Leucojum aestivum is a native, protected ornamental and medicinal plant in Hungary and in Ukraine too. The aim of our work was to establish in vitro cultures of this bulbous plant. Prior to surface sterilisation the old leaves and roots were dissected from the bulbs and they were stored in a refrigerator (2-3°C) for different periods (1 week for the first starting experiment and 5 weeks for the second one). After sterilisation, bulbs, bulb scales and leaves of the bulbs were placed on Murashige and Skoog's (1962) medium with 1 mg/1 benzyl-adenine (BA) and 0,1 mg/1 naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). At the first starting experiment 81,3%, and at the second one 92,3% of the explants turned to be sterile. Bulblets and roots were developed on the explants in the case of using bulb plates together with bulb scales and leaves as inoculua. The best result was achieved after 5 weeks chilling and it was possible to gain little bulbs from the bulb leaves too.

Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis (Park.) Fosberg) is a woody tropical tree. In addition to the nutritious value, breadfruit is also a precious medicinal source, because every part of it contains many natural compounds with biological activity. With the aim of providing a pharmaceutical source cond food with high yield, as well as the short harvert time, we examined the effects of the concentration of benzyl adenine (BA) on the in vitro culture of young female breadfruit flowers. The results showed that in the first phase of the culture, the concentration of 5 mg/L BA stimulated an increase in size of each female flowers, especially in the calyx. The increasing concentration of 10 mg/L BA stimulated the formation of callus in the calyx of each female flowers. Roles of respiration rate and endogenus hormones were discussed to understand the physiological changes in the in vitro culture of young female breadfruit flowers.
