This study was conducted to refine a micropropagation method of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in vitro. When young shoots were cultured on media with various concentrations of BA or TDZ alone, LS medium containing $5.0\;mgl^{-1}$ BA was found favorable for shoot proliferation from young shoots with a mean of 4.2 shoots. Using BA together with IAA, more shoots were obtained on LS medium containing $5.0\;mgl^{-1}$ BA and $1.0\;mgl^{-1}$ IAA with a mean of 5.7 shoots. In liquid medium, number of shoots and fresh weight per explant increased significantly. The best shoot proliferation and increasing of fresh weight were achieved on LS liquid medium containing $5.0\;mgl^{-1}$ BA and $1.0\;mgl^{-1}$ IAA with 6.9 shoots and more than 4,000 mg fresh weight. Of the different concentrations of LS salt, double strength of LS medium provided the highest shoot proliferation with 7.3 shoots, and fresh weight with 5,539 mg per explant. Shoot proliferation on LS medium containing $50\;gl^{-1}$ sucrose had better results with 8.7 shoots and 5,979 mg per explant in fresh weight than other conditions. In conclusion, the optimal level for shoot proliferation and biomass increase of water hyacinth was attained with the application of the double strength of LS medium containing $5.0\;mgl^{-1}$ BA, $1.0\;mgl^{-1}$ IAA and $50\;gl^{-1}$ sucrose.

A method for induction of multiple shoots using cotyledonary nodes and shoot tips of Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc. was described. The experiment was conducted in which shoot induction was noticed on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of four cytokinins (KIN, 2iP, Ads, BAP). These multiple shoots were later developed into normal shoots. The highest rate of shoot proliferation came from MS medium added with BAP 1.5 mg/L. The multiple shoot buds were subcultured into MS medium with BAP (0.5-1.5 mg/L) along with Ads (1.0 mg/L) and GA$_3$ (0.5 mg/L), which gave rise to the highest frequency of shoot proliferation and elongation. The shoots were rooted on MS medium supplemented with 1.75 mg/L IBA.

In order to establish in vitro propagation method of sundew, Drosera rotundifolia L., the effects of MS medium concentration, cytokinin type and concentration, pH, and auxin type and concentration on shoot proliferation and root formation were investigated using shoots at 3 month after seed germination. The highest shoot production was obtained with the half strength of MS ($\frac{1}{2}$ MS) medium than with any other strength of MS medium tested. Addition of kinetin or BA in $\frac{1}{2}$ MS medium was strongly suppressed shoot proliferation. The suppression of shoot proliferation was more effective in BA-supplemented $\frac{1}{2}$ MS medium than kinetin-supplemented. The optimum pH of the media for shoot proliferation was pH 5.7-6.7. Shoots were subcultured in $\frac{1}{2}$ MS medium supplemented with 0.5mg/L 2,4-D for rooting every 8 weeks. All subcultured shoots produced extensive root systems after 5 to 6 week culture. Plantlets after root development were planted in plastic pots filled with moss. The survival rate of plantlets was almost 100%. On subculturing every 8 weeks, hundreds of the plants were propagated from a single plant within a year.

This communication describes for the first time an efficient and reproducible protocol for large-scale multiplication of Bambusa nutans. Nodal segments collected from field-grown clumps and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with $4.4{\mu}M$ benzylaminopurine (BA) and $2.32{\mu}M$ kinetin (Kin) gelled with 0.2% gelrite yielded 80% aseptic cultures with 100% bud-break. The in vitro-formed shoots obtained after bud-break were successfully multiplied in MS liquid medium supplemented with $13.2{\mu}M$ BA, $2.32{\mu}M$ Kin, and $0.98{\mu}M$ indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Sub-culturing of shoots every 3 weeks on fresh multiplication medium yielded a consistent proliferation rate of 3.5-fold. Shoot clusters containing three to five shoots were successfully rooted with 100% success on half-strength MS liquid medium supplemented with $9.8{\mu}M$ IBA, $2.85{\mu}M$ indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), $2.68{\mu}M$ naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and 3% sucrose. Plantlets grown in vitro were acclimatized and subsequently transferred to the field. Inter-simple sequence repeat analysis has confirmed the genetic uniformity of the tissue-cultured plants up to 27 passages.

To determine the appropriate concentrations of nutrients and growth regulators for shoot proliferation and root initiation, several rose hybrid tea cultivars were cultured. Cultured shoot tips and lateral buds from different cultivars proliferated multiple shoots on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0 to 4 mg/L BA and 0 to 0.05 mg/L NAA. The ability of the explants to proliferate shoots and initiate roots was affected by genotype, the nodal position of explant, the strength of MS basal medium and growth regulators used. The buds nearest the apex exhibited the slowest rate of development. Most cultivars had the highest shoot proliferation when cultured on MS medium with 2 mg/L BA and 0.01 mg/L NAA, but the degree varied by cultivars. Root development was enhanced by lowering the concentration of MS salts.

