A highly efficientin vitro regeneration methodology for mature chutese tallow tree (Sapium sebiferum Roxb.) has been developed. Shoot segments cultured on MS medium supplemented with 7.5 µM NAA produced light green callus. Optimum shoot differentiation resulted when callus was transferred to MS medium with 1 µM BA and 0.25 µM NAA. Shoot forming ability of callus was higher on MS medium compared to B5, half-MS or WPM. A continuous shoot harvest system at four-week intervals was established. Shoot yield continued for six months without loss of vigour. Regenerated shoots were rooted by culturing on half strength agar-gelled MS medium containing 1 µM IBA. Rooted plantlets were transferred to 1:1 soil vermiculite mixture and acclimatized with 67 % survival rate. Fully acclimatized plants were planted in the field, and performance is being evaluated.
