We report a procedure for direct shoot regeneration via leaf segments of Lilium Oriental hybrid ‘Casa Blanca’. The segments were cultured with the abaxial side in contact with a Murashige and Skoog medium containing 0.1 mg • L-1 BA and 0.1 mg • L-1 NAA, 3% sucrose, and 0.8% agar for shoot regeneration. The cultures were incubated for 4 weeks under a 16 hrs photoperiod at 23 ± 2oC for adventitious shoot regeneration. With this procedure, a mean shoot regeneration frequency of 88-90% and a mean number of shoots of 2.5-3.6 per segment were obtained. Ploidy analysis of the regenerated plants using flow cytometer revealed the same ploidy level (diploid) with mother plant. This study will be used for large-scale multiplication and genetic transformation system in lily.

26 wild accessions and 2 cultivars of whip grass (Hemarthria compress a (L. f.) R. Br.), which collected in the fields of Sichuan Agricultural University (SAU), were used to study on their ploidy level and reproductive characteristics. The results showed that there were 4 tetraploids (14.3%), H028, H029, H052, H053, chromosome numbers were 2n=4x=36, and 24 hexaploids (85.7%), 2n=6x=54. There was no significant correlation between geographical distribution and ploidy level in this research. From 2006 to 2008, hexaploids set few seeds, but all of the tetraploids set some seeds more or less. H052 had the highest seed set (11.22%). The tetraploids had potential for seed production, especially H052, it should be possible to obtain hybrids by cross-pollination in the future.

벼 약배양을 통하여 분화된 식물체의 배수성분포와 반수체식물의 효과적인 염색체배가시험을 실시하여 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 15조합의 F1 을 재료로 하여 약배양한 결과 얻어진 574 식물체의 배수성분포는 반수체가 49.7%, 2배체는 48.6%, 다배체는 1.7%로 나타났다. 2. 통일형조합(Japonica/Indica)에서는 반수체(60.6%)가 많은 경향이었고, 일본형조합(Japonica/Japonica)에서는 2배체(54.8%)가 많은 경향이었다. 3. 2,4 -D, NAA가 첨가된 배지에서는 반수체가, Kinetin이 첨가된 배지에서는 2배체가 많은 경향이었다. 4. 반수체의 분얼경 분주에 의한 염색체자연배가율은 개체에 따라 0~25%로 나타났고 평균 8.2%였다. 5. Colchicine 0.1% 용액의 잎집주사접종법에 의한 염색체배가율은 0~33.3%의 변이를 보였으며 평균 18.8%로 나타났다. 6. 약배양에서 유래된 식물체의 배수성에 따른 형태적인 차이는 반수체가 2배체에 비하여 간장이 64.6%, 수장이 63.4%, 지엽장은 68%, 지엽폭은74.4%로 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내었다.
