A protocol for the in vitro propagation of Chamaecyparis obtusa was established in the present study. Multi-shoots were initiated from apical shoot explants from germinants after 10 weeks of culture on Litvay medium (LM) supplemented with different concentrations of cytokinin. The effects of pre-treatment with high concentrations of cytokinin and varying concentrations (0.2 to 5.0 mg/L) of zeatin on in vitro shoot elongation and shoot multiplication were investigated. Optimal shoot growth was achieved on LM medium, with over 10-mm shoots after 10 weeks of culture. In the anti-browning tests, ethanesulfonic acid triggered the least browning in the shoot tips. The highest multi-shoot induction was observed in the 0.5-mg/L zeatin treatments, which yielded 80% induction of shoots after 10 weeks of culture, and maximum shoot elongation was observed in the LM basal medium without the hormone. The highest rooting rates were 65% under 0.2 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid.

Shoot tip explants from germinated seeds of Alnus hirsuta were cultured on NT (Nagata and Takebe, 1971) mineral salts medium supplemented with 6% glucose, MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) vitamin mixture, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and $0-50\;\mu\textrm{M}$ 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Five $\mu\textrm{M}$ BAP was found to give the highest shoot multiplication rate. Accordingly about 200 shoots were obtained for further experiments by multiplying shoots on this medium for 4-5 months. Regardless of carbon sources, NT mineral medium produced 3-12 times of shoots than MS mineral medium did. On NT mineral medium, 3% sucrose, 3% glucose and 6% glucose yielded no significant differences. It was observed that media consisting of 1/4-1/2 strength NT mineral salts, 3% sucrose and $1-8\;\mu\textrm{M}$ IBA produced about 100% rooting rate. Almost 100% of the resulting plantlets survived after transfer to the soil by decreasing humidity stepwise.epwise.

The walnut (Juglans regia L.), a member of the Juglandaceae, is native to the mountain ranges of central Asia. This species of walnut is valued commercially for its nuts and in some areas for its timber. The seeds of walnut are recalcitrant and it has strong integument dormancy and their germination is irregular, making its natural propagation difficult. Low percentage of seed germination and long propagation cycle are the main problems of propagation. This study was conducted medium composition on in vitro plantlet regeneration from axillary buds of walnut. It has proved to be the most generally applicable and reliable method of in vitro propagation. Micropropagation culture that axillary buds are excised aseptically enables faster multiplication of plants. The axillary buds of walnut new cultivar "Sinlyeong" were cultured on two basal media which contained the different plant growth regulators depending on the respective shooting and rooting stage. After 12 weeks, the shoot generation rate was 85.3%, the shoot number and its length were 1.9/explant and 2.7 cm in the most favorable medium composition. The percentage of rooting was 25.4%. From these results, it was found the optimum basal medium and plant growth regulator for in vitro plant regeneration from axillary buds of walnut new cultivar "Sinlyeong". However, we have continued to search the other medium additives to enhance the rate of walnut root.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of polyamines, salt strength. sucrose and gelling agents on the regeneration of plantlets by meristem culture of Aloe arborescens Mill. and Aloe vera L.. Shoot multiplication was more effective when 10mg/ l spermine in Aloe arborescens and 1mg/ l spermidine in Aloe vera added into MS medium than when other polyamines were treated into media. A quarter strength of MS medium was effective for rooting of shoots regenerated. Higher concentration of sucrose (45g/ l) was more effective for shoot regeneration. Addition of 4g/ l gelrite into the medium was effective for induction of multiple shoots from Aloe than that of agar or other concentrations of gelrite. When plantlets regenerated from meristem culture were transferred to pot. survival rate of plantlets was 80% on perlite and was 95% on vermiculite. respectively.

