An effective rapid propagation method was established through in vitro cultures of the medicinal plant, Cudrania tricuspidata. In vitro plantlets were obtained from in vitro germinated seeds. The various levels of cytokinins (BAP, Kinetin and TDZ) were tested on multiple shoot formation from plantlets. BAP (1.0 mg/l) treatment induced highest number of multiple shoots. Single shoot cultures gave higher initial shoot numbers than 5 shoots per culture. Among the various culture media, the shoot elongation was optimal on 2 MS basal medium without growth regulators. The IAA (2.0 mg/l) treatment induced highest number of roots. IBA (2.0 mg/l) treatment more promoted in vitro root growth than other concentrations. Rooted shoots were transferred directly to small pots with an artificial soil and successfully acclimatized.

Culture conditions for high frequency embryogenesis and plant regeneration in anther cultures of various F$_1$ hybrid and homozygous lines of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) are described. Anthers pigmented less than halfway from the distal end were dissected from the flower bud in which petals elongated 2 mm higher than the receptacle. They were placed on Dumas medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.1 mg/L kinetin. After four weeks of culture, embryos began to appear on anthers. After eight weeks of culture, frequencies of embryo formation reached up to 58.3%. Upon transfer to MS basal medium, greater than 95% of embryos developed into plantlets.

In order to contribute to the Korean tea-plant culture and tea industry by means of increasing the production of tea-plants, I have performed the tissue culture of the organs of the anther, leaf and stem. As for the culture-material, I have used the anther of tea (Thea sinensis) at the tetrad uninucleate microspore stage and used medium of modified Murashige and Skoog as the basal medium supplemented with the growth regulators of NAA and 2, 4-D, yeast, kinetin and others at various concentrations. As for the handling of material, I have followed the common methods of sterilization and microtoming and paraffine imbedding method and observed systematically periodic changes of the microspores in culture. I have divided the leaf, stem and root into segments and sterilized them and used the modified Murashige and Skoog as the basal medium and observed the differentiation of roots and callus and the results are as follows. 1. In case of anther, I have found 2n callus was found in 30 out of 100 segments in M2 medium. 2. The differentiation of roots appeared in 24.5% of total leaf segments cultured and in 50.5% of stem and in 43.9% of root. 3. When the differentiation of stem in different parts was observed, the most frequent differentiation was found in the second part of all the 4 parts. 4. The most frequent formation of callus was noticed from the anther-walls in case of anther culture and from the veins in case of leaf culture. It is concluded that the seedlings of tea-plant could be multiplied most by means of tissue culture of the second part of the tea-plant stem and reduction in the expenditures of tea-plant propagation was possible through tissue culture.

Grapevine leafroll-associated 3 closterovirus (GLRaV-3) is phloem limited virus, and one of the most severe viral diseases found in Korea. However, nonhomogenous distribution and low concentration and seasonal variations of GLRaV-3 in grapevines remain as main problems which prevent the introduction and molecular biology or serology experiments. Virus-infected plantlet in vitro was obtained from node tissue cuttings, which was GLRaV-3 infected 'kyoho' vines. The amount of purified virus was highest in vitro plantlet. Moreover, viruses seem to be relatively homogeneously distributed in all organs including leaf, stem and callus derived from in vitro plantlets. RT-PCR detection using in vitro plantlet tissue as template was most effective. When comparing ELISA to RT-PCR, RT-PCR detection was 1,000 times as effective as ELISA. These results can be explained by improved quality such as tenderness or less tannins in plantlet in vitro. In conclusion, until infected herbaceous host will be available, tissue culture can be usefully adopted as a technique for a good source of GLRaV-3 closterovirus for further studies.

