Hairy root induction and Farnesiferol B production of endemic medicinal plant Ferula pseudalliacea

Culture conditions for induction of hairy roots in medicinal plant Coleus blumei

Hairy root induction in plants has affected by many factors including type, age of explant and bacterial strain. In the present study, the effects of bacterial strains (A4, C58, 15834 and GM), two concentrations (OD600= 0.5 and 1) and two explants (leaves and stems) in hairy root induction of C. blumei</...

Induction and growth of hairy roots for the production of medicinal compounds

The development of genetically transformed plant tissue cultures and mainly of roots transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogenes (hairy roots), is a key step in the use of in vitro cultures for the production of secondary metabolites. Hairy roots are able to grow fast without phytohormones, and to produce the metabolites of the mother plant. The conditions of transformation (nature and age of the e...

Production of Antioxidant Peptides from Ferula Asafoetida Root Protein

In recent years, there has been much importance placed on finding novel therapeutic agents from F. asafoetida plant and it’s common name is Asafoetida. It is commonly used as a traditional medicine in Iran, Afghanistan and India. It is herbaceous plant of the Umbelliferae family and its root contains oleo gum resin which has many medicinal properties. The resin is solid or semisolid with alliac...

Transformation of Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense by Rhizobium rhizogenes: Hairy root induction and gossypol production

Improvement of lignans production in hairy root culture of Linum mucronatum using abiotic and biotic elicitors .

Elicitors could be used as the enhancer of plant secondary-metabolite synthesis and could play an important role in biosynthetic pathways of important medicinal compounds. The present study investigated the effect of abiotic elicitor (fungal extract of Fusarium graminearum) and two abiotic elicitors (methyl jasmonate and salicylic acid) at different concentrations in 18- and 30-day-old cultures...
