Published: August 2003

This study investigated the effects of flask-to-liquid volume ratio on the growth of Panax ginseng hairy root, transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogenes, in flask cultures and compared the characteristics of various bioreactors for scale-up. The flask-to-liquid volume ratio was optimum at 1.5 mL of air/mL of medium in flask cultures, and hairy root growth was not affected above the optimum ratio. In 500-mL flask culture, hairy root showed two growth phases. After the first exponential growth, specific growth rate decreased. The growth characteristics of P. ginseng hairy root in various bioreactors were investigated. Hairy root growth was about 55- fold of inoculum after 39 d in a 5-L bioreactor and about 38-fold of inoculum after 40 d in a 19-L bioreactor. Carbon yield was higher in a 19-L bioreactor than in others, but it did not show any linear relationship to the growth rate of hairy roots in bioreactors.

Hairy roots mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes can be obtained from the composite plants (plants with hairy roots and untransformed aerial parts) by ex vitro method. Composite plants can produce higher amounts of secondary metabolites by merging hydroponic systems. This provides a stable condition for composite plants, in which various metabolites are produced in different parts.

Hairy-root transformation is widely used to generate transgenic plant roots for genetic functional characterisation studies. However, transformation efficiency can be limited, largely due to the use of binary vectors. Here, we report on the development of novel integrative vectors that significantly increase the transformation efficiency of hairy roots.
