Hairy roots, transformed with Agrobacterium rhizogenes, have been found to be suitable for
the production of secondary metabolites because of their stable and high productivity in …

Progress towards the commercial-scale use of plant cell cultures over the past three years
has been significant. Elicitation, particularly with methyl jasmonate, has been effective at …

Hairy root cultures of Brugmansia candida produce the tropane alkaloids scopolamine and
hyoscyamine. In an attempt to increase productivity, several biotic and abiotic elicitors were …

Late exponential phase hairy root cultures of Catharanthus roseus were elicited with
pectinase and jasmonic acid. The effects of elicitor concentration and exposure time on …

An efficient protocol for the establishment of transgenic opium poppy (Papaver somniferum
L.) and California poppy (Eschscholzia californica Cham.) root cultures using Agrobacterium …

Two direct HPLC analytical methods for the screening of the major indole alkaloids of
Catharanthus roseus hairy roots and their iridoid precursors have been developed …

Publisher Summary This chapter studies the biosynthesis of the terpenoid indole alkaloids in
C. roseus. On the level of the enzymes, certain steps have now been well characterized, but …

We tested the effect of the presence in the culture medium of chitosan, vanadyl sulfate or
methyl jasmonate on growth and ginsenoside production of three stable hairy root lines of …

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 …

Gene expression in response to signaling molecules has been well studied in the leaves of
the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. However, knowledge of gene expression and …
