In this study, plant regeneration through in vitro culture from plantlet stems of Yooja (C. junos Sieb.) and trifoliate orange (P. trifoliata Rafin.) was attempted to make mass-production system of virus-free plants having the same genotype with mother plant. In order to investigate physiological change depending on the developmental stage of plant regeneration, the changes of total protein, peroxidase and esterase activity and their isozyme patterns as well were examined in 1/2 MS medium. The results are as follows : 1. The MS medium for the optimal callus induction and shoot formation was utilized. The medium was supplemented either with 2,4-D and Kinetin or with BA and NAA. The optimal concentrations were the combination of 1.0mg/ 2,4-D +0.3mg/ Kinetin and 1.0mg BA +0.3mg NAA in callus induction and shoot formation, respectively. 2. For the plant regeneration from somatic embryos, 1/2 MS medium was used with supplements of growth regulators (free, 1.0mg/ IBA +1.0mg/ BA ,0.5mg/ IBA +0.5mg/ BA). Shooting and rooting were the best in the treatment of 0.5mg/ IBA and 0.5mg/ BA combination. 3. The total protein content has a tendency of increase with the developmental stage of embryo, but it was decreased at the plantlet. Also it was the highest at 8 and 6 weeks stage in C. junos Sieb. and P. trioliata Rafin, respectively. In the SDS-PAGE pattern of protein, C. junos Sieb. showed bands of 29.0 and 40kDa at 10 weeks. The 45,66 and 97.4 kDa bands at 10 weeks of culture were shown in P. trifoliata Rafin. 4. The highest esterase activity was shown at the 6 and 8 weeks of culture in C.junos Sieb. and P. trifoliata Rafin.., respectively. 5. Esterase isozyme patterns were shown difference according to the developmental stage. In C. junos Sieb. a new band was observed at pl 7.7 following 4 weeks culture. On the other hand, new bands in P. trifoliata Rafin. were observed at pl 7.5~6.5 following 4 and 6 weeks culture, respectively.

본 연구에서는 탱자의 미성숙배로부터 캘러스 유도와 재분화에 관하여 연구하였다. 탱자 배발생 캘러스들은 3% sucrose와 44.4 μm BA로 처리된 ½MS배지에서 광조사(2,000 1x, 16h)시에 미성숙종자의 배로부터 유도되었으며 식물체 재분화는 MS배지에 5.0 μm BA를 첨가하였을 때 가장 양호하였다. 탱자는 배양2~3주경에 담황색의 캘러스가 유도되었으며 배양5~6주경부터는 딱딱한 녹색의 캘러스로 변하였다. 기내 재분화는 3% sucrose와 5.0 μm BA가 첨가된 MS배지에서 배발생 캘러스로부터 직접 유도되었다. 또한 배양 12주 후에 Multishoot가 재분화되었으며, 배양 16주 후에 뿌리가 형성되었다. 또한 뿌리가 형성된 식물체들은 토양으로 옮겨져 완전한 식물체로 잘 자랐다. 광학 현미경 관찰시 탱자에서는 배양4주경에 하얀색의 조밀한 배양된 세포들이 나타났다. 배양6주경부터는 세포들이 신장되면서 배발생 돌기가 나타났으며 주변의 세포들은 액포화 되었다. 또한 배양12주경에는 미성숙 잎에서 발달된 유낭과 전형성층을 관찰하였다.
