β¦ Synopsis
Hairy roots were obtained following inoculation of the stems of Lobelia inflata L. with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain ATCC 15834. These hairy roots contained agropine and mannopine. In addition, lobeline was detected by HPLC and confirmed by mass spectrometry. Various media were tested for the growth of hairy roots as well as for the content of lobeline in hairy roots. The growth rate of hairy roots cultured in Nitsch and Nitsch's medium was approximately one third of those cultured in other media. The lobeline content of hairy roots (18-54 ΞΌg/g dry weight) cultured in these media was the same order of magnitude compared with that of roots of L. inflata (24 ΞΌg/g dry weight) cultivated in pots. The hairy roots cultured in Nitsch and Nitsch's medium were morphologically different from those cultured in other media.

Hairy root cultures of Centranthus ruber DC. were established by infection of sterile plantlets with Agrobacterium rhizogenes, strain R1601. The transformed roots were grown in 12 different, hormone-free liquid media, and valtrate, isovaltrate, 7-desisovaleroyl-7-acetylvaltrate, 7-homovaltrate, didr
Marigold (Tagetes patula L.) hairy roots induced by infection with Agrobacterium rhizogenes produced Ξ±-terthienyl when grown in darkness, and an n-hexane extract of the roots showed nematocidal activity. Depending on the hairy root line used, the level of Ξ±-terthienyl varied from 15 to 1268 ΞΌg per g
