Abstract: | Summary Hairy root cultures of Solanum aculeatissimum were established by trans-formation using Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain 15834. Root growth and production of steroidal saponin were investigated under various culture conditions. Transformed roots grew better in Gamborg's B5 medium containing 3 % sucrose under continuous light than in the dark. Also, the roots turned light green when cultured under continuous light. Green hairy roots produced aculeatiside A (6.71mg ·) L–1 and aculeatiside B (6.39mg · L–1) after 8 weeks of culture, while no steroidal saponin was detected in hairy roots cultured in the dark. Of the three culture media tested, Gamborg's B5 medium was superior for growth and steroidal saponin production. Growth and steroidal saponin production were enhanced when 100 g · L–1 auxin except for 2,4-D was added to the medium. The addition of 2,4-D inhibited growth. Production of steroidal saponin was highest with NAA. Transformed roots used in this experiment were confirmed that hairy roots examined contain both TL-DNA and TR-DNA region of Ri plasmid by PCR amplification analysis of DNA.Abbreviations MS medium Murashige and Skoog's medium (1962) - B5 medium Gamborg's B5 medium (1968) - LS medium Linsmaier and Skoog's medium(1965) - HPLC High performance liquid chromatography - NAA -Naphthaleneacetic acid - IAA Indole-3-acetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - PCR polymerase chain reaction |
