During Agrobacterium rhizogenes–plant interaction, the rolB gene is transferred into the plant genome and is stably inherited in the plant’s offspring. Among the numerous effects of rolB on plant metabolism, including the activation of se...
We investigated the effect of Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation mof rolB on adventitious root development and endogenous hormones in ‘duli’ (Pyrus betulaefolia) via transcriptomic analysis of wild-type (WT) and rolB-transfo...
Aristolochia manshuriensis is a relic liana, which is widely used in traditional Chinese herbal medicine and is endemic to the Manchurian floristic region. Since this plant is rare and slow-growing, alternative sources of its valuable compounds could...
A variety of plant species found in nature contain agrobacterial T-DNAs in their genomes which they transmit in a series of sexual generations. Such T-DNAs are called cellular T-DNAs (cT-DNAs). cT-DNAs have been discovered in dozens of plant genera,...
Ipomoea batatas is a vital root crop and a source of caffeoylquinic acid derivatives (CQAs) with potential health-promoting benefits. As a naturally transgenic plant, I. batatas contains cellular T-DNA (cT-DNA) sequence homologs of the Agrobacterium...
Herbal and traditional medicines can play a pivotal role in combating cancer and neglected tropical diseases. Ajuga bracteosa, family Lamiaceae, is an important medicinal plant. The genetic transformation of A. bracteosa with rol genes of Agrobacteri...
Kalanchoë gastonis-bonnieri Raym.-Hamet & Perrier is a plant used for medicinal purposes in the treatment of several ailments. The aim of this study was to analyze the chemical profile of extracts from K. gastonis-bonnieri embryogenic calli,...
Dittrichia viscosa is a ruderal plant species growing along roadsides and well adapting to extreme environmental conditions. D. viscosa plant tissues, especially leaves, are known to be a rich source of bioactive metabolites which have antioxidant, c...
Leishmaniasis is a complex disease caused by infection with different Leishmania parasites. The number of medications used for its treatment is still limited and the discovery of new drugs is a valuable approach. In this context, here we describe the...
Various strategies have been used to increase the efficiency of secondary metabolite production in Salvia plants. This report is the first to examine the spontaneous development of Salvia bulleyana shoots transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogenes on ha...
People have used carnivorous plants of the genus Sarracenia in folk medicine for centuries due to the biochemical composition of Sarracenia plants, which are rich in numerous bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral and anti...
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a globally important crop and one of a growing number of plants recognized as naturally transgenic, harboring Agrobacterium-derived T-DNA genes whose functions remain largely uncharacterized. In this proof-of-concept...
Previous efforts to transform lentil have been considerably hampered by the crop’s recalcitrant nature, giving rise to particularly low transformation and regeneration frequencies. This study aimed at optimizing an Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated t...
The capability of the soil bacterium Agrobacterium rhizogenes to reprogram plant development and induce adventitious hairy roots relies on the expression of a few root-inducing genes (rol A, B, C and D), which can be transferred from large virulence...
The flavonoids in Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels et Gilg (T. hemsleyanum) have high medicinal value. However, because of slow growth and harsh ecological environments, T. hemsleyanum is currently an endangered species. In light of this, we present a d...
In Arctic regions, ship structures face low temperatures, overloads, thickness effects, and fluctuating stress ratios, which significantly influence the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of marine steels. This study investigates the FCG behaviors o...
Aluminum alloys, serving as critical structural materials in the aviation and aerospace industry, frequently endure variable amplitude loading under complex service conditions. The resulting non-steady-state crack propagation behavior directly impact...
This study reports the first successful establishment of Perovskia atriplicifolia hairy root cultures using Rhizobium rhizogenes and evaluates their potential for bioactive phenolic acid production, particularly rosmarinic acid (RA). Hairy roots were...
