Transgenic Hairy Roots

Previous efforts to transform lentil have been considerably hampered by the crop’s recalcitrant nature, giving rise to particularly low transformation and regeneration frequencies. This study aimed at optimizing an Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation protocol for the generation of composite lentil plantlets, comprised of transgenic hairy roots and wild-type shoots. Transformation was performed by inoculating the cut hypocotyl of young lentil seedlings, while optimization involved the use of different bacterial strains, namely R1000, K599 and Arqua, and protocols differing in media composition with respect to the presence of acetosyringone and MES. Composite plantlets had a transgenic hairy root system characterized by an increased number of hairy roots at the hypocotyl proximal region, occasionally showing plagiotropic growth. Overall findings underline that transformation frequencies are subject to the bacterial strain, media composition as well as their combined effect. Among strains tested, R1000 proved to be the most capable of hairy root formation, while the presence of both acetosyringone and MES in inoculation and culture media yielded considerably higher transformation rates. The transgenic nature of hairy roots was demonstrated by the Ri T-DNA-mediated transfer of the rolB2 gene and the simultaneous absence of the virCD sequence of A. rhizogenes. Our findings provide strong evidence that A. rhizogenes-mediated transformation may be employed as a suitable approach for generating composite seedlings in lentil, a species whose recalcitrance severely hampers all efforts addressed to transformation and whole plant regeneration procedures. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the development of a non-laborious and time-efficient protocol for the generation of transgenic hairy roots in lentil, thus providing an amenable platform for root biology and gene expression studies in the context of improving traits related to biotic and abiotic stress tolerance.

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.

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.

Hairy Root Induction

<em>Agrobacterium rhizogenes</em> is known as a natural tool of genetic engineering in many plant species. For the first time, hairy root induction in <em>Agastache foeniculum</em> using <em>A. rhizogenes</em>,<em> </em>rosmarinic acid content<em> </em>and the effect of different culture media and inoculation methods on hairy root growth rate were investigated. Hairy root culture of <em>A. foeniculum</em> was established by inoculation of the 1-month-old leaf explant with A4 strain of <em>A. rhizogenes</em> and the effectiveness of light – dark conditions and two inoculation methods (immersion and injection) were tested. Furthermore, in immersion method, the effects of inoculation time (3, 5 and 7 min) on root induction were investigated. In the second part of the study, the hairy root culture of <em>A. foeniculum</em> was studied using different<em> </em>basal culture media (MS, 1/2 MS and B5). Rosmarinic acid content in hairy roots and non- transformed roots was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). There was no significant difference between various inoculation methods in the ability of hairy roots induction. Observations showed that percentage of hairy root induction was higher when the explants were immersed for 5 min in bacterial suspension. Light conditions displayed the highest hairy root induction rates compared with dark condition. Various culture media are different in terms of types and amounts of nutrients and have influence on growth rate. The maximum growth rate (1.61 g fr wt/50 ml) of hairy roots were obtained in 1/2 MS medium. Rosmarinic acid content in transformed roots (213.42 µg/g dry wt) was significantly higher than non-transformed roots (52.28 µg/ g dry wt).

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.

Transgenic hairy root system is a promising source of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants with high pharmaceutical value.For the first time, hairy roots were established in different explants of Linum mucronatum, an anti-cancer agent producing plant, via amikimopine type strain of Agrobacterium rhizogenes, ‘A13’. The percentage of hairy root induction varied from 0 to 60% depended onthe explants and hypocotyl (including cotyledonary node) explants were found to be highly susceptible to A. rhizogenes infection withthe highest (60%) rate of hairy root induction. four different Murashige and Skoog (MS)-based liquid culture media were used for wellestablishment of hairy roots. Hairy root growth medium D (HRGM-D) containing hormone-free MS basal medium with an extra oneday pre-incubation period at 35°C was found to be more efficient for profuse growth (fresh weight; 8500 mg per 25 ml culture medium)of hairy roots. Hairy root system presented in this study may offer a suitable platform for optimization and production of satisfactorylevel of aryltetralin lignans like podophyllotoxin and its derivatives from L. mucronatum.

Agrobacterium Rhizogenes Strains

Balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum (Jacq.) A. DC.), the only species in Platycodon genus (Campanulaceae), is mainly distributed in East Asia. The rhizomes of P. grandiflorum, a traditional herbal medicine, have been widely used for the treatment of cough, sore throat, asthma, tuberculosis and other diseases. Recently, pharmacological researches identified important biological activities compounds in the rhizomes. Thus, to study and extract valuable compounds, a hairy root induced technique was achieved on P. grandiflorum for stable material with fast growth rates (in hormone-free media) and metabolites production. To achieve this, the “natural genetic tool” Agrobacterium rhizogenes, which can transfer DNA segments into genome of plant, was exploited. The results suggested two (A. rhizogenes ATCC 15834 and C34) of four A. rhizogenes strains could induce hairy roots. RolB and rolC genes, which are responsible for the induction of hairy roots, were inserted into the genome of hairy roots. Leaves had the highest infection frequency of hairy root induction 100 %. The optimization of protocol, including time of immersion and co-culture, had the best results with 10 and 15 mins (10 mins for A. rhizogenes ATCC 15834 and 15 mins for A. rhizogenes C34) and 72 hours, respectively. In the future, this protocol, which was described in this paper, should be useful for studying and isolating valuable compounds from P. grandiflorum hairy root cultures.

Catharanthus roseus is a well known medicinal plant. It produces several phytocompounds and many of which show anticancerous properties. However the yields of these compounds are very low. Recently, induction of C. roseus hairy roots by Agrobacterium rhizogenes, is interested as a promising tool for the enhanced production of these metabolites. In this research, wounded leaves from four strains of C. roseus were infected with various strains of A. rhizogenes isolated in Vietnam to provide more information about the induction efficiency of hairy roots. In this experiment, after 3 weeks of infection, the presence of rolB gene in hairy roots were analysed by polymerase chain reaction. All of 13 A. rhizogenes strains could induce the formation of hairy root in C. roseus. The A. rhizogenes C18 strain had the highest induction percentage in C. roseus VIN002, VIN005, and VIN072 with 59.4 %, 50.3 %, and 40.0 % respectively. And the same result was ontained at 26.7% by A. Rhizogenes C26 for C. roseus VIN077 rhizogenes strains. This result identified two A. rhizogenes strains C18 and C26 as potential transformation tools for hairy root production from C. roseus.