Wild garlic (Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum, AVVP) is a nontimber forest product used as an edible and medicinal vegetable. AVVP is usually propagated form offspring bulbs but it takes a long time to harvest. Using tissue culture technology could overcome this problem. This study investigated the optimal conditions for shoot multiplication, root growth, and plant growth by scooping AVVP bulbs. AVVP bulbs harvested from Ulleung Island, Korea, the main producer of AVVP, were surface-sterilized and used for in vitro propagation. Shoot multiplication was performed by the scooping method. More than five multiple shoots were induced from scooped tissue in Quoirin and Lepoivre (QL) medium containing plant growth regulators (PGRs); the maximum number of multiple shoots were induced from scooped tissue in QL medium containing 0.45 μM thidiazuron (TDZ) after 16 weeks of culture. Roots were induced directly at the base of the shoots in all treatments. In vitro rooting depended on the type of PGRs, and the best root-inducing treatment was QL medium containing 9.84 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Plants with in vitro roots were transferred to pots containing artificial soil and successfully acclimatized for 4 weeks. The acclimatized plants showed a survival rate of 80% after 20 weeks and gradually promoted growth depending on the acclimatization period. The results of this study will be of great help to AVVP dissemination through sustainable mass propagation.

This study was carried out to identify varietal difference and the inheritance of the ability of plant regeneration in anther culture of rice. The anthers of 33 Japonica, 11 Indica/Japonica, and 3 Indica rice cultivars were culture on $N_6-Y$_1$$ medium with 1 mg/L NAA and 2 mg/L kinetin. The remarkable variability in plant regeneration were observed among the genotypes, ranging from 0.0% to 19.4% Most of Japonica rices were resulted to have better culturability than that of Indica/Japonica and Indica type cultivars. Newly developed Japonica rices, 'Ilmibyeo' and 'Hangnambyeo' showed to have regenerability with the frequency of 19.4% and 18.1% respectively. The segregation mode for callus formation and plant regenerationin anther culture of F$_2$ population of 'Milyang 23/Chucheongbyeo' showed a continuous variation. The variation of plant regeneration frequency in anther culture of F$_2$ plants ranged from 0% to 33.3% with a mean of 6.3% The broad-sense heritability estimated from the ability of plant regeneration was considerably high (82.7%).

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs), which were related to the ability of callus induction and plant regeneration in seed culture of rice, were analyzed using a mapping population from a cross between the rice cultivars 'Samgang' (tongil type) and 'Nagdong' (japonica). A tongil type rice cultivar, 'Samgang' showed lower frequency (20%) of plant regeneration than that (35%) of japonica rice, 'Nagdong'. Transgressive segregations were observed for the ability of callus induction and plant regeneration from the seed-derived calli of 58 doubled haploid (DH) lines. The ability of plant regeneration of 58 doubled haploid lines showed a continuous distribution with comparatively wide range (10.0 to 66.7%) of variation. Composite interval mapping analysis was used to identify the QTLs controlling callus induction and plant regeneration ability. Four significant QTLs, qCWS6, qCWS8, qCWS9 and qCWS11, associated with callus weight per seed were detected on chromosomes 6, 8, 9, and 11 with LOD values of 3.30, 2.60, 2.70 and 2.43, explaining 36% of the total phenotypic variation. Three significant QTLs, qPR1, qPR6, and qPR11, for the ability of plant regeneration were located on chromosome 1, 6, and 11 at LOD score of 2.25, 2.15 and 2.55, accounting for 24 % of the total phenotypic variation. The present study should be useful for improving the efficiency of plant regeneration in tissue culture of indica rice by means of marker-assisted selection.

This study was conducted to obtain the basic breeding information of Colocasia esculenta Schott. Effect of supplemental plant growth regulators and genotype difference were investigated on dormant bud tissue for proliferation. The plant regeneration ratio, plant height and root length were the best upon mixed treatment of 0.8mg/L IAA and 2.0mg/L zeatin. Both leaf weight and root weight were heavy upon culture in a dark condition. The leaf and root weights were heaviest in 6Pie sucrose concentrations. In several collected area the heaviest one was Binnangxin and then in the order of Suwon, Wanju and Puan. Genotype differences of tuber diameter and tuber weight were found in Suwon. Tuber weight was found in the order of Suwon (862mg) >Wanju(723mg) >Puan(649mg) >Binnangxin (424mg).
