The embryogenic cell culture 2c3 was previously obtained by the transfer of the rolC gene from Agrobacterium rhizogenes into ginseng callus cells. It was found by us that the expression of SERK and WUS genes in the embryogenic culture 2c3 is increased. These genes are known to be responsible for the initial stimulus to the development of embryogenesis in plants. Taking into consideration earlier data, we suppose that the development of somatic embryos in the ginseng cell culture 2c3 is associated with changes in the work of the calcium signaling system and with the activation of expression of SERK and WUS genes.
