Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is a crop that can produce resveratrol, a compound with various biological properties, such as those that exert antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, trans-resveratrol was detected in the roots, leaves, and stems of tan and purple seed coat peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) cultivated in a growth chamber. Both cultivars showed higher levels of resveratrol in the roots than the other plant parts. Thus, both cultivars were inoculated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes, in vitro, to promote hairy root development, thereby producing enhanced levels of t-resveratrol. After 1 month of culture, hairy roots from the two cultivars showed higher levels of fresh weight than those of seedling roots. Furthermore, both cultivars contained higher t-resveratrol levels than those of their seedling roots (6.88 ± 0.21 mg/g and 28.07 ± 0.46 mg/g, respectively); however, purple seed coat peanut hairy roots contained higher t-resveratrol levels than those of tan seed coat peanut hairy roots, ranging from 70.16 to 166.76 mg/g and from 46.61 to 54.31 mg/g, respectively. The findings of this study indicate that peanut hairy roots could be a good source for t-resveratrol production due to their rapid growth, high biomass, and substantial amount of resveratrol.

Glucosinolate Profile

Bunias erucago belongs to the Brassicaceae family, which represents a forgotten crop of the Euro-Mediterranean area. The aim of the present study was to determine the glucosinolate profile in different plant parts and biological properties (antioxidant, anticholinesterase, and cytotoxic activities) of the isolates containing glucosinolate breakdown products. The chemical profiles were determined by using HPLC-PDA-MS/MS of desulfoglucosinolates and GC-MS of glucosinolate degradation products. The analysis of B. erucago showed the presence of seven glucosinolates: gluconapin (1), glucoraphasatin (2), glucoraphenin (3), glucoerucin (4), glucoraphanin (5), glucotropaeolin (6), and glucosinalbin (7). The total glucosinolate content ranged from 7.0 to 14.6 µmol/g of dry weight, with the major glucosinolate glucosinalbin in all parts. The antioxidant activity of all volatile isolates was not notable. At a tested concentration of 227 μg/mL, flower hydro-distillate (FH) showed good AChE inhibition, i.e., 40.9%, while root hydro-distillate (RH) had good activity against BChE, i.e., 54.3%. FH showed the best activity against both tested human bladder cancer cell lines, i.e., against T24 after 72 h, which have IC50 of 16.0 μg/mL, and against TCCSUP after 48 h with IC50 of 7.8 μg/mL, and can be considered as highly active. On the other hand, RH showed weak activity against tested cancer cells.

Variability in growth and nutritional dynamics of in vitro tomato hairy root lines and their relationship with responsiveness to mycorrhizal colonization were studied. Four tomato cultivars were transformed with three Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains to obtain several hairy root lines, which were compared for growth and receptivity to Glomus intraradices. Four transformed hairy root lines were further characterized and compared with excised roots of the nontransformed tomato cultivar 'Cobra' and with Ri-T-DNA carrot hairy roots. Lines were compared during 4 months on minimal medium in terms of growth, nutrient uptake, and mycorrhizal colonization. In a subexperiment, the cultures were grown on a modified minimal medium to assess the contribution of initial inorganic phosphate concentration in mycorrhizal susceptibility of the three initially nonreceptive lines. On minimal medium, growth and nutrient uptake rates were highly correlated, but both were unrelated to mycorrhizal receptiveness. All the lines successfully established the symbiosis when the initial phosphate concentration was significantly reduced. No association was found between the origin of lines from the different tomato cultivar – bacterial strain combinations and the absence of symbiosis establishment on minimal medium. Decrease of inorganic phosphate concentration at the beginning of the culture was a key factor involved in precolonization steps of mycorrhizal symbiosis.Key words: Glomus intraradices, hairy roots, Lycopersicon esculentum, mycorrhizal responsiveness, root nutrition, inorganic phosphate.

