Adventitious buds were produced from the cultures of mature zygotic embryos of Larix leptolepis with the highest frequency of 91.7% in SH medium containing 1.0 mg/L zeatin. The most effective cytokinin combination for inducing adventitious buds was 1.0 mg/L zeatin + 1.0 mg/L thidiazuron (40.3%). The highest mean number of adventitious buds induced in 1.0 mg/L zeatin + 1.0 mg/L 2iP or 1.0 mg/L zeatin + 1.0 mg/L kinetin combined treatments. Elongation of the adventitious buds occurred the best on half strength LM salts medium, on which the buds elongated upto 27 mm. Also, the supplement of activated charcoal in medium suppressed the elongation of the adventitious buds. The highest frequency (23.3%) of rooting from elongated shoots was obtained on the medium containing 5.0 mg/L IBA and 0.2 mg/L NAA. The highest number (3.5) of roots was induced on the medium containing 5.0 mg/L IBA alone.

This study was carried out to establish simple and easy methods to judge the survival, senescence and death of the protoplasts in culture system by identifying the marker substance related to metabolic status of the cells. When rice and tobacco protoplasts were cultured in MS and KM-8P media containing 2,4-D or coconut milk ABA decreased especially in the media containing coconut milk, but GA$_3$, IAA and zeatin increased as the cultures progressed. The decrease of ABA and increase of zeatin was especially remarkable. When the supraoptimal amount of osmoticum (mannitol) was added to the culture media ABA decreased after a momentary increase, but other growth hormones slowly increased as the concentration of the osmoticum increased. Contents of individual hormones were contrasted when protoplasts rice and tobacco were cultured on the same medium containing 10mM super mine or NaCl. Tobacco protoplasts were more sensitive to NaCl stress and stopped protoplast division at the late stage of culture. Protoplast viability decreased greatly in 48 hours when the protoplast were at 32$^{\circ}C$ on a medium lacking several components. ABA content increased up to 10 days from incubation in negative proportion to the protoplast viability. On the other hand contents of other growth hormones, especially zeatin, decreased. The present results clearly showed that the contents of individual growth hormones in the plant protoplasts in culture varied sensitively in response to environmental factors that they are faced with. This indicates that the physiological states of the protoplast, such as survival, senescence or death can be simply judged based on the quantitative analysis of those hormones by ELISA.

Present study describes a method on the application of efficient tissue culture systems for the micro-propagation of juvenile and mature sawtooth oak(Quercus acutissima). Nodal segments with axillary buds were used as initial explant sources. WPM(Woody Plant Medium) was the best in growth and proliferation of shoot among the media tested. Although the single effect of zeatin revealed on two dorminant shoot elongation with normal growth until the elevation of levels up to 3.0mg/l, BAP($N^6$-benzyl amino purine) usually showed better response than zeatin on shoot multiplication and/or elongation. In addition, the incorporation of BAP and zeatin onto the culture media represents more effectiveness in shoot proliferation and its growth. Optimum concentrations of BAP and zeatin were 0.5 and 0.05~1.0mg/l, respectively. Ninety percent of the proliferated shoots was rooted on half-strength GD (Gresshoff and Doy, 1972) medium containing 0.5mg/l IBA(indole butyric acid) in 4 weeks after culture. More than 70% of the rooted plantlets survived after 5 months of transplanting into artificial soil mix containing equal amount of peatmoss and perlite. Among 27 plus tree clones which were grafted twice onto the juvenile rootstocks, only 4 clones revealed the possibility for shoot multiplication through tissue culture system. The capacity for the micropropagation using mature explant sources was highly depended on clonal differences compared with those of octet age. More than 90% of rooting ratio was obtained from the best responding clone. Among the 7 rooting media tested, GD medium was the best far rooting. The most effective rooting was obtained on half-strength GD medium containing 0.2 to 2.0mg/l IBA. More than 60% of rooted plantlets survived after 5 months of transplanting into the artificial soil mix.

This experiment was designed to improve the in vitro production system of apple rootstock M.26 as being influenced by the growth regulators, TDZ, BA, IAA, IBA, zeatin, and GA$_3$. Different levels of potassium humate (KH), known as cytokinin and auxin-like substance, were also supplemented to the MS basal medium along with IBA 0.6 mg/L to find out it effect on root formation in apple rootstock M.26. ID initiate and establish the in vitro multiplication of shoots byway of meristem culture, MS medium added with zeatin 1.0 mg/L was found to be the most suitable, showing the 100% of survival rate of shoot tips. A combination of thidiazuron (TDZ) 0.2 mg/L and NAA 0.5 mg/L promoted the shoot proliferation when shoot tips were used as explants. MS basal medium plus IBA 0.6 mg/L was very effective for root induction, but an addition of potassium humate (250 mg/L) to the medium containing IBA 0.6 mg/L stimulated the induction and proliferation of the rook by far the better.

