Transformation of Saussurea involucrata by Agrobacterium rhizogenes: Hairy root induction and syringin production

Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated genetic transformation of Saussurea involucrata was investigated. Four bacterial strains, A4, LBA 9402, R1000 and R1601 and three explant types, leaf blade, petiole and root, were examined. Over 100 hairy root lines were successfully established with strains R1601, R1000 and LBA9402, but none with A4. The highest transformation efficiency of 67% was achieved by using strain R1601 with root explants. One hairy root line isolated from this combination, HR1601-1, produced up to 43.5 ± 1.13 mg syringin g⁻¹ dw, which is about 50-fold higher than that in the wild type plants.Two other lines, HR1000-1 and HRLBA9402-1, isolated from R1000- and LBA9402-transformed roots, respectively, also displayed high capacity of syringin production, being 32.5 ± 3.08 and 39.7 ± 1.37 mg syringin g⁻¹ dw. These three lines were characterized in detail. Polymerase chain reaction analyses confirmed these root lines were of A. rhizogenes origin.     

A reliable and efficient protocol for inducing genetically transformed roots in medicinal plant Nepeta pogonosperma

Nepeta pogonosperma is an important medicinal plant with anti-inflammatory effects. An efficient and reliable transformation system for this plant was developed through optimization of several factors which affected the rate of Agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated transformation. Five bacterial strains, A4, ATCC15834, LBA9402, MSU440 and A13, two explant types, leaves and stems, and several co-cultivation media were examined. The maximum rate of hairy root induction was obtained from stem explants using MSU440 and ATCC15834 bacterial strains. A drastic increase in the frequency of transformation (91 %) was observed when MS medium lacking NH₄NO₃, KH₂PO₄, KNO₃ and CaCl₂. Hairy root lines were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers of the rolB gene. According to Southern blot analysis, one T-DNA copy was inserted into each of the hairy root lines. In the present study, transgenic hairy roots have been obtained trough genetic transformation by A. rhizogenes harbouring two plasmids, the Ri plasmid and pBI121 binary vector harbouring gus reporter gene. Expression of the gus gene in transgenic hairy root was confirmed by histochemical GUS assay.     

Genetic Transformation of Brassica juncea var. tsatsi Induced by Ri T-DNA of Agrobacterium rhizogenes

Hairy roots of mustard (Brassica juncea var. tsatsi) cv. "Paoye' were obtained from in vitro inoculation of reversely inserted petioles with Agrobacteriurn rhizogenes strain LBA9402 harbouring the agropine-type Ri plasmid (pRi1855). The root inducing rate was 100%. Transformed roots grew rapidly on hormone-free MS medium and showed typical hairy root phenotype. Transformed plantlets regenerated from hairy roots on MS medium supplemented with BA 8.0 mg/L and NAA 0.6 mg/L. Opine analysis evidenced the integration and expression of TR-DNA, PCR analysis and Southern hybridization confirmed the integration of TL-DNA including 862 bp rol B sequence in the transformed plants.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium rhizogenes</Emphasis> mediated transformation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Scutellaria baicalensis</Emphasis> and production of flavonoids in hairy roots

Using different explants of in vitro seed grown Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi plantlets, hairy roots were induced following inoculation of Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains A₄GUS, R1000 LBA 9402 and ATCC11325. The A₄GUS proved to be more competent than other strains and the highest transformation rates were observed in cotyledonary leaf explant (42.6 %). The transformed roots appeared after 15–20 d of incubation on hormone free Murashige and Skoog medium. Growth of hairy roots was assessed on the basis of total root elongation, lateral root density and biomass accumulation. Maximum growth rate was recorded in root:medium ratio 1:100 (m/v). Hairy root lines were further established in Gamborg B₅ medium and the biomass increase was maximum from 15 to 30 d. PCR, Southern hybridization and RT-PCR confirmed integration and expression of left and right termini-linked Ri T-DNA fragment of the Ri plasmid from A₄GUS into the genome of Scutellaria baicalensis hairy roots. GUS assay was also performed for further integration and expression. All the clones showed higher growth rate them non-transformed root and accumulated considerable amounts of the root-specific flavonoids. Baicalin content was 14.1–30.0 % of dry root mass which was significantly higher then that of control field grown roots (18 %). The wogonin content varies from 0.08 to 0.18 % among the hairy root clones which was also higher than in non-transformed roots (0.07 %).
