Mesostructure of the photosynthetic apparatus was investigated in the wild plants of ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Mey, Araliaceae) taken from various habitats. The revealed features of the structure of phototrophic tissues (large cells, small number of photosynthesizing cells and chloroplasts per leaf area unit, low values of membrane indices of the cells and chloroplasts) point to stress-tolerant type of ecological strategy ginseng pursues in Nature.
