How Does a Single Somatic Cell Become a Whole Plant?
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/309/5731/86.short
But keep in mind we don't know yet (at least for me) how a somatic cell becomes competent; what sort of changes happens to be alike a zygotic cell. I suspect we still need a full molecular analysis from your both cells to see the "differences" between them. Conceptually, however, stem cells are stem cell by definition, no matter where they are located. I won't be surprised if differences would be found between them. But if they are relevant differences, it remains to be seem...
The take: making right questions is 50% to find right answers... You made a good one.
By definition, stem cells are stem cells, no matter where they are located: undifferentiated cells...
Of Interaction genetically and physiologically with auxin and cytokinins!
thanks for your attention Dr.Ramos
Just, Somatir system(use multicompound of Plant Growth Regulators in somatic embryogenesis medium) and effect on renew stem cells.

in addition, I'd like to raise the following points
Somatic competent cells (SCC; ~embryonic) are so "per se" or were they ready but need to be externally "induced" to like when plant hormones are employed?
Now, SAM (shoot apical meristem) cells. Remember they keep producing differentiated cells for new organs or tissues, while zygotic stem cells (ZSC) are of bipolar nature - producing roots and shoots, as SCC. Because the ZSC and SCC come from different kinds of tissues, it is reasonable to expect they are also different, molecularly speaking...
