli, but it failed in 'Sugiyama Unshu'. In the cultivar of 'Miyagawa Wase', 63% of adventitious embryos transferred to the regeneration medium developed into the heart stage from the most $\phi$ 1.0 mm-40% calli of I line, but of 'Sugiyama Unshu' failed in some calli condition. The embryoids from two callus lines developed further to shoots and plantlets, while the embriods from III line abnormal failed to regenerate in the cultivar. From these results, it is suggested that the plant regeneration from embryogenic callus in satsuma mandarin could be affected by callus conditions.

A suitable system for plant regeneration has been established for perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). In order to investigate the effects of genetic variations of perennial ryegrass in tissue culture response, calli were induced from mature seeds of five cultivars, 'Topgun', 'Accent', 'Renenge GLX', 'Tetrellite', 'Bison' and plant regeneration frequency was compared. Significant differences were observed among the cultivars in both callus induction and plant regeneration. Genotype 'Accent' consistently performed best in the callus formation and plant regeneration. These results can be used useful for molecular breeding of perennial ryegrass through genetic transformation.

In an effort to optimize tissue culture responses of zoysiagrass(Zoysia japonica Steud.) for genetic transformation, factors affecting callus induction and plant regeneration were investigated. MS medium containing 3 mg/L 2,4-D was optimal for embryogenic callus induction from mature seed. The plant regeneration frequency of 73.3% was observed when embryogenic calli induced in this medium were transferred to N6 medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L 2,4-D and 5 mg/L BA. Among several basic media, MS and N6 medium were optimal for callus induction and plant regeneration, respectively. Regenerated plants were grown normally when shoots transplanted to the soil. A rapid and efficient plant regeneration system established in this study will be useful for molecular breeding of turfgrass through genetic transformation.

The present study was conducted to determine the optimum in vitro conditions for callus induction and plant regeneration from mature seed derived callus of four cultivars of Timothy. In order to investigate the effects of genetic variations of timothy in tissue culture, calli were induced from mature seeds of four varieties, 'Colt', 'Chair', 'Richmond' and 'Hokuo' and plant regeneration frequency was compared. Significant differences were observed among the cultivars in both callus induction and plant regeneration. Genotype 'Colt' consistently performed best in the callus subculture and plant regeneration. The complete plantlets were thereafter transplanted to grow under greenhouse condition. Regenerated timothy plants were morphologically uniform with normal leaf and growth pattern.

The role of NAA(1-Naphthaleneacetic acid) and BA(6-Benzyladenine) in the adventitious shoot regeneratlon from Populus leaf segments and changes in the pattern of RNA and protein synthesis were investigated. The adventitious shoot regeneration octured at the basal cut end of Populus leaf segments. This process was effected by many factors, including wounding culture conditions, light and plant growth regulators etc. The highest adventitious shoot regeneration frequency was obtained at $0.01mg/\ell$ NAA with $0.2mg/\ell$ BA. In this condition adventitious shoot starved to regenerate on the 13th day of oullure. The most optimal hormone composition for RNA and protein synthesis was $0.01mg/\ell$ NAA with $0.2mg/\ell$ BA. The content of RNA and protein was greater at the proximal part. In the course of adventitious shoot regeneration, the proteins associated with polar-regeneration appeared at the proximal part of populus leaf segment.

To establish the system of in uitro plant regeneration, the leaf segments of Sedum sarmentosum were cultured on MS media supplemented with different levels of 2,4-D, NAA and BA. The callus induction and growth showed a good response on MS medium supplemented with 3.0mg/L 2,4-D and 1.0mg/L BA, but a few callus induced on medium containing NAA and BA. In plant regeneration, combination of BA and NAA promoted shoot organogenesis from callus, and the highest frequency was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 0.2mg/L NAA and 3.0mg/L BA. When calli were transferred to the plant regeneration medium containing 0.2mg/L NAA and 3.0mg/L BA, healthy shoots without hyperhydricity were continuously induced (17.2 plantlets per callus) after 50 days of culture. When regenerated plantlets were transferred onto hormone-free MS medium, rooting was easily achieved from all of them.

