Abstract: Present experiments were carried out to examine the effect of plant growth regulators on plantlet and bulblet formation from immature embryo of Lycoris koreana cultured on Murashinge and Tucker(MT) medium added with various concentrations of auxin and cytokinin. Callus induction from immature embryo was effective on MT medium added with NAA 0.01㎎/l. Especially, plantlet formation induced from callus was abnormal. Plantlet and bulblet formation was most effective on 1/2 MT medium added with BAP 1.0㎎/l and IBA 0.5㎎/l. Optimum pH for plantlet and bulblet formation was 5.2 on 1/2 MT medium added with BAP 1.0㎎/l and IBA 0.5㎎/l. Optimum concentration of sucrose supplemented to 1/2 MT medium containing BAP 1.0㎎/l and IBA 0.5㎎/l at pH 5.2 for plantlet bulblet formation was 20g/l.