To select the section with shoot formation ability, the calli and shoot formation from three sections (first leaf including cotyledonary node, hypocotyl and cotyledon explants) of 5-days-seedlings of soybean were induced on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BAP, 3% sucrose, and 0.3% gelrite for one month. The first leaf section exhibited the highest shoot formation rate (51%), followed the hypocotyl section (10%) and the cotyledon section (0%). The shoot formation rates and shoot number of the four excised sections (whole first leaf, a half of the first leaf, a third of the first leaf and only node) of the first leaf were also investigated on the same medium. A half of the first leaf explant and the third of the first leaf explant had higher shoot formation rates (76-80%) and numbers (3-4 / explants) than those in other two explants. Effects of six cytokinins (kinetin, zeatin, BAP, 2iP, PBA, and TDZ) on shoot formation were determined, using the half of the first leaf explants. Zeatin (1.0 mg/L) exhibited the highest in shoot formation rate (94%) and numbers (8 / explant). In addition, the combined effects of three cytokinins (zeatin, BAP, and TDZ; 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg/L, respectively) and an auxin (IAA; 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mg/L) were determined. The combination (1:1, v/v) of zeatin (1.0 mg/L) and IAA (1.0 mg/L) exhibited the highest in shoot formation rate (96%) and numbers (16 / explant), twice more than zeatin (1.0 mg/L) alone. The shoot cuttings were transferred and cultivated on the rooting media supplemented with only auxin, IBA at various concentrations. The highest root formation (8 / shoot) was achieved on the medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/L. After 4 weeks of cultivation, the plantlets with an extensive root system were transplanted in pots with a soil mixture of vermiculite and fine sand. Transferred to field, about 75% of the plantlets survived.

Five different poplar hybrids were tested for rescuing embryo to elongate in vitro plantiets after hybridization. Ovaries and ovules were cultured on Woody Plant Medium (WPM) supplemented with cytokinins, 6-benzylamine (BA) and zeatin. Multiple shoots were initiated from half section of capsule with immature embryos after 21 days from pollination and tiny shoots were formed after the expansion of cotyledons in ovule cultures. Germinating response was better in intraspecific hybrids $(6.53\pm1.66)$ than interspecific crosses $(0.93\pm0.54)$ from half section of capsules on WPM medium. In general, zeatin was better than BA in inducing multiple shoots from isolated ovules. The highest average number $(19.40\pm4.53)$ of shoots was produced from immature ovules of 21 days post-pollination of WPM medium supplemented with 5.0 mg/L zeatin. The highest percentage of germination was 93% from the half section of in vitro ovary cultures. Soil acclimation was successfully conducted in cell tray containing artificially mixed soil with 96% survival rate.

Calli were induced by culturing the leaf segment of Actinidia deliciosa ${\times}$ A. arguta clone 118 on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0.05 mg/L BA for 8 weeks in light condition. The induced calli were inoculated in liquid MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.1 mg/L NAA, 0.05 mg/L BA and 3% sucrose to establish cell suspension culture. The cells at the exponential stage and the stationary stage could be observed between 5-11 days and after that 12 days in culture, respectively. The fresh weight of callus induced from the suspended cells did not vary much among the media containing eight different combinations of plant growth regulators tested. The highest frequency of shoot induction (88.3%) was observed in MS medium containing 2.0 mg/L zeatin. Either BA or zeatin mixed with thidiazuron (TDZ) seemed to be effective in shoot induction. The induced shoots were transferred to MS medium containing 0.2 mg/L zeatin for further shoot growth. And then the shoots were transferred to Standardi (ST) medium containing 1.0 mg/L indolebutyric acid (IBA) for rooting. Plantlets could be obtained through cell suspension culture of Actinidia deliciosa ${\times}$ A. arguta clone 118.

Effects of growth regulators, scion length and scion diameter on shooting and seedling characteristics were investigated to increase seedling products by root cuttings of lacquer tree. Shoots developed and emerged above-ground from the root scion at 3∼5 weeks after cut plating, most of that was a shoot but some of that were 2∼3 shoots. Otherwise, non-shooting was the reason that cortical layer was decayed. Soaking in zeatin was the most effective on shooting of root cuttings and high concentration was effective. Also soaking on high contents of BA or kinetin was effective on shooting but was lower totally than soaking on zeatin. Seedling characteristics among 3 growth regulators and 3 concentrations were not any difference in statistical significant, but were move excellent than control. As root scion was tall, shoots were developed at early. 15cm length scion was the most excellent to use seedlings but 3cm length scion was wickedness. 10cm scion, however, was highest to product of seedlings than any others. 0.3∼0.5 cm length scion was showed 76% shooting rate at 10 weeks after cut planting, but seedling characteristics were not any difference among the kind of 3 diameters.
