We investigated the intracellular distribution of tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) (EC 4.1.1.28) in Catharanthus roseus hairy roots using immunofluorescence and immunogold techniques. TDC was detected by immunofluorescence localization in the cytosol and in the apoplastic region of the meristematic cells of the roots, with a slight enrichment in the epidermal cells of the root cap and in the meristematic region. In the enlargement zone, TDC was localized only in the first three layers of the cortex. In the maturation zone, the enzyme was not present. Immunogold studies confirmed that the enzyme was localized in the cytosol of the meristematic region, and intense gold labeling was found in the apoplastic zone. A protein fraction isolated from the apoplastic zone and assayed for TDC activity showed high activity.  相似文献

Hairy root cultures of Catharanthus roseus were established by infection with six different Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains. Two plant varieties were used and found to exhibit significantly different responses to infection. Forty-seven hairy root clones derived from normal plants and two derived from the flowerless variety were screened for their growth and indole alkaloid production. The growth rate and morphological appearance showed wide variations between the clones. The alkaloid spectra observed were qualitatively but not quantitatively very similar to that of the corresponding normal plant roots. No vindoline or deacetyltransferase activity could be detected in any of the cultures studied. O-acetylval-lesamine, an alkaloid which has not been previously observed in C. roseus was identified from extracts of hairy root clone No. 8. Two root clones were examined for their growth and alkaloid accumulation during a 26-day culture period. Alkaloid accumulation parallelled growth in both clones with ca. 2 mg ajmalicine and catharanthine per g dry weight being observed.Dedicated to Dr. Friedrich Constabel on the occasion of his 60th birthday  相似文献

The enzyme tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) (EC 4.1.1.28) catalyses a key step in the biosynthesis of terpenoid indole alkaloids inC. roseus by converting tryptophan into tryptamine. Hardly anytdc mRNA could be detected in hormone-independent callus and cell suspension cultures transformed by the oncogenic T-DNA ofAgrobacterium tumefaciens. Supply of tryptamine may therefore represent a limiting factor in the biosynthesis of alkaloids by such cultures. To investigate this possibility, chimaeric gene constructs, in which atdc cDNA is linked in the sense or antisense orientation to the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and terminator, were introduced inC. roseus cells by infecting seedlings with an oncogenicA. tumefaciens strain. In the resulting crown gall tumour calluses harbouring thetdc sense construct, an increased TDC protein level, TDC activity and tryptamine content but no significant increase in terpenoid indole alkaloid production were observed compared to empty-vector-transformed tumour calluses. In tumour calluses containing thetdc antisense construct, decreased levels of TDC activity were measured. Factors which might be responsible for the lack in increased terpenoid indole alkaloid production in thetdc cDNA overexpressing crown gall calluses are discussed.  相似文献

Summary Ten transformed and two non-transformed root lines ofCatharanthus roseus were established. A systematic study of the growth kinetics and alkaloid content was performed over a culture cycle and showed significant differences between transformed and non-transformed cultures. Mean doubling times for transformed and normal root lines were 2.8 and 19.5 days, respectively. Alkaloid content in hairy roots was from two- to threefold higher than in the non-transformed tissues. The established transformed root lines produced a wide variety of indole alkaloids as can be observed from their complex thin layer chromatography patterns. A large quantity of serpentine was determined in two of the transformed root cultures. Alkaloid content, both quantitatively and qualitatively, has been stable in the hairy root cultures for more than 2 yr of subculturing.  相似文献

A kinetic metabolic model describing Catharanthus roseus hairy root growth and nutrition was developed. The metabolic network includes glycolysis, pentose-phosphate pathway, TCA cycle and the catabolic reactions leading to cell building blocks such as amino acids, organic acids, organic phosphates, lipids and structural hexoses. The central primary metabolic network was taken at pseudo-steady state and metabolic flux analysis technique allowed reducing from 31 metabolic fluxes to 20 independent pathways. Hairy root specific growth rate was described as a function of intracellular concentration in cell building blocks. Intracellular transport and accumulation kinetics for major nutrients were included. The model uses intracellular nutrients as well as energy shuttles to describe metabolic regulation. Model calibration was performed using experimental data obtained from batch and medium exchange liquid cultures of C. roseus hairy root using a minimal medium in Petri dish. The model is efficient in estimating the growth rate.  相似文献

Summary Hairy roots of Catharanthus roseus were cultivated in three different types of bioreactors. The best growth and indole alkaloid production was achieved in an airsparged bioreactor with no other mixing. In the stirred bioreactor or in the bioreactor with medium circulation the roots did not grow, suggesting that hairy roots of C. roseus are more sensitive to stress than root cultures of many other plant species.  相似文献

Scaled-up hairy root culture of Artemisia annua L. was established in three-liter Erlenmeyer flask. Both artemisinin and stigmasterol that derive from the common precursors of isopentenyl diphosphate and farnesyl pyrophosphate were isolated from hairy roots. The production rate of artemisinin isolated by column chromatography from hairy root cultures was 0.54% (mg.gDW−1). Stigmasterol was identified by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. The production of stigmasterol isolated by column chromatography from hairy root cultures was 108.3% (mg.gDW−1). In hairy root cultures, the production rate of stigmasterol was estimated to be 201 times greater than that of artemisinin. Our results suggest that investigation of secondary metabolites may provide a new insight to study artemisinin production in hairy root cultures.

