Abstract
The differentiation and developmental process of axillary buds in the tea plants were investigated on summer.The axillary buds of summer shoots contained four immature leaves (including leaf primodia) at different developmental stages. As soon as summer shoots were pruned, the new leaf primodias differentiated in remained axillary buds. These axillary buds flushed about 20 days after prunning. The primodia of new axillary bud emerged at the axil of the immature leaves.The relations between the developmental ability of new shoots and the growing positions of axillary buds were investigated. It may be concluded that the immature leaves in axillary buds lose viability, if they rested for a long period.