In vitro proliferation system was achieved by using nodal segment excised from greenhouse grown juvenile stock plants of Alnus japonica. Stem explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different plant growth regulators of cytokinin and/or their combinations. The most effective cytokinin source was the combination of zeatin 2.0 mg/L and TDZ 0.05 mg/L producing the average number of shoots (16.8 $\pm$ 3.6). In addition, healthy roots were formed after small clumps of shoots were transferred to half strength of MS medium containing IBA 0.02 mg/L with optimal rooting capacity. Soil acclimatization was successfully conducted in cell tray containing artificially mixed soil with 92 % survival rate.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of thidazuron(TDZ) on shoot proliferation and growth from axillary buds of 20-years-old Corylopsis coreana. Shoots proliferation was effectively achieved on WPM(Woody Plant Medium) supplemented with 0.03∼0.1mg/L TDZ. The highest shoot number(6.5$\pm$0.7) was obtained on 0.1mg/L TDZ treatment. On the TDZ medium shoots formed as clusters less than 1cm in height and therefore needed to subculture on GA$_{3}$ containing medium to induce elongation. In consecutive cultures, phenolic compounds were excreted at the proximal part of the explants and inhibited growth of the explants. Growth inhibition by the compounds was overcome using liquid and paper bridge culture system. About 60％ of the elongated shoots rooted on half- strength MS medium containing IBA. Generally, IBA was mire effective on in vitro rooting than NAA with optimal range of 0.5mg/L to 1.0mg/L. Rooted plantlets were transferred in an artificial soil(vermculite) and acclimatized in high humidity greenhouse condition. Survival rate differed greatly depending on rooting types of the explants. Two types of rooting were observed. The first type was direct rooting from the explants. The second type was callus formation followed by rooting from the callus. The explants showing the 1st type rooting survived can be multiplicated in vitro by TDZ treatment followed by elongation with GA$_{3}$ and rooting with IBA.

Zingiber officinale buds from the rhizomes were used to produce in vitro shoots. These explants produced the largest number of multiple shoots, 9.8 shoots per explant, when were cultured on MS (Murashige and Skoog 1962) medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/L benzyladenine (BA) and 2.0 mg/L indole butyric acid (IBA). This medium was also found to be suitable for in vitro propagation of other Zingiberaceae species: Alpinia conchigera, Alpinia galanga, Curcuma domestica, C. zedoaria and Kaempferia galanga. Both C. domestica and C. zedoaria produced more multiple shoots when were cultured in the liquid proliferation medium, MS medium containing 2.0 mg/L BA and 2.0 mg/L IBA. To maintain the in vitro plantlets of Zingiberaceae species, they were required to subculture every four weeks. After executing proper acclimatization protocol, in vitro plantlets of Alpinia galanga, A. conchigera, Curcuma domestica, C. zedoaria, Kaempferia galanga and Zingiber officinale could be successfully planted in the field with high percentage of survival.

This study was conducted to establishment of in vitro micropropagation through induction of multiple shoots from axillary bud culture in Calanthe discolor Lindl. Shoots initiation from axillary bud was the most effective on half strength MS medium supplemented with $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA and $2.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ TDZ during four weeks of dark culture followed by culture under a 16-h photoperiod. Multiple shoots (12.5 shoots per explant) were proliferated on half strength MS medium containing $4.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ TDZ and $2.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ IBA. On the other hands, the abnormally emerged shoots during the multiple shoot proliferation stage were recovered to normal shoots on half strength MS hormone free medium. Multiple shoots were well elongated and rooted on half strength MS medium with $0.1mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA. The plantlets were acclimatized up to 100% on TKS substrate after pretreating with $10mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA for 30 min. and these plantlets showed good growth as well.

In order to develop an efficient micropropagation technique effect of plant growth regulators (PGRs) affecting on shoot proliferation from shoot apex in Pyrus ussuriensis was tested. Generally, there was no conspicuous effect on shoot induction by the treatment of PGRs and one or two shoots/explant were induced when cultured on MS medium supplemented with BA and/or BA plus NAA. Both apical shoot necrosis and hyperhydric shoots were observed frequently in multiplied shoots, and callus was formed at the basal part of shoots. About 20% spontaneous rooting was achieved in growing shoots, however the proliferated shoots exhibited poor rooting rate in gelrite supported media. When we tried to ex vitro rooting of the shoot cutting, the shoot cuttings rooted up to 50% with 100 mg/L IBA application. The rooted plantlets grew normally after acclimatization in the greenhouse.
