Transformation of Impatiens hawkerii Bull. mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4M70GUS was studied. Hairy roots developed 10 days after inoculation were excised from the shoot explants and transferred onto Murashige and Skoog's (MS) basal medium lacking plant growth regulators. More than 20 hairy root clones were established and eight of them were further analyzed. Each clone differed significantly from the others in growth capacity and lateral branching. Clone C2 showed the highest biomass (20.6 g L-1) as well as the highest number of lateral roots (37 ? 2.2). The transgenic nature of the established hairy root clones was confirmed by GUS assay and PCR analysis. In conclusion, hairy roots were developed for the first time in I. hawkerii Bull., and transgenic hairy root clones showed a distinct morphological nature and growth patterns.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of three strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes (ATCC 15834, A4 and LBA 9402) and the nature of explants (leaf and stem) on hairy root induction, growth and plumbagin production in Plumbago indica. The first appearance of hairy roots, the transformation frequency, dry root biomass and plumbagin accumulation were found to be maximum in hairy roots induced in leaf explants infected with A. rhizogenes ATCC 15834 as compared with the other two bacterial strains. The hairy roots generated from stem explants infected with all three strains were not found to be productive in terms of the selected parameters. Finally, the insertion of the rolB gene of A. rhizogenes ATCC 15834 in hairy roots of P. indica derived from leaf explants was confirmed by PCR analysis.

AbstractHairy root culture system is a valuable tool to study the characteristics of gene expression, gene function, root biology, biochemical properties and biosynthesis pathways of secondary metabolites. In the present study, hairy roots were established in Anise hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) via Agrobacterium rhizogenes. Three strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes (A4, A7 and 9435), were used for induction of hairy roots in four various explants (hypocotyl, cotyledon, one-month-old leaf and five-month-old leaf) of Anise hyssop. The highest frequency of transformation was achieved using A4 strain in one-month-old leaves (51.1%). The transgenic states of hairy root lines were confirmed by PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) method. High performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed that the production of rosmarinic acid (RA) in transformed roots of A. foeniculum was almost 4-fold higher than that of the non-transformed roots. In a separate experiment, hairy roots obtained from one-month-old leaves inoculated with A4 strain, were grown in liquid medium and the effects of different concentrations of salicylic acid (0.0, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 mM) and chitosan (0, 50, 100 and 150 mg L−1) (as elicitor) and sucrose (20, 30, 40 and 50 g L−1) on the growth of hairy roots were evaluated. The results showed that, 30 g L−1 sucrose and 100 mg L−1 chitosan increased the biomass of hairy root cultures and application of salicylic acid reduced the growth of hairy roots compared with control roots.

Background: Hairy root culture has been widely used in the production of metabolites in dicotyledons, and a large number of food crops and medicinal plants in monocotyledons need to be developed, but there are many difficulties in the induction of hairy roots in monocotyledons. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the inducing methods, influencing factors and application of hairy roots in monocotyledons, and to promote the development of hairy root system in monocotyledons. Methods: The mechanism of action of Agrobacterium rhizogenes and the current situation of hairy root induction, induction methods and influencing factors of monocotyledons were summarized so as to provide convenience for efficient acquisition of hairy root of monocotyledons. Results: Monocotyledons are not easy to produce phenols, cells are prone to lignification, adverse differentiation and selective response to Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains. It is proposed that before induction, plant varieties and explants should be selected, and different infection strains should be screened. In the process of hairy root induction, exogenous inducers such as acetosyringone can be added. Although these factors can provide some help for the induction of hairy roots in monocotyledons, we still need to pay attention to the disadvantages of monocotyledons from dicotyledons at the cellular level. Conclusion: A large number of food crops and medicinal plants are monocotyledons. Hairy root culture can be used to help the breeding and production of medicinal substances. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of varieties and explants, the selection of Agrobacterium rhizogenes and the addition of acetosyringone in the process of hairy root induction so as to improve the production efficiency and facilitate the development and utilization of monocotyledons.

