Hairy root cultures were established by transforming seedlings of Taxus cuspidate Sieb. Et
Zucc (Korean yew) using Agrobacterium rhizogenes. Initially, 107 lines of hairy roots were …

Hairy root cultures of Taxus× media var. Hicksii were established by infection of the plantlets
with the Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain LBA 9402. The paclitaxel accumulation in hairy …

Paclitaxel (Taxol®) is a potent anticancer agent, but the widespread pharmaceutical use of
paclitaxel is hampered by its limited availability due to low accumulation levels in the native …

A high taxol yield cell line of Taxus yunnanensis Cheng et LK Fu keeps a high taxol-
producing level after successive subcultures for more than eight years. In this study, eight …

Dibutyl phthalate, oleic acid and terpineol were used to extract paclitaxel in situ from Taxus
chinensis suspension cultures. Oleic acid/terpineol (1: 1, v/v) added to the cultures gave a …

This study assessed the effect of two precursors (l-phenylalanine and p-amino benzoic acid)
used alone or in combination with methyl jasmonate, on the growth and accumulation of …

Viable protoplasts of Taxus yunnanensis were isolated from friable, light yellow callus.
Protoplast yield was dependent on callus age, with a maximum from 20-day-old callus …

Taxus chinensis suspension cells were cultured in the modified Gamborg's B5 medium.
Addition of 50 mg chitosan l− 1, 60 μM methyl jasmonate and 30 μM Ag+ resulted in the …

An endophytic fungus, Aspergillus niger, isolated from the inner bark of a Taxus chinensis
tree, was used as an elicitor to stimulate the Taxol (paclitaxel) production in a Taxus …

The co-culture of the suspension cells of Taxus chinensis var. mairei and its endophytic
fungi, Fusarium mairei, in a 20-L co-bioreactor was successfully established for paclitaxel …
