This experiments were conducted to determine the effect of thidiazuron on forming tuberlets and plant regeneration of Pinellia ternata T. by tissue culture. The addition of $5\;{\mu}M$ TDZ to the medium had better regeneration than that of any other treatments of NAA and TDZ. At the combination treatments of NAA and TDZ, as the level of thidiazuron increased, the rate of shoot regeneration was incresed while the increment of NAA concentration inhibited the rate of shoot regeneration. The supplement of $5\;{\mu}M$ thidiazuron produced the best number of micro-tubers per explant and the number of micro-tuber formed was 25 in MS medium and 29 in MG medium on 30 day culture, respectively. Microtuber formation was the best on MG medium with 1.0 mg/l NAA and $5\;{\mu}M$ thidiazuron. MG medium was superior to MS and B5 medium for the growth of tuberlets. Half strength of MS medium with NAA 2 mg/l was the most effective for root formation. Rooting ability on nursery soil of plantlets produced in in vjtro was good as a 80% after 3 weeks.

This research was conducted to investigate effect the plant growth regulators (PGRs) on the characteristics of fruit and flesh softening, using GA3 and thidiazuron (TDZ) treatments in 'Heukboseok' grapes. The total yield obtained under PGR treatment was 88.3% lower than the target production when a single treatment with $GA_3$ of low concentrations was used, but the expected yield was recovered by combined treatment with TDZ and $GA_3$. When harvested on the basis of color, the harvest rate up to 100 days after full bloom (DAFB) was low with the $GA_3$ single treatment, but was increased by the addition of TDZ, with the second TDZ mixed treatment being particularly effective. The soluble solids content in the PGR-treated samples demonstrated no significant changes after 90 DAFB, while the acidity content decreased rapidly starting from 90 DAFB. Measured on the basis of sugar and acidity content, maturity was reached much earlier in treated fruit than in the non-treated fruit. Firmness was maintained at a higher level until the final harvest time after PGR treatment compared to untreated grapes according to epidermis thickness and flesh density increase to activity cell division and expansion by $GA_3$ and TDZ. In particular, the fruit quality was improved based on the delay of softening in primary and secondary treatments of $25mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;GA_3+2.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ TDZ. The production of seedless fruit was difficult, even with the inclusion of TDZ, reaching the highest seedless rate of only 65.5%. Fruit cracking was rare, occurring at a rate of about 0.0~0.9% in all treatments. Accordingly, 'Heukboseok' grapes should be harvested within 100 days after full bloom (DBFB) before a rapid decrease of firmness, conferred by primary and secondary treatments with $25mg{\cdot}L^{-1}\;GA_3+2.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ TDZ.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of plant growth regulators on the formation of adventitious bud callus(ABC) and plant regeneration in shoot tip culture of Zantedeschia spp. 'Florex Gold'. Treatment of $0.1mgL^{-1}\;N$-phenyl-N'-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-ylurea(thidiazuron, TDZ) was more promotive for formation of ABC in shoot tip culture than 6-benzylaminopurine(BA) treatment, and short shoots were developed. Comparing to treatment of BA, mixing treatment of BA and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid(NAA) inhibited the formation of ABC and multiple shoot. The proliferation of ABC derived from sections(0.3 cm) of ABC produced by shoot tip culture in medium supplemented with $0.1mgL^{-1}\;TDZ$ was more effective in medium with $0.1mgL^{-1}\;TDZ$ or $2.0mgL^{-1}\;BA$ than the other treatments. The shoot regeneration and growth from sections of ABC was more promotive in treatment of $0.001mgL^{-1}\;TDZ$. Also, the root growth from sections of ABC was better in medium with $0.001mgL^{-1}\;TDZ$ or $0.2mgL^{-1}\;BA$. Consequently, in vitro mass production of Zantedeschia spp. 'Florex Gold' can be obtained via indirect organogenesis through plant regeneration and proliferation of ABC which was derived from shoot tip culture at $0.1mgL^{-1}\;TDZ$.

Shoot formation was investigated from in vitro cultivation of exotic hybrid poplar (Populus koreana ${\times}$ P. trichocarpa) with a specific stomatal character occurring both upper and lower surface of leaves. Two different explants (stem and leaf segment) of Peace poplar were cultured on half strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with the various concentrations of thidiazuron as a plant growth regulator. Most adventitious shoots were produced from excised ends of stem or mid-veins of leaf segments. The highest average numbers of shoots were 7.1 and 5.3 with the treatments of 0.02mg/L TDZ in both explants of stem and leaf segment. The highest shooting rates were achieved to 83.3％ and 47.6％ with the concentrations of 0.01mg/L and 0.02mg/L TDZ by axillary bud and leaf cultures, respectively.

The purpose of this study was carried out to investigate the effects of plant growth regulators on in vitro propagation of Liliem cernum Komarov. Small bulblets were poliferated from callus explants after 2 weeks and leaf, root and bulb were formed after 4 weeks culture. Leaf differentiation was promoted vigorously by the combination of TDZ 0.1 mg/L and NAA 0.01 mg/L(87.5%). The rate of root differentiation was the greatest at BA 0.2 mg/L alone(81.8%). The rate of callus formation was the high in medium containing TDZ. The number of bulblets and leaves formed in bulb scales was the greatest at TDZ 0.1 mg/L(5.7). Also, the longest length of total length, leaf and root length were in Zeatin 1.0 mg/L + NAA 0.1 mg/L(10.5 cm). However the longest bulblet was in TDZ 0.1 mg/L(1.4 cm).

