Hairy roots were induced by infecting stems and leaves of Glycyrrhiza inflata with Agrobacterium rhizogenes ATCC 15834. The optimization of growth and glycyrrhizin accumulation of G. inflata hairy roots was studied. Sucrose (6%, w/v) was optimal for growth and glycyrrhizin accumulation in G. inflata hairy roots. Effects of elicitors like chitosan, methyl jasmonate, and yeast extract on glycyrrh...

Cell growth and flavonoid production in cell suspension cultures of Glycyrrhiza inflata Batal were investigated under various initial inoculum densities, and sucrose and nitrogen concentrations to develop an optimization method for an improved flavonoid production. Both biomass accumulation and flavonoid production exhibited an "S" curve in one culture cycle, with the greatest value obtained on...
