Six groups of untransformed and hairy root cultures of <em>Catharunthus roseus</em> (L.) G. Don were established. <em>Agrobacterium rhizogenes</em> strains: ATCC 15834, LBA 9403, and TR 105 were used for infection of the 3-week old rooted plantlets of <em>C. roseus</em>. The highest contents of examined indole alkaloids were found in: roots of intact plants - yohimbine and serpentine; in hairy roots - catharanthine. Vinblastine and ajmalicine were detected in untransformed roots of plants regenerated in vitro, and transferred to the soil for 5 months.