Introduction: Our previous study showed that Urena lobata L. hairy root is a potential pharmaceutical source for type 2 diabetes treatment. In order to improve the transformation efficacy and the quality of hairy roots, this study examined the effects of several factors including age, parts of plants, infection time and culture medium in inducing hairy roots in Urena lobata L. Methods: In this study, we investigated four factors to improve the hairy root induction in Urena lobata L. These factors include: age of plant (15-day-old in vitro plants, 45-day-old in vitro plants and after two subculture generations plants), different parts of plant (roots, stems, and leaves), infection time (10, 20 and 30 minutes), and culture medium (Murashige and Skoog (MS), Gamborg B5 medium (GB5) and Woody plant medium (WPM)). All experiments were repeated three times, with uninfected leaf explants of 15-day-old in vitro as the negative control. The transformation frequency and the fresh biomass of hairy roots were recorded at four weeks after infection. Results: The results showed that the optimized procedure which used 15-day-old in vitro plants, the leafy part, the infection time of 10 minutes and culture in the WPM medium was better than the original procedure. The optimized procedure achieved a transformation frequency of 100%. In addition, the fresh biomass of hairy roots formed on an explant in the optimized procedure was 3.2 times higher than the ones induced by the original procedure. Conclusion: The results showed that the optimized procedure was more effective than the original procedure in inducing Urena lobata hairy roots.

AbstractHairy root cultures are an efficient tool for the biotechnological production of plant metabolites and a convenient experimental model for analyzing the effect of various compounds on plant metabolism. In contrast to many other types of in vitro plant cultures, hairy roots do not require an external supply of phytohormones to the medium. Consequently, plant growth regulators such as auxins and cytokinins are rarely used as elicitors in hairy root in vitro cultures; however, they can strongly influence plant defense responses. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of two auxins: natural indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and synthetic 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), as well as two cytokinins: natural kinetin and synthetic 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) at a concentration of 0.75 mg/L on the metabolism of sterols and triterpenoids in Calendula officinalis hairy roots. Auxins prevented the accumulation of triterpenoid saponins (oleanolic acid glycosides), while cytokinin BAP increased their accumulation by 17% and their release into the culture medium by a factor of 10. Other cytokinins and kinetins increased the sterol levels by 17%, the level of stigmasterol by 15%, and the level of isofucosterol by 7 times.

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.

Common vetch (Vicia sativa) is a multi-purpose legume widely used in pasture and crop rotation systems. Vetch seeds have desirable nutritional characteristics and are often used to feed ruminant animals. Although transcriptomes are available for vetch, problems with genetic transformation and plant regeneration hinder functional gene studies in this legume species. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a simple, efficient and rapid hairy root transformation system for common vetch to facilitate functional gene analysis. At first, we infected the hypocotyls of 5-day-old in vitro or in vivo, soil-grown seedlings with Rhizobium rhizogenes K599 using a stabbing method and produced transgenic hairy roots after 24 days at 19 and 50% efficiency, respectively. We later improved the hairy root transformation in vitro by infecting different explants (seedling, hypocotyl-epicotyl, and shoot) with R. rhizogenes. We observed hairy root formation at the highest efficiency in shoot and hypocotyl-epicotyl explants with 100 and 93% efficiency, respectively. In both cases, an average of four hairy roots per explant were obtained, and about 73 and 91% of hairy roots from shoot and hypocotyl-epicotyl, respectively, showed stable expression of a co-transformed marker β-glucuronidase (GUS). In summary, we developed a rapid, highly efficient, hairy root transformation method by using R. rhizogenes on vetch explants, which could facilitate functional gene analysis in common vetch.

The objective of this work was to perform the screening of soybean genotypes as to their ability to respond to the induction of hairy roots by Agrobacterium rhizogenes‑mediated transformation. Four Brazilian soybean cultivars (BRSMG 68 Vencedora, BRS 137, Embrapa 48, and MG/BR 46 Conquista) and two North American ones adapted to Brazilian cropping conditions (Bragg and IAS‑5) were screened for their capacity to respond to A. rhizogenes in protocols for in vitro hairy root culture and ex vitro composite plant production. Four‑day‑old seedlings with uniform size were injected with A. rhizogenes harboring the plasmid p35S‑GFP. Seedlings expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) in at least one hairy root were used to determine the transformation frequency. Using an axenic in vitro protocol, excised cotyledons from four‑day‑old seedlings were infected with A. rhizogenes harboring the pCAMBIA1301 plasmid, containing the gusA reporter gene. The transformation frequency and the number of days for hairy root emergence after bacterial infection (DAI) were evaluated. The transformation frequency and DAI varied according to the genotype. Cultivars MG/BR 46 Conquista and BRSMG 68 Vencedora are more susceptible to A. rhizogenes and can be recommended for transformation experiments.

