Abstract The process of callus induction, organogenesis and plantlets regeneration of Camptotheca acuminata Decne is reported. The highest growth rate of callus was observed on MS medium with 1 mg l−1 NAA, 1 mg l−1 kinetin and 60 g l−1 sucrose. All tissues and organs developed in vitro contain camptothecin and 10-hydroxycamptothecin. The presence of 10-hydroxycamptothecin in shoots and callus of Camptotheca acuminata Decne is reported for the first time. The alkaloids were detected and identified using HPLC methods.
