Modifications in gene expression and phenolic compounds content by methyl jasmonate and fungal elicitors in Ficus carica. Cv. Siah hairy root cultures.

Background: One of the most effective strategies to increase phytochemicals production in plant cultures is elicitation. In the present study, we studied the effect of abiotic and biotic elicitors on the growth, key biosynthetic genes expression, antioxidant capacity, and phenolic compounds content in Rhizobium (Agrobacterium) rhizogenes-induced hairy roots cultures of Ficus carica cv. Siah.

Piriformospora indica based elicitation for overproduction of phenolic compounds by hairy root cultures of Ficus carica.

Ficus carica L. is an important source of phenolic and flavonoid compounds with valuable pharmaceutical application across various diseases. The current study was carried out to investigate the influence of Piriformospora indica elicitation on growth, production of phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity, and expression level of flavonoid biosynthetic pathway genes in hairy root (HR) cultures of F.

Physiological, biochemical and gene-expressional responses to water deficit in apple subjected to partial root-zone drying (PRD).

Water scarcity is one of the major factors limiting apple production. Partial root-zone drying (PRD) is a water-saving irrigation technique necessary to improve the efficiency of irrigation techniques to optimize the amount of fruit produced with the volume of water used. The apple trees cv.

Agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated transformation of Ficus carica L. for the efficient production of secondary metabolites.

Background: Ficus carica L., an ancient source of food and medicines, is rich in valuable nutritional and secondary compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer effects. The present study is the first attempt to examine hairy root (HR) induction of F.

Podophyllotoxin and 6-methoxy podophyllotoxin Production in Hairy Root Cultures of Liunm mucronatum ssp. mucronatum.

Aim: Two bacterial strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes, A13 and 9534 were evaluated for induction of transformed hairy roots in Linum mucronatum ssp. mucronatum, a high value medicinal plant.

Materials And Methods: The hairy roots were successfully initiated, through infecting the hypocotyl and root explants and the A13 strain performed a high transformation frequency for hairy roots induction.
