Plants generally produce secondary metabolites in nature as a defense mechanism against pathogenic and insect attack. In this study, we applied several abiotic elicitors in order to enhance growth and ginseng saponin biosynthesis in the hairy roots of P. ginseng. Generally, elicitor treatments were found to inhibit the growth of the hairy roots, although simultaneously enhancing ginseng saponin biosynthesis. The addition of selenium at inoculum time did not significantly affect ginseng saponin biosynthesis. However, when 0.5 mM selenium was added as an elicitor after 21 days of culture, ginseng saponin content and productivity increased to about 1.31 and 1.33 times control levels, respectively. These results suggest that processing time for the generation of ginseng saponin in a hairy root culture can be reduced via the application of an elicitor.

Two new compounds lanast-5,8-dien-3β-ol-27-oic acid-3β-D-glucopyranosyl (4'-1'')-10'',11''-dimethoxy anthracene (1), 2-methoxy-6-(n-nonacontan-5'',6''-dionyl)-11-hydroxy-13-methyl-11β-D-rhamnopyranoside anthracene (2) have been isolated from the hairy root cultures of Catharanthus roseus. Their structures have been elucidated with the help of 500 MHz NMR using one- and two-dimensional NMR in combination with IR, EI/MS, FAB/MS and HRFABMS spectroscopy.

During culture the effect of polyamine on hairy root of Buplerum falcatum by infection of Agrobacterium rhizogenes was studied. The fresh and dry weight of hairy root which cultured for 3months in MS medium increased about 7-fold when spermine at 10${\mu}$M, 100${\mu}$M was treated. After suspension culture of B. falcatum in MS medium containing putrescine(10${\mu}$M, 100${\mu}$M) or spermine(10${\mu}$M), the contents of endogenous polyamine (putresclne, spermidine, spermine) was higher than that of control. The ${\beta}$-glucan synthetase II activity by polyamine treatment was increased： especially spermidine (100${\mu}$M) and spermine(100${\mu}$M) stimulated it by about 180% and 220% respectively. These results suggest a possible role of polyamine as growth regulator in B. falcatum hairy root cultures.

This study was carried out to obtain the information for growth characteristics of crown gall tumor and hairy root transformed by Agrobacterium spp,. on the media with phytohormones, casein hydrolysate and activated charoal. Crown gall tumors and hairly roots were formed respectively on potato tuber discs infected by tumerfaciens A ch 5 and A.rhizogenes ATCC15834. These tumors and roots could be grown on the phytohormone free media. PCR analysis of Rol C and Vir C gene fragments confirmed that crown gall root was prompted on the medium containing 2,4-D 2mg/l with casein hydrolysate lg/l. The survival ration of crown gall tumor callus derived from potato increased on medium containing the activated charcoal 0.5∼0.2mg/l because of the prevention, on the other hand, hairly roots were necrosis on the same medium. Callus derived from hairly root were excellently grown for a short time by suspension culture on liquid medium containing 2.4-d 2mg/L and casein hydrolysate lg/l.

A hairy root clone of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, HRB-15 was cultured iu various conditions with 3 L bubble type bioreactor to enhance both growth and ginsenoside production. The hairy roots were more rapidly grown under the dark condition than under the light condition. However, total amount of ginsenoside of hairy roots cultured under the light for 30 days increased 2 folds as compared with the dark condition and was 1.10% based on 6 ginsenosides. Especially, ginsenoside-Re was significantly increased and some ginsenosides except for ginsenoside-Re was slightly reduced. Also, the growth of hairy roots decreased about 30% as compared with the dark condition. In contrast, addition of sodium acetate led to decreased production of ginsenoside and growth of hairy roots under light condition. The influence of potassium dihydrogenphosphate concentration was examined in MS medium and a 1.25 mM concentration was found to be the most appropriate for growth and ginsenoside production under light condition. Two-step process of hairy roots culture with yeast elicitation or without ammonia in culture medium was developed to enhance growth and giusenoside synthesis. $50\;\mu\textrm{g}$ of yeast elicitor per g of fresh weight showed a synergistic effect on the ginsenoside synthesis of hairy roots on 20 days after culture. At that time, the content of total ginsenoside was 1.15%, while the growth of hairy roots decreased 21 % as compared with the dark condition. In addition, when elimination of ammonia on 20 days after culture, the content of total ginsenoside was 1.26% with significant increment of ginsenoside-Rd (0.27%) in addition to ginsenoside-Re and the growth of hairy roots decreased 10% as compared with the dark condition. In this system, we have demonstrated a unique two-step process of hairy root cultures to maximize biomass and secondary metabolites. It has found possibility to enhance ginsenosides production by growing hairy roots in this method.

An accurate and efficient method for measuring the mass of hairy roots using conductometry is established. A conductivity equation expressed in terms of the concentration of the ion species in the medium is suggested. By using this equation, the effect of the individual ions on the total conductivity can be quantitatively analyzed. An equation for the in situ estimation of the cell growth coefficient for determining the mass of hairy roots is established based on measurements of the nitrogen concentration and conductivity during cultivation. The proposed equation does not require preliminary experiments to determine the cell growth coefficient. Instead, the physiological characteristics of the plant species are reflected by introducing the cellular nitrogen content. Since the cell growth coefficient is determined by measuring the major ionic nutrient concentrations, it is more effective to express the dynamics of an actual culture system. This improved method for determining the mass of hairy roots was successfully utilized in a fed-batch culture system.

The important component for medical effect in ginseng is ginsenoside. Korea Ginseng & Tobacco Research Institute contains approximately 200 lines produced by inbred selection. It is assumed that ginseng lines containing high level of ginsenoside should be included in those lines. Besides, new breeding methods such as cell line selection in vitro and hairy root were recently developed. Therefore, this study was carried out to detect genes related to ginsenoside, and to use it for selection marker to select and distribute lines containing high level of ginsenoside. DNA was extracted from both ginseng roots and hairy roots, and the difference between the line containing high ginsenoside(KG101) and normal ginsenoside(KG103) were analysed. As a result, 28 out of 36 primers showed bands, and many primers showed band difference between ginseng lines. It is considered that the bands should be analysed using DNA sequence comparison to check if those are related to ginsenoside. In case of hairy roots of ginseng, almost no differences were found between two lines.
