Establishment of culture system of Vaccaria segetalis hairy roots and determination of vaccarin / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To establish the culture system of Vaccaria segetalis hairy roots. Methods: Agrobacterium rhizogenes R15834, R1601, R1000, and A4 were used to infect V. segetalis leaves to induce hairy roots and the influences of different physicochemical factors on its growth were investigated. The content of vaccarin was determined by HPLC. Results: A. rhizogenes R1601 had the highest induction rate by converted into V. segetalis leaves, The best growth cycle of cell suspension culture was defined when cultured in liquid MS medium with pH value of 6 and sucrose concentration of 3%, vaccarin in V. segetalis hairy roots was slightly higher than that in the seed. Conclusion: V. segetalis could successfully induce hairy roots, the foundation has been established for further oplimizing the proper cultural system for V. segetalis hairy roots and regulating the secondary metabolites.