AbstractThe induction of hairy roots in Arnica montana L. by Agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated system was established. The frequency of genetic transformation varied from 4.8 to 12% depended on method of infection. The cefotaxime at concentration of 200 mg/l proved to suppress effectively the growth of A. rhizogenes after co-cultivation. Among the three tested nutrient media: Murashige and Skoog (MS), Gamborg’s (B5) and Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH), MS medium was superior for growth and high biomass production of transformed roots compared to other culture media. After culturing for 40 days the fresh weight of clone T4 increased 7.6 fold over the non-transformed roots. The transfer of rol A, rol B and rol C genes into Arnica genome was confirmed by PCR analysis. Established genetic transformation techniques in A. montana efficiently provided and generated a large number of transformed roots — an excellent system for studying gene function and could be used for the production of secondary metabolites synthesized in roots.

One of the most effective methods for type 2 diabetes treatments is inhibition of enzyme α-glucosidase in the intestines to slow down the release of glucose from carbohydrates in the diet, reduce plasma glucose levels and prevent hyperglycemia after meals. Therefore, seeking α-glucosidase inhibitors used in the treatment of diabetes from plant is the attention of many scientists. Based on the potential of the hairy root culture technology in increasing valuable chemical compounds accumulating, this study aimed to induce hairy roots from six plants of the Malvaceae family including Urena lobata, Abutilon indicum, Hibiscus Sabdariffa, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Sida acuta, Sida rhombifolia, and screening which materials has the highest in α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. We have successfully induced hairy roots from six plant species by using the Agrobacterium rhizogenes ATCC 15834 strain. The highest rates of hairy root induction were observed in Hibiscus Sabdariffa and Urena lobata. The stable introduction of rolB and rolC genes to plant genomes was confirmed by PCR. Under liquid-shake culture conditions on MS medium, hairy roots of Hibiscus sabdariffa, Urena lobata and Sida acuta showed better development than other species, and therefore, they are selected for the study of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. This study proved that Urena lobata was stronger in inhibiting α-glucosidase activity than other studied plants, with the IC50 value of 7.65 μg/ml. The results of this study demonstrated Urena lobata hairy root might be considered as a potential supply of medicinal plants for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Impatiens walleriana L. shoots were inoculated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4M70GUS and the effects of genetic transformation on the catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POX) activities in wounded region of stems and unwounded leaves were evaluated 10, 24, 240 and 720 hours after inoculation. Following Agrobacterum infection activities of plant antioxidative enzymes changed in a time-dependent manner indicating that dynamic processes occurred during plant-Agrobacterium interaction, plant cell transformation and formation of hairy roots. Appearance of hairy roots on wound sites of shoots was observed ten days after inoculation with A. rhizogenes and the root induction frequency was 100%. Among selected hairy root lines significant differences in growth rate and biomass production were observed and an average 3-fold increase in biomass production was observed for the best growing hairy root line compared with the untransformed roots. PCR analysis showed presence of uidA, rolB, rolC and rolD genes in all analyzed I. walleriana L. hairy root lines, while amplification fragment of rolA gene was detected in 83.3% transformed lines. Efficient transformation protocol for I. walleriana L described in this work offer possibilities to generate hairy root cultures for in vitro propagation of plant viruses.

