Abstract: | The morphogenesis ability of light yellowish globular callus derived from cotyledons of mature zygotic embryos of Panax ginseng was investigated. The optimal media for somatic embryogenesis and shoot organogenesis were MS medium containing 0.5 mg l–1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 0.1 mg l–1 6-benzyladenine (BA), and 500 mg l–1 lactoalbumin hydrolysate, and SH medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l–1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid, 0.1 mg l–1 BA, and 500 mg l–1casein hydrolysate. The influences of glucose, mannose, fructose, and sorbose in the media on somatic embryogenesis and shoot
organogenesis were revealed as differences in the numbers of somatic embryos and adventitious shoots per gram of morphogenic
callus. The best regeneration of somatic embryos was obtained on medium containing glucose, with a mean of 8.7 somatic embryos
per gram of callus. The best regeneration of shoots was observed on medium containing fructose, with an average of 12.2 adventitious
shoots per gram of callus. Of the somatic embryos 95% were converted into regenerated plantlets, and 100% of adventitious
shoots rooted to form regenerated plantlets. Regenerated plants were successfully established in soil. Flowering was observed
in 5.7% of the regenerated plants derived from shoot organogenesis and in 1.4% of the regenerated plants derived from somatic
embryogenesis.
