Several plant growth regulators were examined for on their effect on the in vitro propagation of Kalopanax pictus$(T_{HUNB}.)$ $(N_{AKAI}.)$ on WPM medium. Among the cytokinins tested, BA at $13.32\;{\mu}M$ appeared to be the most effective for multiple axillary shoot formation. Although the addition of $2.89\;{\mu}M\;GA_3$ promoted stem elongation, it produced morphologically abnormal leaves and stems. For rooting of the shoots, $4.9\;{\mu}M$ IBA seemed to be more effective than $2.69\;{\mu}M$ NAA. When the regenerated plants were transferred on artificial mixture containing vermiculite and peat-moss (1 : 1, v/v), 81% of them survived and grew normally.

Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa) is exotic plant and thus susceptible to cold climate in the middle part of Korean peninsular. Several hybrids have recently been developed to enhance cold tolerance by crossing them with domestic species (A. arguta), We have developed an efficient micropropagation technique for the hybrids using both axillary bud and callus culture systems. Shoot proliferation from axillary buds was possible on St medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/L Bh and 3.0 mg/L GA$_3$. In vivo cuttings of the proliferated shoots were more effective for root induction and subsequent survival than in vitro rooting. More than 95% of the plantlets were successfully transferred to field. Effective callus induction was achieved on MS or B$_{5}$ medium with 2,4-D or NAA. Although callus induction could be made from any combinations of media and auxins, shoot regeneration was observed only from the callus induced on medium containing NAA.A.

Micropropagation and adventitious root production via the culture of Polygonatum odoratum were performed. Stem segments of seedlings of Polygonatum odoratum were the most efficient explants for adventitious shoot formation compared to leaf and root segments. Exogenous cytokinin treatment was required for adventitious shoot formation. Among the cytokinin (BA, Kinetin and Zeatin) tested, BA was most effective for shoot formation from stem segments. Auxin (NAA or IBA) in combination with cytokinin significantly enhanced adventitious shoot formation. Twenty five percent of explants produced adventitious shoots on medium with 2.0 mg/L BAP alone, while 83% of explants produced adventitious shoots on medium with the combination of 2.0 mg/L BAP and 0.1 mg/L IBA. Rooting of adventitious shoots was achieved after transferring to 112 MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L IBA and 0.5 mg/L zeatin. When stem segments were cultured on MS medium with various kinds of auxin (IBA, NAA and 2,4-D), adventitious roots were formed from callus. frequency of adventitious root formation was highest in 2,4-D than NAA and IBA. When roots were in clusters together with parental stem segments, growth of roots actively occurred in hormone-free MS liquid medium. The above results represent that possible application for the mass production of roots and plantlets through in vitro culture system of Polygonatum odoratum.

To establish in vitro axillary bud culture conditions of Echinosophora koreensis Nakai, one of Korean endemic endangered species famous for beautiful flowers, we tested the influence of plant growth regulators (PGRs) in shooting and rooting stage from in vitro plants. In shoot multiplication, addition of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) to the media induced 2.5 to 3 shoots per bud during 4 weeks of culture. And media including 0.5 mg L^-1 thidiazuron (TDZ) produced 3 to 4 shoots per bud. However, zeatin and isopentenyl adenine (2-ip) were not successful to increase shoot number, and the combination treatments of BA with other PGRs were also not effective. Shoots were smaller than 2 cm in length, in most of the treatments. In rooting, naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) treatments in the range of 0.5 to 4.0 mg L^-1 appeared to increase rooting rate by 10% to 60% approximately when compared with the control but roots developed with callus clusters. Indole butyric acid (IBA) addition had little effect on rooting (below 10%), while some roots were longer than in NAA treatments and some shoots were longer on high IBA concentrations (4.0 to 8.0 mg L^-1). It is suggested that micropropagation is a highly applicable and promising to multiplication and conservation of rare and endangered endemic species.

