Background: Trigonella foenum-graecum L. commonly known as fenugreek is a rich source of important medicinal metabolite, i.e. trigonelline. Objective: In this study, hairy roots culture as a novel method for trigonelline production was evaluated. Methods: For optimizing the hairy roots culture of Trigonella foenum-graecum, three strains of Agrobacterium rhyzogenes (ATCC15834, MSU440 and K...

Using Agrobacterium rhizogenes due to create hairy roots is a useful method to product secondary metabolites in many medicinal plants. The transgenic hairy roots were induced from Peganum multisectum (Maxim) Bobrov a medicinally important species, by infecting leaf and stem explant with wild type Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain ATTCC 15834, which led to the induction of hairy roots from 19% of ...

People have used carnivorous plants of the genus Sarracenia in folk medicine for centuries due to biochemical composition plants, which are rich numerous bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral and antibacterial properties. The subject this study was genetic transformation purpurea L. Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains 15834, 9402 A4 using two different methods: bacteri...

Artemisinin and its derivatives are still one of the most effective drugs for the treatment of malaria. Artemisia pallens commonly known as Dhavanam, is an aromatic herb belonging to the family Asteraceae. Increasing the artemisinin content of A. pallens by genetic engineering would improve the availability of this much needed drug. In the present study, Agrobacterium rhizogenes (strain NCIM 51...