We constructed a recombinant antibody fragment—single chain fragment-variable (scFv) antibody—derived from hybridoma cell lines to control the concentration of solasodine glycosides in hairy root cultures of Solanum khasianum transformed by the anti-solamargine (As)-scFv gene. The properties of the As-scFv protein expressed in Escherichia coli were almost identical to those of the parent monoclonal antibody (MAb). Up to 220 ng recombinant As-scFv was expressed per milligram of soluble protein in transgenic hairy root cultures of S. khasianum. The concentration of solasodine glycosides was 2.3-fold higher in the transgenic than in the wild-type hairy root, as reflected by the soluble As-scFv level and antigen binding activities. These results suggested that the scFv antibody expressed in transgenic hairy roots controlled the antigen level, thus representing a novel plant breeding methodology that can produce secondary metabolites.Communicated by F.

This article reviews our present knowledge on the formation of tryptophan derived secondary metabolites in tissue cultures of Peganum harmala. With the presence of -carboline alkaloids and serotonin, P. harmala contains two rather simple, interrelated biosynthetic pathways. The long term disadvantage of low and unstable productivity of P. harmala suspension culture has recently been overcome by establishing highly productive hairy root cultures. The first -carboline alkaloid biosynthetic enzymes, specific for the O-methylation of harmalol and harmol as well as for the oxidation of harmaline to harmine, have been detected in these cultures, and they should thus provide a suitable source for studying the yet unknown initial two enzymatic steps of -carboline alkaloid biosynthesis. Seedlings of P. harmala have also been successfully transformed with constructed strains of Agrobacterium, as demonstrated by the overexpression of a tryptophan decarboxylase gene from Catharanthus roseus in cultures of P. harmala. In such transgenic cultures a large overproduction of serotonin was observed. The relative simplicity of these pathways and the rather easy handling of the cultures could make P. harmala a useful and attractive model system for studying the interaction, regulation and manipulation of secondary pathways in cultured cells.Abbreviations TDC tryptophan decarboxylase - tdc gene of tryptophan decarboxylase  相似文献

Ruta graveolens L. is a source of pharmacologically active compounds such as coumarins, furanocoumarins and furoquinolone alkaloids. Hypocotyls, callus and shoots of R. graveolens were inoculated with bacteria from two Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains. Hairy root cultures were established after inoculation of hypocotyls with wild A. rhizogenes strain LBA 9402. The transgenic nature of the regenerated tissue was confirmed by PCR amplification. Coumarins, furanocoumarins and alkaloids present in the hairy root tissue were identified by GC and GC-MS and compared with those present in in vitro shoot cultures. The level of pinnarin and rutacultin, bergapten, isopimpinelin and xanthotoxin was approximately twofold higher in hairy root than in shoot cultures. Two additional coumarins: osthole and osthenol, never been found in R. graveolens, were identified in hairy root tissue. Besides coumarins, alkaloids were identified: dictamnine, skimmianine, kokusaginine, rybalinine and an isomer of rybalinine. The levels of nearly all coumarins and alkaloids in hairy roots cultured in the darkness were higher than those accumulated under a photoperiod mode.  相似文献

Summary The factors in the inoculum conditions that influence the growth rate of hairy roots of Catharanthus roseus in liquid culture were investigated in a randomized two-level, three-factor statistical design. The three variables were the number of root tips, the length of root tips, and the initial volume of media. The experiments and analysis demonstrated the effect of inoculum conditions on hairy root growth, with the length of hairy root tips being the dominant variable without any clonal variability. The best growth rates (doubling times) were obtained with an inoculum of 5 hairy root tips, each 35–40 mm long in 50 mL media: 3.7 and 3.1 days for C. roseus hairy root clones LBE-6-1 and LBE-4-2, respectively.  相似文献

This report describes the technique used to induce the hairy roots in Physalis minima (Linn.). Different types of explants obtained from in vitro germinated seedlings were aseptically co-cultivated with A. rhizogenesstrain LBA9402 in different media. Root growth and production of physalins were investigated in various basal media grown under dark and light conditions, and compared to that of normal root cultures. Transformed hairy root cultures grew rapidly and reach stationary phase after 15 days on a B5 medium. HPLC analysis of extracts of hairy root cultures showed that the maximum content of physalin B and F was 1.82 and 4.15 mg g–1 DW, respectively, when grown under dark conditions. Normal root cultures produced higher physalin B (1.60–1.62 mg g–1 DW) and F (3.30–3.75 mg g–1 DW) under the same culture conditions. Physalin F synthesis in light-grown root cultures was reduced significantly.  相似文献