Histone Deacetylase 1

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is a crop plant with high economic value, but the epigenetic regulation of its growth and development has only rarely been studied. The peanut histone deacetylase 1 gene (AhHDA1) has been isolated and is known to be ABA- and drought-responsive. In this paper, we investigate the role of AhHDA1 in more detail, focussing on the effect of altered AhHDA1 expression in hairy roots at both the phenotypic and transcriptional levels. Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation of A. hypogaea hairy roots was used to analyse how overexpression or RNA interference of AhHDA1 affects this tissue. In both types of transgenic hairy root, RNA sequencing was adopted to identify genes that were differentially expressed, and these genes were assigned to specific metabolic pathways. AhHDA1-overexpressing hairy roots were growth-retarded after 20 d in vitro cultivation, and superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide accumulated to a greater extent than in control or RNAi groups. Overexpression of AhHDA1 is likely to accelerate flux through various secondary synthetic metabolic pathways in hairy roots, as well as reduce photosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation. Genes encoding the critical enzymes caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase (Araip.XGB85) and caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase (Araip.Z3XZX) in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, chalcone synthase (Araip.B8TJ0) and polyketide reductase (Araip.MKZ27) in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway, and hydroxyisoflavanone synthase (Araip.0P3RJ) and isoflavone 2'-hydroxylase (Araip.S5EJ7) in the isoflavonoid biosynthesis pathway were significantly upregulated by AhHDA1 overexpression, while their expression in AhHDA1-RNAi and control hairy roots remained at a lower level or was unchanged. Our results suggest that alteration of secondary metabolism activities is related to overexpression of AhHDA1, which is mainly reflected in phenylpropanoid, flavonoid and flavonoid biosynthesis. Future studies will focus on the function of AhHDA1 interacting proteins and their action on cell growth and stress responses.

Symbiotic Associations

Medicago truncatula, a diploid autogamous legume, is currently being developed as a model plant for the study of root endosymbiotic associations, including nodulation and mycorrhizal colonization. An important requirement for such a plant is the possibility of rapidly introducing and analyzing chimeric gene constructs in root tissues. For this reason, we developed and optimized a convenient protocol for Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation of M. truncatula. This unusual protocol, which involves the inoculation of sectioned seedling radicles, results in rapid and efficient hairy root organogenesis and the subsequent development of vigorous “composite plants.” In addition, we found that kanamycin can be used to select for the co-transformation of hairy roots directly with gene constructs of interest. M. truncatula composite plant hairy roots have a similar morphology to normal roots and can be nodulated successfully by their nitrogen-fixing symbiotic partner, Sinorhizobium meliloti. Furthermore, spatiotemporal expression of the Nod factor-responsive reporter p MtENOD11-gusA in hairy root epidermal tissues is indistinguishable from that observed in Agrobacterium tumefaciens-transformed lines. M. truncatula hairy root explants can be propagated in vitro, and we demonstrate that these clonal lines can be colonized by endomycorrhizal fungi such as Glomus intraradices with the formation of arbus-cules within cortical cells. Our results suggest that M. truncatula hairy roots represent a particularly attractive system with which to study endosymbiotic associations in transgenically modified roots.

Meja Treatment

Silene vulgaris (Moench) Garcke (Caryophyllaceae) is widely distributed in North America and contains bioactive oleanane-type saponins. In order to investigate in vitro production of triterpenoid saponins, hairy root cultures of S. vulgaris were established by infecting leaf explants with five strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes (LBA9402, R1000, A4, 13333, and 15834). The A. rhizogenes strain LBA9402 had an infection of 100% frequency and induced the most hairy roots per plant. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-induced changes in triterpenoid saponins in S. vulgaris hairy roots were analyzed. Accumulation of segetalic acid and gypsogenic acid after MeJA treatment was 5-and 2-fold higher, respectively, than that of control root. We suggest that hairy root cultures of S. vulgaris could be an important alternative approach to the production of saponins.