In order to develop an efficient micropropagation protocal for Eucalyptus pellita, on in vitro culture system has been was established by inducing axillary buds from greenhouse stock materials. Among 6different media tested, DKW medium was the best ot induce bast induce both shoot proliferation and growth. Average number of proliferated shoots of 403per explant was obtained at the concentration of 0.1mg/LBA. Most of the stem materials excreted phenolic compounds at the proximal part of the explant and caused darking of the media. Therefore, it was necessary to transfer frequently to a fresh medium and/or to add activated charcoal at the concentration of 0.02％(w/v). Generally on vitro roots were formed easily on 1/2DKW medium with NAA treatment. All the explants rooted at the medium containing 0.2mg/L NAA and displayed vigorous root growth in vitro culture conditions. After transferred to an artificial soil mixture (peatmoss: vermiculrite: perlite, 1:1:1, v/v/v) in the greenhouse, most rooted plantlets survived well without any morphological abnormalities. The results show that the species can be micropropagated effectively by the application of axillary bud culture system.

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.

We examined the effect of carbon sources on the regeneration and ex vitro acclimatization of Lycopus lucidus Turcz. ex Benth. Plantlets were regenerated on the 1/2MS medium supplemented with different concentrations (3 ~ 10%) of sucrose and glucose. The sucrose concentrations of 3% and 5% that were supplied enhanced shoot multiplication and rooting but hampered high concentration growth (including the length of the shoot and root). During ex vitro acclimatization, the tuberization of the root, the root length, the shoot length and the survival rate of Lycopus lucidus plantlets grown using 3% and 5% sucrose were found to be better than the other carbon sources and concentrations. Thus a sucrose concentration of 3% and 5% in the 1/2MS medium appeared to be better for both in vitro growth and ex vitro acclimatization of Lycopus lucidus.

The Polygonatum odoratum cv. Gungangbeaksea, bred in Gyeongsangnam-Do Agricutural Research & Extension Service, was cultured in vitro for micropropagate rapidly through the culture of rhizome explants ($5{\times}5mm$). The $7{\times}7mm$ explants of adventitious multi-bud clusters (AMC), obtained through the culture of rhizome explants (MS + 3.0 mg/L BA) were cultured on MS media with BA and TDZ. The shoot multiplication was favorable on the MS medium containing 3.0 mg/L TDZ with 2.8 in shoot number. But the formation of AMC was low in all media tested. The explants of AMC were cultured on MS media containing 1.0~5.0 mg/L TDZ and NAA to multiplicate AMC more. The formation of AMC was a little more stimulated on combined MS media of TDZ and NAA, than that with TDZ alone. The multiplication of shoots and AMC was favorable on MS media with 3.0 mg/L TDZ and 5.0 mg/L NAA, and 5.0 mg/L TDZ and 3.0 mg/L NAA. As the concentration of MS salts increased, the formation of AMC was decreased. But the formation of AMC was more stimulated, as the concentration of sucrose increased to 7%. Therefore, the multiplication of shoots and AMC was suitable on media containing 3.0~5.0 mg/L TDZ and NAA, and 7% of sucrose. The explants of AMC were rooted on media with 3.0 mg/L IBA, or 2.0 mg/L NAA with more than 80% in rooting ratio. The plantlets were treated at $5^{\circ}C$ for 8 weeks, and cultured ex vitro for 8 weeks. The survival ratio of plantlets were 100% in vermiculite, and the mixed soil with perlite 1 volumn and vermiculite 1 volumn.

The medicinal value of the genus Cleome justifies bio-technological studies of Cleome rosea, a Brazilian annual species from sandy coastal ecosystems (restinga), which have been submitted to an intense process of antropogenic degradation. In the present work, was analyzed the influence of cytokinins, 6-benzyladenine (BA) and 6-furfurylaminopurine (kinetin) added to the Murashige and Skoog medium (MS), on the proliferation capacity of explants from the stem axis (hypocotyl, node and internode) for a period of five monthly subcultures (150 days). Regardless of the explant sources, plantlet regeneration by direct and indirect organogenesis was observed. The largest number of shoots proliferated through direct organogenesis was obtained on medium with 4.4 $\mu{M}$ BA. Also, the highest proliferation capacity through indirect organogenesis was found on medium with 4.4 $\mu{M}$ BA + 4.6 $\mu{M}$ kinetin. The presence of kinetin alone was not effective for multiplication of the species. Elongation and rooting were obtained when shoots were transferred onto growth regulator-free medium, and acclimatization rates from 70% to 81% were achieved depending on explant sources used. Plants were then successfully established in soil and showed normal phenotypes.
