Hairy root cultures are being considered as promising system for producing valuable second metabolites. These genetically transformed root cultures are characterized by high growth rate, genetic stability and growth in hormone free media. Using A. rhizogenes-mediated transformation method (strain А-4), we have obtained hairy root cultures of the ecdysteroid-containing species of Silene linicola. HPLC analysis of the sample studied revealed that 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), turkesterone and polypodin B were synthesized under the specified experimental conditions. Application of methyl jasmonate at a concentration of 100 μM resulted in stimulation of 20E biosynthesis (up 74%) after 3 days of cultivation and turkesterone up to 35% at 6 days.  It was noted that total ecdysteroid content in sample tested varied: turkesterone from 25 to 60%, and 20E from 8 to 30%. At the same time the level of 20E biosynthesis decreased from 0.023 to 0.014% in the samples without methyl jasmonate treatment. Hairy root lines of S. linicola with different responses to the presence of elicitors in the culture medium can be used to study the pathways of ecdysteroid biosynthesis.

Agrobacterium rhizogenes induces hairy root disease in plants. The neoplastic (cancerous) roots produced by A. rhizogenes infection, when cultured in hormone free medium, show high growth rate and genetic stability. These genetically transformed root cultures can produce levels of secondary metabolites comparable to that of intact plants. Several elicitation methods can be used to further enhance the production and accumulation of secondary metabolites. Thus, hairy root culture offer promise for high production and productivity of valuable secondary metabolites in many plants. Hairy roots can also produce recombinant proteins from transgenic roots, and thereby hold immense potential for pharmaceutical industry. Hairy root cultures can be used to elucidate the intermediates and key enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and for phytoremediation due to their abundant neoplastic root proliferation property. Various applications of hairy root cultures and potential problems associated with them are discussed in this chapter.

Valtrate is a pharmacologically active epoxyiridoid ester found in the roots and rhizomes of Valeriana jatamansi Jones. The plant produces only small amounts of this metabolite naturally, and so induction of hairy roots as well as elicitation can be useful to increase its commercial production. In this study, strain R1601 of Agrobacterium rhizogenes was used to induce hairy roots in V. jatamansi, and stable hairy root cultures of V. jatamansi were established successfully. The influence of three exogenous elicitors including methyl jasmonate (MJ), jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) on valtrate production in the hairy root cultures of V. jatamansi was also investigated, and the 25-day-old hairy root cultures were treated with different concentrations of the elicitors at exposure time of 7 days. This present study showed that MJ (100 mg/L) highly promoted valtrate production at 7 days after elicitation, to a level of 3.63 times higher than that of non-elicited control. SA did not significantly increase the production of valtrate. This is the first-time study to assess the elicitation of hairy root cultures to promote valtrate biosynthesis in V. jatamansi and the resulting experiments demonstrated that MJ was indeed a potent inducer of valtrate biosynthesis.

AbstractIn this study, the effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on the phytomass and triterpenoid production of diploid and tetraploid Centella asiatica hairy roots were investigated. Hairy root cultures were obtained from diploid and induced tetraploid plants of C. asiatica infected by Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain ATCC 43057. MeJA triggered triterpenoid production in both ploidy hairy roots, whereas triterpenoids were not produced in the untreated hairy roots. Among the treatments, the 50 µM MeJA treatment yielded the maximum triterpenoid production in diploid hairy roots of 27.25 ± 0.27 µg/mg Dry weight (DW) total triterpenoid at day 21. For the tetraploid hairy root cultures, the 28th-day hairy root culture produced a maximum amount of triterpenoids of 16.29 ± 6.32 µg/mg DW in response to the 50 µM MeJA treatment, whereas the 100 µM MeJA treatment produced a similar triterpenoid amount (16.31 ± 9.24 µg/mg DW) at day 14. Moreover, in response to 50 µM MeJA, we obtained different ratios of aglycone to glycoside, i.e., 1:7 and 1:2, between the diploid and tetraploid hairy root cultures. Asiaticoside was the dominant phytochemical, followed by asiatic acid and madecassic acid. This study provides valuable information for producing triterpenoids for C. asiatica commercial products and preparations by using hairy root cultures.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of elicitors and precursors on the production of forskolin from the hairy root cultures of Coleus forskohlii Briq. Hairy root cultures were established from leaf explants by infecting with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4 on MS basal medium. Suspension cultures of hairy root cultures were initiated in MS medium containing IBA (1.0 mg/L), casein hydrolysate (600 mg/L). We investigated the growth of biomass and forskolin production in suspension cultures of hairy roots. The production of forskolin was parallel to the growth of biomass. The maximum production of forskolin was observed after 5 weeks. With the objective to increase the yield of forskolin, abiotic elicitors such as salicylic acid (100 μM and 500 μM), copper sulphate (100 μM and 500 μM), methyl jasmonate (100 μM and 500 μM) and precursors such as α-ketoglutaric acid (0.2 mM and 1.0 mM), L-phenylalanine (0.2 mM and 1.0 mM) were added to hairy root cultures on different days of incubation period and evaluated their effects on production of forskolin. Elicitor, methyl jasmonate (500 μM) and the precursor, L-phenylalanine (1 mM) on day-14 addition significantly enhanced the production of forskolin over the control hairy root cultures C. forskohlii. Given forskolin’s limited commercial supply, this study provides avenues for improving the production of forskolin in the hairy root culture of C. forskohlii.