This experiment was conducted to find the effects of a $GA_3$ and thidiazuron (TDZ) on seedless rate, harvest time, fruit cracking and fruit quality in 'Kyoho' grapes over two years from 2008 to 2009. In 2008, fruit clusters were dip treated with $GA_3$ $25.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ twice at full bloom (FB) and 14 days after full bloom (DAFB) in a combination with TDZ 0 or $2.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. Berry seedless rate and berry enlargement were slightly improved only when TDZ was added to the second $GA_3$ treatment at 14 DAFB, compared to $GA_3$ + TDZ treatments at both FB and 14 DAFB. However, berry cracking rate was significantly increased by any plant growth regulator (PGR) treatments compared to non treatment. In 2009, $GA_3$ at $12.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $25.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ was dip treated twice at FB and 14 DAFB while TDZ $2.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ was treated only at 14 DAFB. Berry cracking rate was depended on the concentration of $GA_3$ applied. The higher concentration at $25.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ significantly increased berry cracking rate while the lower concentration at $12.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ had no effect. Also, the addition of TDZ to $GA_3$ $25.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ at 14 DAFB, substantially decreased the cracking rate to the level of untreated control. Although all PGR treatments advanced fruit maturity, the most significant advance occurred when TDZ was added to $GA_3$ $12.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ only at the second dip. Considering the overall aspects related to fruit maturity and quality, we concluded that the double applications of $12.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $GA_3$ at FB and 14 DAFB with addition of $2.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ TDZ only at 14 DAFB was appropriate to produce about 400-500 g size of seedless 'Kyoho' grape cluster having 35-40 berries.

This study was conducted to regenerate shoots from internode sections(about 1mm in thickness) of Ardicia pusilla de Candolle. Internode sections were cultured on MS medium supplemented with TDZ or both TDZ and IBA. At one month after culture, primodium, which looks like protocorm like body(PLB) of orchid, appeared around swollen internodes. And then it grew and changed into the shape similar to granule of orange at two or three months after culture. At four to five months after culture, explants covered with them became a cluster, and then multiple shoots were regenerated from them. Primodia formation was the best when internode was cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.25 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ thidiazuron(TDZ) and 0.5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ indole-3-butyric acid(IBA). That internodes were cultured on MS medium supplemented with either higher concentration of TDZ than that of IBA, or equal concentration of TDZ and IBA, or TDZ only was little effective for primodia formation.

In order to micropropagate uniform plantlets of Alocasia cadieri Chantrier in vitro, the shoot tips were cultured on media containing various concentrations of BA and thidiazuron (TDZ). Multiple shoot formation from shoot tips was very effective on medium containing 0.1mg/L TDZ. The formed shoots from shoot tips were separated into a shoot, and cultured on media with BA, TDZ, and NM combination for proliferation. The shoots were multiplied very vigorously on medium with 0.5mg/L TDZ and 0.5mg/L NAA. The rooting and growth of multiplied shoots were more effective on medium with 2.0g/L activated charcoal, rather than those with IBA and NAA. Rooted plantlets show high survival in soil mixed with perlite 1: vermiculite 1 or vermiculite alone.

The present study was conducted to establish an effect and a proper concentration for treatment with gibberellic acid ($GA_3$) and thidiazuron (TDZ), resulting with increase berry size and yield in Gaeryangmeoru grapes. Berry size was increased by treatment with $GA_3$, and the fruit clusters obtained for the groups treated with $GA_3$ concentrations of 100 and $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ were bigger. The berry number was also enhanced in $GA_3$ treated groups, but the soluble solid content and acidity was not significantly different. Damage caused by $GA_3$ treatment, such as peel pollination and berry shatter, was observed in the group with $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. The berry size was larger in group treated with a high concentration of $GA_3$ and TDZ respectively than in those treated with low concentrations in the treatment mixed $GA_3$ and TDZ; however, fruit with low soluble solid content and high acidity was harvested after $GA_3$ and TDZ treatment due to delay of berry ripening. The pericarp tissue layers were not changed, but the distance from the epidermis layer to vascular bundle tissue was increased as a result of $GA_3$ and TDZ treatment. Therefore, $GA_3$ and TDZ did not affect an cell division but not cell size, resulting in an enlarged berry size. It is necessary to treat plant growth regulators 2~3 times and immediately after berry set to enhance berry set rate, because the period of berry set is short. This study suggests that the proper concentration for enhancing berry size and set were up to $100mg{\cdot}L^1$ $GA_3$ or $50mg{\cdot}L^{-1}GA_3+1.25mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ TDZ, and it is necessary to pay attention to harvest mature fruits because of the delay of ripening caused by the usage of TDZ.

This study was conducted to establish mass propagation system from the tissue culture using immature embroys in Eleutherococus senticosus. Immature embroys from seeds were removed under the microscope and placed on modified SH and WPM medium containing several plant growth regulators. The calli were well formed on media containing 1mg/l of 2,4-D on modified SH medium and 1mg/l of 2,4-D and 3mg/l of TDZ on WPM medium. Shoot regeneration was better on modified SH or WPM medium with combination of high concentration of TDZ and low concentration of 2,4-D. Treatment of 2,4-D alone was better than treatment of TDZ alone in callus induction on modified SH medium but plant regeneration reversed. Treatment of 2.4-D and TDZ combination was better than treatment of 2,4-D alone in callus induction on WPM medium. The results of callus formation and shoot regeneration on WPM media differed to those of SH media. The rate of callus formation was nearly 83% when 2,4-D was added to SH medium on concentration of 1mg/l. The rate of callus formation was nearly 38% when combination treatment of 2,4-D 1mg/l and TDZ 3mg/l was added to WPM medium. Also, plant regeneration differed depending on the mature degree of immature embryo.
