Culture conditions for high Sequency somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in tissue cultures of sweet potato of two Korean cultivars 'Puyojaerae' and 'Yulmi' are described. Shoot apical meristem explants (height 150 $\mu\textrm{m}$; base: 350 $\mu\textrm{m}$) were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D. After 6 weeks of culture, greater than 80% of the survived explants produced embryogenic calli. When transferred onto MS medium with 0.1 mg/L each of 2,4-D and kinetin, the calli gave rise to somatic embryos at frequencies of 71% ('Puyojaerae') and 63% ('Yulmi'), respectively: When somatic embryos at various developmental stages measured in length were transversely cut into two halves and cultured on MS medium with 1 mg/L 2,L-D, the upper halves produced secondary embryos more frequently than the lower ones, and halves of somatic embryos less than 1 mm in length had a higher competence for secondary embryo formation than longer ones of either cultivar. However 'Puyojaerae' somatic embryo halves showed a higher frequency of secondary embryo formation than 'Yulmi' ones on the whole. Upon transfer onto MS basal medium, most of the primary and secondary somatic embryos underwent development into plantlets. The plantlets were transplanted to potting soil and grown to maturity in a phytotron. The overall results suggest that the shoot apical meristem culture system for somatic embryo formation in sweet potato previously established by us (SABRAOJ 21: 93-101) may be applicable regardless of it genotypes.

Immature embryos of Glycine max L. was cultured on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D). After 6 to 8 weeks of culture, immature embryos produced somatic embryos. Of somatic embryos, two cotyledonary embryo (14%), one cotyledonary embryo (37%), fused cotyledonary embryo (43%), and stunted globular embryos (6%) were observed. The procambial strand of cotyledons originated from circular procambial tissues of lower hypocotyl. The circular procambial tissues were independently divided into one or two procambial strand at the edge of cotyledonary-node, and then connected to each cotyledon to form somatic embryos with one or two cotyledons. When cotyledon was a fused type, the circular procambial strand in lower hypocotyl was continuously connected to the cotyledon. Also, somatic embryos with two cotyledons developed a functional shoot apex with the tunica-corpus structure. In contrast, somatic embryos with one or fused cotyledon formed an abnormal shoot apex without the tunica-corpus structure or with non-dome shape in the inter-cotyledonary area. These results indicated that the variation of cotyledon in somatic embryos is closely related to procambial differentiation and shoot apical meristem development.

In order to clarify the mecahnism of histological barriers to pathogens of witches' broom diseased in sweet potatoes, this experiment has been conducted to observe the relationship between pathological characters and the transfer of mycoplasmae in the shoot apex. The material used the experiment is the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lamm. Suwon 147). In the experiment regarding of mycoplasmae, the upper limit zone of transfer of mycoplasmae is examined by way of the process of free stock and the shoot apex of a infected part in nature, observed in the culture of each part of the diseased plant which is cut to a certain length. The pathological change pattern of tissues infected with mycoplasmae has been observed under the light and electron microscopes. As a result of this experiment, the following conclusion was arrived at. 1. It has been ascertained that the mycoplasmae are not existent in a promeristem and primary meristem zone from the meristem dome, and is existent in the lower part of the vascular differentiation zone, after which differential tissues the mycoplasmae become progressively enlarged, and before which undifferential tissues it become progressively immatured and diminished in size. 2. It can be suggested that mycoplasmae may not be existed in the shoot meristem, be cause the passing structures such as sieve area and plasmodesma which can be pass ed immatured mycoplasmae is undifferentiated. 3. In the tissue culture, free stock can be obtained in the zone between 1.0-1.5mm of the shoot apex, while it cannot in the 2.0-3.0mm zone, because of infection by mycoplasmae. It is suggested that immature mycoplasmae may be diffused according to temperature ($28{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) in tissue culture process.

Aseptic meristem of Fragaria ananassa 'Hokowase' were inoculated on Murashige and Skoog medium containing various levels of Benzylamiro purine(BA), IAA, and 2.4-D. Formations of shoots plantlets, roots and callus depend on hormone levels used. On medium containing high level of BA 1.0mg/l, multiple plantlets were formed, however, elongation of shoots was inhibited than on BA 0.5 mg/l. 1.0mg/l IAA induced root formation and 1.0mg/l+1.0mg/l BA inhibited root formation. Callus formation was occurred on the medium added 2.4-D. When plantlets were subcultured, formation of callus or shoot depend on BA/2.4-D ratio. 2.0mg/l 2.4-D+0.2mg/l BA and 0.5 mg/l 2.4-D+0.2mg/l BA induced callus formation and 2.0mg/l BA induced plantlet and shoot vigorously.

The effects of sucrose concentration and nitrogen source on shoot growth and in vitro formation of garlic (Allium sativum L. cv Seosan) bulblet were investigated in order to systematize propagation of high quality garlic through a shoot apical meristem culture. Shoot differentiation was not affected by sucrose concentration and nitrogen source, but plantlets which contain medium of NH$_4$- N or NH$_4$ + NO$_3$ were vigorous and healthy in .appearance. Shoot growth was vigorous in changeing of nitrogen source. The best quality of in vitro bulblets was obtained in culture on the medium containing 8% sucrose and NH$_4$ - N, and the formation of bulblet was more effective when plantlets were subjected to cold treatment before use. NH$_4$-N was a major factor for shoot growth and bulblet development, but NO$_3$-N was not and suppressed $K^{+}$absorption. The level of ethylene production was not affected by different nitrogen sources, however this production was enhanced in medium containing a higher concentration of sucrose.e.
