Objective: To induce hairy roots of Gynostemm apentaphyllum by Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains.
Methods: Hairy roots were induced by the co-culture method of explants and Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains. Effects of different Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains, explants, pre(co)-culture time, Bacterial concentration, infecting time, As concentration and antibiotic medium on the transformation frequency were studied.
Results: The highest induction frequency was obtained form leaf 2 days co-cultivation, which were induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes OD 600 0. 8 for 10 min, 100 micromol/L As and MS + 300 mg/L Cab.
Conclusion: Hairy roots were induced by co-cultivation and the optimum induced condition were determined.

Long-term cultured calli may experience a biosynthetic shift due to the IAA-dependent expression of the rolA gene, which also affects ROS metabolism. The "hairy root" syndrome is caused by the root-inducing Ri-plasmid of Rhizobium rhizogenes, also known as Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The Ri-plasmid contains genes known as rol genes or root oncogenic loci, which promote root development.

Plants are rich sources of specialized metabolites, such as alkaloids, terpenes, phenolic acids, flavonoids, coumarins, and volatile oils, which provide various health benefits including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiaging, skin-altering, and anti-diabetic properties. However, challenges such as low and inconsistent yields, environment and geographic factors, and species-specific production of some specialized metabolites limit the supply of raw plant material for the food, cosmetic, or pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, biotechnological approaches using plant in vitro systems offer an appealing alternative for the production of biologically active metabolites.

Plant genetic transformation is essential for understanding gene functions and developing improved crop varieties. Traditional methods, often genotype-dependent, are limited by plants' recalcitrance to gene delivery and low regeneration capacity. To overcome these limitations, new approaches have emerged that greatly improve efficiency and genotype flexibility.

is a ruderal plant species growing along roadsides and well adapting to extreme environmental conditions. plant tissues, especially leaves, are known to be a rich source of bioactive metabolites which have antioxidant, cytotoxic, antiproliferative and anticancer properties. Hairy root cultures are a suitable biotechnological system for investigating plant metabolic pathways and producing specialized metabolites in in vitro conditions.
