Hairy roots, a plant disease caused by Agrobacterium rhizogenes, show distinctive features
such as high growth rate, unlimited branching, and biochemical and genetic stability. Hairy …

Hairy roots (HRs) are differentiated cultures of transformed roots generated by the infection
of wounded higher plants with Agrobacterium rhizogenes. This pathogen causes the HR …

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 …