White mulberry (Morus alba L.) root was reported to contain potential tyrosinase inhibitors such as norartocarpetin, streppogenin, oxyresveratrol (5, 7, 2′, 4′-tetrahydroxy-flavavone) and 2-arylbenzofuran. This study aims at investigating Morus alba L. hairy root culture to create a source of tyrosinase inhibitors for skin-whitening application. Morus alba L. leaf (including mesophyll and petiole) and stem explants were randomly wounded and inoculated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes ATCC 15834 in 10-40 minutes, and coculturing for 4 days. After inoculation, Agrobacterium rhizogenes were removed by using MS medium adding 200mg/L cefotaxime as antibiotics. Then, fresh inducted hairy roots were grown in nonphytohormone liquid medium (MS, White, Gamborg B5 or WPM) on a shaker (80rpm) at 25 ±1°C. Inducted hairy roots were tested for the present of rolB by PCR analysis and its effect on tyrosinase activity using a 96-well plate reader. The suitable explants for hairy root induction are leaves, especially petioles in 10 minutes (root induction frequency: 83%). After induction, hairy roots on MS was grown more efficiently (increased 3.933 times in FW) than on WPM, B5 and White medium. Inducted hairy roots were successfully transgenes by the present of rolB in their genome and had the same anti-tyrosinase activity as the natural roots without significance differences (IC50: 3.860 and 3.597 μg/mL, respectively). Cultured Morus alba L. hairy roots are potential source of tyrosinase inhibitors for future skin-whitening ingredient.

Three Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains were tested for their ability to transform the plant Morus alba L. and to induce production of the secondary metabolites betulin and betulinic acid. All the tested strains of A. rhizogenes (R1601, LBA9402 and R1000) were able to induce hairy root formation in leaf tissue explants. Strain LBA9402 had the highest rate of infection (92.7% ± 8.8%), whereas strain R1601 had the lowest rate (87.4% ± 9.3%). The highest number of hairy roots per explant (5.6 ± 0.5) and the greatest root length (2.4 ± 0.2 mm) were obtained with strain LBA9402. We also evaluated dry weight (a measure of growth) and betulin and betulinic acid production in hairy roots and found that the highest growth (167.8 ± 14.5 mg/flask) occurred after infection with strain LBA9402. Furthermore the highest production of betulin (5.4 ± 0.4 mg/g dry weight) and betulinic acid (2.3 ± 0.2 mg/g dry weight) was noted using strain LBA9402. Among three elicitors, yeast extract showed the highest induction of betulin production (8.7 ± 0.4 mg/g) and silver nitrate induced the highest yield of betulinic acid (4.1 ± 0.2 mg/g). Our study showed that A. rhizogenes strain LBA9402 was the most effective of the three tested strains for production of transformed root cultures and betulin and betulinic acid.

Abstract Background CRIPSR/Cas9 gene editing has the ability to effectively modify plant genomes. Multiple target sites usually were designed and the effective target sites were selected for editing. However, upland cotton is allotetraploid and is commonly considered as difficult and inefficient to transform. Therefore, it’s important to quickly identify feasibility of the target site. In this study, we use Agrobacterium rhizogenes K599 strain to infect cotton shoot meristem and induce them to grow hairy roots to detect the feasibility of a selected target designed in GhMYB25-like gene. Results We designed a sgRNA within the second exons of GhMYB25-likeA and GhMYB25-likeD and constructed the CRISPR vector. Transient hairy root transformation using A. rhizogenes K599 with four OD600s (0.4, 0.6,0.8, 1.0) was performed in Coker 312 (R15). The results show that A. rhizogenes at OD600 = 0.6–0.8 is the best concentration range for inducing cotton hairy roots. The other three cultivars (TM-1, Lumian 21, Zhongmian 49) were injected using A. rhizogenes K599 with OD600 = 0.6-0.8 and all produced hairy roots. We characterized ten R15 plants with hairy roots and detected different degrees of base deletions and insert at the target site in five R15 plants. Conclusion Overall, our data show A. rhizogenes-mediated transient hairy root transformation offers a rapid and efficient method to detect sgRNA feasibility in cotton.

