Analysis of genes preferentially expressed in hairy roots caused by infection with Agrobacterium rhizogenes has provided insights into the regulation of lateral root formation. A hairy root preferential cDNA, HR7, has been cloned from hairy roots of Hyoscyamus niger. HR7 encodes a novel protein partially homologous to a metallocarboxypeptidase inhibitor and is expressed exclusively in the primo...

Linum spp. (Linaceae) has been shown to accumulate cytotoxic lignans such as podophyllotoxin and 6-methoxypodopyllotoxin. Therefore, plant cell and tissue cultures of Linum spp. may be possible alternative sources for the lignan production. In this study, we focused on the production of lignans by root cultures of Linum spp. Hairy root cultures of L. nodiflorum, L.album and L. austriacum and ro...

Background & Aim:A new sustainable tissue-based system is presented by plant hairy roots, preserving all of the several specialized types of cell with critical roles in allowing bioactive secondary molecules to be synthesized more consistently as usual. The system is also essential for studying the production of alkaloid in culture. Experimental: The ...

hairy root systems are formed by transforming plant tissues with the “natural genetic engineer” agrobacterium rhizogenes. in most plants such as cichorium intybus l., hairy root cultures have proven to be an efficient system for secondary metabolites production. the effect of zinc (znso4), a heavy metal, was investigated at different concentrations (0, 1, 5 and 10 mm) on some secondary metaboli...

[Context and Motivation] A hairy requirements or software engineering task involving natural language (NL) documents is one that is not inherently difficult for NL-understanding humans on a small scale but becomes unmanageable in the large scale. A hairy task demands tool assistance. Because humans need help in carrying out a hairy task completely, a tool for a hairy task should have as close t...

Background: Congenital lobar emphysema, also called infantile lobar emphysema, is a respiratory disease that occurs in infants when air enters the lungs and cannot leave easily. It results from cartilage deficiency and bronchomalacia causing distal air trapping and respiratory distress. In this study, we present a case of endobronchial polyp mimicking congenital lobar emphysema. Case presentati...

Polyphosphate (polyP), a polymer of orthophosphate moieties released from the dense granules of activated platelets, is a procoagulant agent. Inositol pyrophosphates, another group of phosphate-rich molecules, consist of mono- and diphosphates substituted on an inositol ring. Diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (IP7), the most abundant inositol pyrophosphate, is synthesized on phosphorylation o...

Polypectomy is the standard therapy for gastrointestinal pedunculated polyps [1]. However, achieving effective countertraction to snare the stalk of the polyp located in the direction of gravity can sometimes be difficult [2]. Herein, we present a case of a large gastric polyp located on the greater curvature of the gastric body that was resected using the “water immersion” technique in order t...

hairy encodes a bHLH repressor that regulates several developmental processes in Drosophila, including embryonic segmentation and neurogenesis. Segmentation repressors such as Krüppel and knirps have been shown to function over short distances, less than 50-100 bp, to inhibit or quench closely linked upstream activators. This mode of repression permits multiple enhancers to work independently o...

A method named "bag culture" was developed for coculturing of Linum persicum (section Syllinum) and L. austriacum (section Linum) hairy roots. For this propose L. austriacum and L. persicum hairy root cultures were established using Agrobacterium rhizogenes in McCown medium. L. persicum hairy roots in bags (1 mm2 mesh) were successfully grown together with L. austriacum hairy roots. The amounts...
