Hairy root type plant in vitro systems as sources of bioactive substances

Abstract: "Hairy root" systems, obtained by transforming plant tissues with the "natural genetic engineer" Agrobacterium rhizogenes, have been known for more than three decades. To date, hairy root cultures have been obtained from more than 100 plant species, including several endangered medicinal plants, affording opportunities to produce important phytochemicals and proteins in eco-friendly conditions. Diverse strategies can be applied to improve the yields of desired metabolites and to produce recombinant proteins. F… Show more

“…Genetically transformed roots (so called hairy roots) mediated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes creates a rapid and simple tool to integrate and express foreign genes in plant cells (Georgiev et al 2007;Sharafi et al 2013aSharafi et al , 2014aHuet et al 2014). The molecular basis of hairy root induction is a transfer DNA (T-DNA) from root inducing (Ri) plasmid of A. rhizogenes.…”

“…Hairy roots offer opportunities for stable (compared to undifferentiated cultures) and wide-range production of plant secondary metabolites (Giri and Narasu 2000;Hu and Du 2006;Georgiev et al 2007). They also present a potential for the production of valuable secondary metabolites by obtaining high-yield lines developed via optimization of the inoculums conditions and nutrient medium compounds, elicitation, permeabilization and cultivation of hairy roots in two phase systems, large scale cultivation in bioreactor systems, and using genetic engineering technology (Georgiev et al 2007).…”

“…Hundreds of species have been transformed with A. rhizogenes with the aim of achieving transformed root induction. The prospects for the production of medicinal compounds in transformed roots were previously reviewed (Georgiev et al 2007;Guillon et al 2006;Uozumi 2004). Several Boraginaceous species have been also transformed with A. rhizogenes for the production of shikonin derivatives.…”
