Abstract: Owing to the generative propagation over a long period of time many lines of Camellia oleifera have varied and degenerated, which is the major factor resulting in low yield of Camellia production. For keeping the excellent properties of fine varieties it is of great importance to develop tissue culture and rapid propagation, using the organs, tissue and cells of elite trees. Since 1979 germination of embroids and pseudo-bulbils has been studied, and rapid propagation of axillary shoots tested, as a result, a number of plantlets from tissue culture of elite trees has been obtained. In 1982 a transplant experiment was established, and the surrival of plantation with such plantlets observed. The indices show the same growth of tissue culture plantlets as that of seedlings, in some cases the former is even better.