Transformed root cultures of Coluria geoides Ledeb. were established with the use of Agrobacterium rhizogenes LBA 9402. Both normal and transformed root cultures were investigated for their growth and yield of eugenol. Normal roots were grown in B5 medium-supplemented with 0.2 mg l-1 of kinetin and 0.2 mg l-1 of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Hairy roots grew well in hormone-free B5 medium. Both hairy roots and normal roots produced glycosidic bound eugenol. as with the roots of intact plants, eugenol was the main component of the total essential oils obtained from hairy root and normal root cultures. The yield of eugenol from normal roots was 0.1–0.25% of the dry wt. and depended on the development stage of the culture. Yield of eugenol from hairy roots was 0.08–0.1% of the dry wt. NAA modified the hairy root morphology and influenced the yield of eugenol.Abbreviations NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid  相似文献

Summary Growth kinetics and indole alkaloid production ofCatharanthus roseus hairy root cultures were studied in shake flasks and in a small scale fermenter. A logistic growth model commonly used for microbes described well the growth of hairy roots. Of the several parameters analyzed during the cultivation of hairy roots, a linear relationship between sucrose consumption and dry weight increase was obtained. This suggests the validity of sugar analysis as a means in monitoring the growth of hairy roots in fermenters.  相似文献

Summary Tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC), the enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of tryptophan to trytamine, was studied in aCatharanthus roseus transformed root culture. Its activity was evaluated through the culture cycle (36 days), along with the variations in the tryptamine pool as well as the accumulation of alkaloids. Ajmalicine and catharanthine contents in the tissues increased coordinately with an increase in TDC-specific activity after 18 days of growth. No dramatic shifts were observed for the total alkaloid and tryptamine profiles.  相似文献

Light plays an important role in almost all plant developmental processes and provides the fundamental building blocks for growth, development, primary and secondary metabolism. The effects of light on growth rate and caffeic acid derivative (CADs) biosynthesis in hairy root cultures of Echinacea purpurea (Moench) were assessed. Light-grown hairy roots accumulated increased levels of anthocyanins, which became visible in outer cell layer of the cortex as a ring of purple color. The light-grown root cultures also had radially thickened morphology compared with the dark-grown controls. The growth rate and cell viability of the hairy root cultures in light did not show obvious difference in comparison with those in dark. However, biosynthesis of CADs including cichoric acid, caftaric acid, chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid was significantly increased in hairy root cultures grown in the light. The enhanced accumulation of CADs and anthocyanins in E. purpurea hairy root cultures was correlated to an observed light-stimulated activity of phenylalanine ammonium lyase (PAL).  相似文献

In vitro cultures of hairy root derived from Catharanthus roseus accumulate higher levels of indole alkaloids than cell suspension cultures. Hairy roots were interconverted to undifferentiated cells by manipulation of the culture medium. When the concentration of micronutrients in the culture medium was five times that of Phillips and Collins (1979) medium, cell suspensions formed from the hairy roots. The alkaloid content was five times lower in the cell suspensions than in the control, but upon regeneration of the roots the alkaloid content regained its original level. The formation of cell suspensions from hairy roots was also accompanied by a reduction in tryptophan decarboxylase and the strictosidine synthase activity to less than 5% and 30%, respectively. 3-Hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase activity was the same in the cell suspension and in the regenerated line.

Axenically grown Saussurea medusa plantlets were inoculated with four Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains, and hairy root lines were established with A. rhizogenes strain R1601 in N6 medium. PCR and Southern hybridization confirmed integration of the T-DNA fragment of the Ri plasmid from A. rhizogenes into the genome of S. medusa hairy roots. In N6 medium, maximum biomass of the hairy root cultures was achieved [8 g (dry weight) per liter; growth ratio 35-fold] after 21 days of culture. The amount of jaceosidin extracted from the hairy root cultures was 46 mg/l (production ratio of 37-fold) after 27 days of culture. The maximum jaceosidin content obtained using N6 medium was higher than that obtained with Modified White, MS or B5 medium. In N6 medium, the tip segments were more efficient for hairy root growth and jaceosidin production than the middle and basal regions of the root.Abbreviations AS Acetosyringone - BA Benzyladenine - cef Cefotaxime sodium - DW Dry weight - FW Fresh weight - HPLC High-performance liquid chromatography - IAA Indole-3-acetic acid - km Kanamycin - NAA -Naphthaleneacetic acid - SDS Sodium dodecyl sulfate  相似文献

Transgenic hairy root cultures have the potential to be an industrial production platform for a variety of chemicals. This report demonstrates the long‐term stability of a transgenic Catharanthus roseus hairy root line containing the inducible expression of a feedback‐insensitive anthranilate synthase (AS). After 5 years in liquid culture, the presence of the inserted AS gene was confirmed by genomic PCR. The inducible expression of AS was confirmed by enzyme assay and by changes in terpenoid indole alkaloid concentrations. This report also demonstrates that it may take as long as 2 years for the metabolite profile to stabilize. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2009;102: 1521–1525. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献