Cryopreservation is one of the ideal and suitable methods for long-term storage of plant germplasm. The plant contaminated with diseases and pathogens are decreased the multiplication rate, survival rate and high quality of plants after cryopreservation. The aim of this work was to improve a micropropagation method for lily in Korea, which is indigenous plant. In the last process of rinsing scales after surface-sterilization, we tried to control the diseases and pathogens lived within the tissue by rinsing in 0.03% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) instead of sterile distilled water. Bulb scales of Lilium were cultured in vitro on MS medium supplemented with Plant Preservative Mixture (PPM). The results showed that L. tsingtauense accessions were observed ranged from 53.9 to 100% with a mean value of 76.8% and L. hansonii accessions were checked from 84.5 to 85.5% with a mean of 85% survival rate. The newly small bulb formed from bulb-scales was transferred to MS medium. We checked the presence of microorganisms and survival rate after 3 weeks in culture after examination of bacterial incidences. The results indicated that the non-contamination rate were shown ranged from 75.0 to 94.1% with mean value of 83.2% in L. tsingtauense species, and that L. hansonii were observed 85.1 to 91.7% with mean value of 88.4%. This study will provide a valuable basis for establishment of effective axenic cultures for in vitro micropropagation of Korean native lily species.

Immature flowers and lateral buds of Neoregeria carorinae cv. Tricolor were cultured for micropropagation and the collecting times of materials, growth regulators and theirs concentrations, and cultural methods on the formation of adventitious buds and growth were investigated in this experiment The formation rate was the highest in immature flowers collected at 4weeks after flower bud differentiation and in buds at 7weeks after flower differentiation of adventitious buds. MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L BA was the most favorable for the formation of adventitious buds. Solid medium was more effective for the formation of adventitious buds than liquid one. MS medium with 1.0 mg/L NAA was the most suitable for the rooting of regenerated shoot. Liquid medium was effective for the rooting of regenerated shoot than solid one.

Shoot tips of chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita Thunb.) were cultured on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L BA to produce micro-tubers in vitro. To stimulate the formation of shoots and micro-tubers, and produce large micro-tubers, the sections of micro-tubers were cultured on MS media with BA and IAA. The shoot multiplication, and the micro-tuber formation and growth were very effective on the media containing 2.0 mg/L BA and 0.5~1.0 mg/L IAA. Sucrose added to MS medium with 2.0 mg/L BA and 0.5 mg/L IAA to stimulate more micro-tuber growth. The medium added 50 g/L sucrose was very effective in the increase of plant fresh weight and micro-tuber growth. After 4 weeks' culture of micro-tuber sections on the medium with 2.0 mg/L BA, 0.5 mg/L IAA and 50 g/L sucrose, the liquid media were added into the same vessels. The micro-tuber growth was stimulated remarkably by the addition of liquid medium. The addition of 25 $m{\ell}$ liquid medium containing 10 g/L activated charcoal, 3x MS salts and 250 g/L sucrose was the most effective in micro-tuber growth.

The present study focused on the establishment of micropropagation protocol for the high value Pluchea (P.) indica (L.) Less., genotype, an important medicinal plant and evaluation of the diuretic activity of the leaf extract of the tissue cultured plant. Leaf explants, nodal segments and shoot tips were cultured in MS medium supplemented with auxin and cytokinin and their combinations. With the objective of inducing callus giving rise to new adult plants, naphthalene acetic acid was found to be most effective for (80%) for callus induction. The methanolic extract of leaves of the micropropagated P. indica was investigated for its diuretic activity in Wistar albino rats. Urinary excretion parameters were studied for evaluation of diuretic activity using Frusemide (20 mg/kg, p.o.) as standard. The extract showed significant diuretic activity at the doses of 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg. p.o. An oral acute toxicity study for the extract was carried out and the $LD_{50}$ value was found to be 2,825 mg/kg body weight.

Effective micropropagation was achieved by axillary bud culture from stool shoots of 15-year-old Betula platyphylla var. japonica. Shoot development and proliferation from the explants were successful on WPM supplemented with 0.5 or 1.0mg/l BAP. All the regenerated shoots rooted when transfered to GD medium containing 0.2mg/l IBA. After transplaning to soil more than 95% of the plantlets survived and showed normal growth. The results demonstrate that masspropagation of selected mature trees is feasible using tissue culture technique.
