  Author(s): Un Seop Shin, Romika Chandra and Ho Duck Kang*
  
  This study was conducted to establish in vitro and ex vitro propagation systems and to secure the genetic resource for ex-situ conservation of Astilboides tabularis (Hemsl.) Engl. as a rare and endangered species. Plant materials were collected and prepared for various treatments for in vitro propagation by plant tissue culture and ex vitro propagation by root cuttings. For callus induction, leaf explants cultured on MS medium with BA 0.1 mg L-1 showed the highest rate at 24%, whereas the petioles supplemented with BA 0.5 mg L-1 exhibited the highest rate at 14%. Root explants treated with BA alone did not induce callus formation whereas a combination of BA and NAA showed 100% callus induction at concentrations of BA 0.1 + NAA 0.1 mg L1 and BA 1.0 + NAA 1.0 mgL-1. Shoots were produced at 50% from leaf explants treated with BA 0.1 mg L-1 concen.. View More»
