We have investigated several factors influencing adventitious shoot induction from the Populus deltodies bartr. leaf segments. To obtain in vitro materials, at first, stem segments from ex vivro were tested for axillary bud breaking on the five macronutrients levels of two differenr media. WPM was better both in bud breaking and leaf expansion than MS medium. The amount of NH$_{4}$NO$_{3}$ added in the medium did not seem to affect axillary bud breaking, significantly and subsequent shoot elongation from the stem segments of P. deltodies. However, other components in WPM might have played important roles in axillary bud breaking and shoot elongation. Regenerability from three sections (the distal, the middle and the base) of leaves cultured on WPM supplemented with TDZ and NAA combinations appeared to be different; middle and basal sections of leaves produced more organogenic sites than those of top section on WPM and those sesctions produced the highest ogranogenic sites on the same medium supplemented with 0.01 mg/l TDZ and 0.02mg.l NAA. Among 3 carbon sources tested for adventitious shoot elongation, fructose seemed to be stimulating the elongation of adventitious shoots. Sucrose and glucose added in the medium resulted in the necrosis which caused dying of adventitious shoots, eventually.
