“…Hairy roots are used to phytoremediate persistent organic pollutants (POPs) from the agriculture fields as they resemble the normal roots of the mother plants physiologically ( Majumder and Jha, 2012 ; Majumder et al., 2018 ; Nanasato and Tabei, 2018 ). Hairy roots of the plants in the Solanaceae family, have been used in phytoremediation due to their ability to accumulate and detoxify various pollutants.…”

Secondary metabolites synthesized by the Solanaceous plants are of major therapeutic and pharmaceutical importance, many of which are commonly obtained from the roots of these plants. ‘Hairy roots’, mirroring the same phytochemical pattern of the corresponding root of the parent plant with higher growth rate and productivity, are therefore extensively studied as an effective alternative for the in vitro production of these metabolites. Hairy roots are the transformed roots, generated from the infection site of the wounded plants with Agrobacterium rhizogenes. With their fast growth, being free from pathogen and herbicide contamination, genetic stability, and autotrophic nature for plant hormones, hairy roots are considered as useful bioproduction systems for specialized metabolites. Lately, several elicitation methods have been employed to enhance the accumulation of these compounds in the hairy root cultures for both small and large-scale production. Nevertheless, in the latter case, the cultivation of hairy roots in bioreactors should still be optimized. Hairy roots can also be utilized for metabolic engineering of the regulatory genes in the metabolic pathways leading to enhanced production of metabolites. The present study summarizes the updated and modern biotechnological aspects for enhanced production of secondary metabolites in the hairy root cultures of the plants of Solanaceae and their respective importance.

“…For 40 years since the publication of the first works, hairy roots have been used as producers of secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, anthocyanins [37,55], flavonoids, ginsenosides, stilbenes, lignans, terpenoids, and shikonin [56]; as well as recombinant proteins such as vaccine [57,58], monoclonal antibodies [59], and therapeutic proteins [60]. Studies on the possibility of using hairy roots in phytoremediation are being conducted [61,62]. However, to the greatest extent, the hairy roots are used as a source of pharmacologically valuable secondary metabolites.…”

Due to population growth, instability of climatic conditions, and reduction of the areas of natural ecosystems, it becomes necessary to involve modern biotechnological approaches to obtain highly productive plant material. This statement applies both to the creation of plant varieties and the production of new pharmaceutical raw materials. Genetic transformation of valuable medicinal plants using Agrobacterium rhizogenes ensures the production of stable and rapidly growing hairy roots cultures that have a number of advantages compared with cell culture and, above all, can synthesize root-specific substances at the level of the roots of the intact plant. In this regard, special attention should be paid to the collection of hairy roots of the Institute of Plant Physiology RAS, Russian Academy of Sciences, the founder of which was Dr. Kuzovkina I.N. Currently, the collection contains 38 hairy roots lines of valuable medicinal and forage plants. The review discusses the prospects of creating a hairy roots collection as a basis for fundamental research and commercial purposes.

“…Plant root structures have an impact in the treatment of wastewater. According to Majumder et al (2016), plants with hairy roots have a high potential to remove both organic and inorganic contaminants in the environment. P. purpureum has dense, fine, compacted, and full of root nodules.…”

Tannery wastewater is composed of a complex mixture of organic and inorganic components from various processes that can critically pollute the environment, especially water bodies if discharged without treatment. In this study, integrated vesicular basalt rock and local plant species were used to establish a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland system and to investigate the treatment efficiency of tannery wastewater. Four pilot units were vegetated with P. purpureum, T. domingensis, C. latifolius, and E. pyramidalis, and a fifth unit was left unvegetated (control). The constructed wetland units in horizontal subsurface flow systems were effective in removing total chromium (Cr), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and 5-day biological oxygen demand (BOD5) from the inflow tannery wastewater. The removal efficiency reached up to 99.38, 84.03, and 80.32% for total Cr, COD, and BOD5, respectively, in 6 days of hydraulic retention time (HRT). The removal efficiency of total suspended solid (TSS), total phosphorus (TP), and nitrate (NO3−) of the constructed wetland units reached a maximum of 70.59, 62.32, and 71.23%, respectively. This integrated system was effective for treating tannery wastewater, which is below the Ethiopian surface water standard discharge limit set to BOD5 (200 mg L−1), COD (500 mg L−1), total Cr (2 mg L−1), NO3− (20 mg L−1), TSS (50 mg L−1), and TP (10 mg L−1).