The optimal level of growth regulator for callus initiation stem explants was BAP 0.1mg/L combined with 2,4-D 1.0 mg/L in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 30g/L sucrose and 10g/L agar, and that for cell growth was BAP 0.1+2,4-D 0.5 mg/L in MS liquid medium. The regeneration frequency of P. oleracea cells was significantly increased by subjecting the cells to dessication for 1and 2 h up to 83%, respectively, as compared with untreated control showing 61%. Cell viability and survival rate was inhibited by pretreatment of 0.6% NaCl for 2 days, while regeneration ability was not affected by the treatment. Pretreatment of 100g/L sucrose for 2 days markedly stimulated the regeneration of cells up to 81%. These results suggest that in addition to physiological changes, water stress resulted from dessication and high concentration of sucrose and NaCl is closely related to the regeneration of P. oleracea cultured cells.

In order to establish micropropagation system Anthurium andreanum 'Atlanta', dwarf type, shoots of A. andreanum were cultured on medium supplemented with cytokinin. Callus was formed from the base of shoots. high frequency callus induction was obtained on medium with 10.0mg/L BA or 10.0mg/L TDZ(thidiazuron) at more than 71.8%. The shoots were cultured on media with various combinations and concentrations of TDZ, BA and 2.4-D to enhance callus induction. Callus was induced at more than 72.6% and grew vigorously on media containing 10.0mg/L BA and 0.0∼0.5mg/L 2.4-D, or 1.0mg/L TDZ. Stimulation effects of cytokinin by 2.4-D did not occur in combined treatments of cytokinin and 2.4-D. Callus was cut into sections(7${\times}$10mm), and then cultured on media with BA alone or BA and 2.4-D to regenerate shoots and to stimulate the callus growth. Shoot regeneration and callus growth were effective on media with 10.0mg/L BA alone, or 10.0mg/L BA and 0.1mg/L 2.4-D. In combined treatments of BA and 2.4-D, stmulation effects of cytocinin by 2.4-D also did not occur. Callus growth was decreased, accordiong to increasing the concentration of 2.4-D. In cimbined treatments of TDZ and 2.4-D in shoot regeneration and callus proliferation, stimulated effects of cytokinin by 2.4-D did not occur entirely. Media with 0.5∼1.0mg/L TDZ ingibited the regeneration and rooting of shoots, and callus growth from callus sections. Addition of 2.4-D on medium with TDZ ingibited the regeneration and rooting of shoots, and callus growth. Rooted plantdts were acclimatized in greenhouse. The plantlets were survived more than 98% in soil of vermiculite alone or mixed perlite 1 and vermiculite 1.

The use of liquid-medium-based procedure relative to the solid media led to a 4.5-fold increase in the number of cotyledon-stage embryos. The most efficient system for multiplication and regeneration of somatic embryos was CP6 procedure with the media MSD40/MSD20/MSM6AC/FNL0S3S3GM. However, the rate of regeneration was lower. About 71％ of the embryos with dicotyledon were continued to develop the roots after desiccation treatment and 92％ of the germinated embryos produced shoots in 10 days. Of the four morphologically different types of embryos, dicotyledonous ones showed a high frequency of conversion, while only a few with fused and horn type cotyledon developed shoots. Mature somatic embryos were desiccated in empty petri dishes for 12-72 h. Embryo survival rate was the highest after 12 h of desiccation, but maximal germination was observed at 24 h. After desiccation, they were placed on MS medium without growth regulators for germination. Germinating embryos were transferred to small pots with vermiculite for plant regeneration. The etiolating the plants during the growth was resolved to add 1％ activated charcoal on hormone-free MS medium.

Hibiscus syriacus L., the national flower of Korea, is a commonly grown ornamental species found in parks, gardens and along roadsides in Korea. This study sought to establish a plant regeneration system of H. syriacus 'Nanpa' using mature leaves as an explant. Sterilized mature leaf explants were cultured on modified MS medium with combinations of NAA and BAP at various concentrations for 6 weeks. Among the various media evaluated, modified MS media containing 0.46 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L BAP (CI-1) or 0.92 mg/L NAA and 1 mg/L BAP (CI-4) were the most effective for callus formation. Whitish-yellow calluses were observed on CI-1 medium, while green calluses formed on CI-4 medium. The whitish-yellow callus derived from CI-1 medium showed a higher frequency of shoot induction than the green callus derived from CI-4 on modified MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L BAP. Among the various media evaluated in this study, modified MS medium containing 0.46 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L BAP was the most optimal for shoot-forming callus production. Our findings show that mature leaves of H. syriacus 'Nanpa' can be used for in vitro plant regeneration, and the regeneration system described here may be a powerful tool for molecular breeding of H. syriacus 'Nanpa' in the future.
