Abstract: The explants taken from young stems of Tax us yunnanensis produced calli on 6,7-V medium supplimented with 2,4-D, NAA and KT. The calli in this medium could differentiate buds. When young stems were transferred onto White medium containing IBA or IBA and 6-BA, they differentiated roots and formed regenerative plants. Those plants which were transplanted were easy to survive. This study provides a method of rapid propagation for Taxus yunnanensis.

Key words: Taxus yunnanensis