Summary Problems encountered in hairy root culture  of  C. ledgeriana and C. succirubra are low percentage of transformation of explants by Agrobacterium rhizogenes and slow growth of hairy root. The objective of this research was to evaluate the potential of several A. rhizogenes strains for initiation  hairy roots of  C. succirubra and C. ledgeriana, and to obtain the best medium for hairy root culture of Cinchona spesies. Axenic shoot and leaves explants of eight-month-old of C. ledgeriana and  C. succirubra seedlings were inoculated with A. rhizogenes strain ATCC-15834, ATCC-8196,    R-20001, 07-20001, A4, R-MAFFA, TISTR509, TISTR510 and LBA9457. Inoculated explants were cultured in solid MS medium with the addition of 100 mg/L amphicylin. Subculture of the hairy root was performed by transferred of root pieces into fresh liquid basal medium MS, B5, White and Heller. Hairy roots from the best of basal medium were subcultured on the same medium with the addition of 50  and 100 mg/L   L-tryptophane, three or five times concentration of MS vitamins. The integration of T-DNA of   A. rhizogenes in hairy root was confirmed with specific primer for TL and TR-DNA of plasmid by Polymerase Chain Reaction analysis. The results showed that only A. rhizogenes strain  LBA 9457 were effective for  transformation of explants from both Cinchona species. The fastest hairy roots growth were found  in MS medium, while growth in others medium was poor. Hairy roots of  C. ledgeriana has vigor and growth better than hairy roots of C. succirubra. MS with the addition of 50 mg/L  L-tryptophane and  three times the concen-trations of vitamin  is the best medium for hairy root growth and vigor. Hairy roots of  C. succirubra and C. ledgeriana used in this studies were confirmed that hairy roots  contained TL and TR-DNA region of Ri plasmid with molecular weight 780 and 1600 bp.  The results showed that strain of A. rhizogenes, plant species, source of explant and composition of medium affect the initiation, growth, development  and vigor of hairy roots.Ringkasan Masalah dalam kultur akar rambut  C. ledgeriana dan C. succirubra adalah rendahnya tingkat keberhasilan transformasi eksplan dengan Agrobacterium rhizogenesdan pertumbuhannya yang lambat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi  potensi dari beberapa galur A. Rhizogenes untuk inisiasi, mendapatkan komposisi medium terbaik untuk pertumbuhan akar rambut C. ledgeriana dan C. succirubra, serta konfirmasi terintegrasinya TR dan TL-DNA Ri plasmid ke dalam jaringan eksplan.  Eksplan batang  dan  daun  berasal  dari kecambah aksenik C. ledgeriana dan C. succirubra berumur delapan bulan diinokulasi dengan A. rhizogenes galur 15834, 8196, R-20001, 07-20001, A4, R.MAFFA,TISTR 509, TISTR 510 dan LBA 9457. Eksplan yang sudah diinokulasi dikulturkan dalam medium MS padat. Subkultur dilakukan dengan cara mentransfer potongan ujung akar rambut ke dalam medium cair MS, B5, White dan Heller. Akar rambut dari medium kultur yang terbaik kemudian disubkultur ke dalam medium yang sama dengan penambahan 50 dan 100 mg/L L-triptofan dengan konsentrasi vitamin sebanyak tiga kali dan lima kali dari konsentrasi normal MS. Integrasi T-DNA dalam akar rambut dikonfirmasi meng-gunakan Polymerase Chain Reaction  dengan primer spesifik untuk TL dan TR-DNA plasmid. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa hanya A.rhizogenes galur LB9457 yang efektif menginfeksi eksplan baik batang maupun daun dari kedua spesies kina. Induksi, pertumbuhan dan vigor akar rambut yang terbaik diperoleh dari medium MS dengan penambahan 50 mg/L L-triptofan dan tiga kali konsentrasi vitamin. Hasil konfirmasi akar rambut baik dari batang maupun daun menggunakan PCR, menunjukkan bahwa TL dan TR-DNA dari Ri plasmid  A. rhizogenes mampu menghasilkan pita-pita DNA dengan BM780 dan 1600 pb. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa galur  A. rhizogenes, spesies tanaman, sumber eksplan dan komposisi medium berpengaruh terhadap inisiasi, pertumbuhan,  perkembangan dan vigor akar rambut.
