Culture conditions for plant regeneration of Camellia japonica were achieved by organogenesis in explants of cotyledon. Seed cotyledons were cultured on MS medium containing various auxin, 2,4-D or NAA and cytokinins BA. The adventitious shoot buds were efficiently formed without embryogenesis on the basal region of cotyledon cultured on MS medium supplemented with $0.1\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ 2.4-D and $1\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ BA. Seed cotyledons could be used as a source of explants in experiments of genetic transformation of the genotypes evaluated for improving the efficiency of production of transgenic Camellia plants.
