Sapium sebiferum Roxb ., a monoecious deciduous tree of the Euphorbiaceae family, is an economically important multipurpose
woody plant species in tropical and subtropical region, considering the huge potential of this species for ornamental, biomass and
biodiesel producing. It is essential for S. sebiferum to establish high efficient plant tissue culture procedures which can be used for large
scale propagation and genetic improvement. We have established high efficient plant regeneration systems through different pathways
by using different parts of S. sebiferum as explants. And based on those plant regeneration systems, we have established a high
efficient genetic transformation system. Our results provide critical information for the propagation and the genetic improvement of
S. sebiferum.
