Root cluster section culture, showing high efficient Protocorm-like body (PLB) formation capacity, were established in Doritaenopsis hybrids. Three types of root were obtained from excised shoots in 1/2MS medium containing different concentrations of NAA; \circled1normal roots, \circled2multiple roots and \circled3abnormal root clusters. Those were placed on 1/2MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L thidiazuron for PLB regeneration. PLB regeneration rate was greater in root cluster section cultures (77.8%) compare to normal root tip cultures(30%). Number of PLBs regenerated from root cluster sections were counted over 11 per explant (5.3 per normal root tip).High frequency of PLB regeneration was achieved in root cluster section culture. This result can be used as an efficient method for clonal proliferation of Doritaenopsis hybrids.

The usage of wild ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) has been limited due to short supply and high price. Therefore, sufficient production as well as efficient extraction of mountain ginseng are required for the development as products. In this study, wild ginseng adventitious root cultures were prepared for efficient production with advantages of fast growth and stable production. Treatment of methyl jasmonate (MJ) to wild ginseng adventitious root cultures increased the extraction yield and antioxidative activity. Further investigation on effect of extraction conditions suggested the importance of ethanol concentration on antioxidative activity and extraction yield of MJ-treated wild ginseng adventitious root cultures. Optimized extraction condition of MJ-treated wild ginseng adventitious root cultures for maximum extraction yield and antioxidative activity was determined using response surface methodology with three-level-three-factor Box-Behnken design (BBD). Extraction of 1 g MJ-treated wild ginseng adventitious root culture with 30 ml of 9% ethanol at $30^{\circ}C$ produced 310.2 mg extract with 71.0% antioxidative activity at $100{\mu}g/ml$. Taken together, MJ-treated wild ginseng adventitious root culture is valuable source for wild ginseng usage and optimized extraction condition can be used for the development of functional products or folk remedies.

Medicinal plants are high-value natural resources that have been used as precautionary drugs by many people globally. The increasing global demand for bioactive compounds from medicinal plants has led to the overexploitation of many valuable species. One widely used approach to overcome this problem is the use of adventitious root cultures as a propagation strategy. This review examines the scientific research published globally on the application of adventitious root cultures for many medicinal plants. Adventitious roots generated under aseptic environments in suitable phytohormone-augmented medium exhibit high growth rates and production of important secondary metabolites. Parameters such as medium properties and composition, growth hormone type, and elicitation strategies for in vitro grown adventitious roots of medicinal plants, are the main topics discussed in this review. We also examine current developments in bioreactor system cultivation for plant bioactive compounds using adventitious root cultures, a technology with possible commercial applications, via several studies on adventitious root culture of medicinal plants in which bioreactor systems play a role. In conclusion, the development of adventitious root cultures for medicinal plants is highly useful because of their capability for vegetative propagation and germplasm preservation.

Hyoscyamus muticus의 phytoalexin으로 알려진 solavetivone, lubimin, rishitin 생합성에 결정적 역할을 담당하는 isoprenoid pathway의 첫 분지효소인 vetispiradiene synthase의 유도특성과 solavetivone, lubimin phytoalexin 생합성과의 관련성을 구명하기 위하여 H. muticus 현탁세포배양 및 모상근배양에 Rhizoctonia solani 추출액을 elicitor로 처리하였다. Elicitor을 처리하지 않은 현탁세포 및 모상근배양에서는 효소활성, 효소단백질 및 solavetivone, lubimin등이 전혀 검출되지 않았으나, elicitor을 처리한 세포에서는 효소활성이 급속히 유도되어 처리 12시간 후에 최고의 활성을 보였으며 그 후 점점 감소하였다. 효소활성의 정도는 면역반응을 이용하여 측정한 효소 단백질의 함량과 밀접한 상관관계를 보였으며, phytoalexin 총 함량은 모상근배양에서 2배이상 높았다. 특히 solavetivone 및 lubimin 생합성은 현탁 및 모상근배양에서 서로 다른 특이성을 보였는데, 현탁배양에서는 lubimin을, 모상근배양에서는 solavetivone을 선택적으로 다량 생산하였다.

Allium hookeri, a member of the onion family, has long been mainly cultivated for food and medicinal use in Southeast Asian countries, owing to its various biological properties. However, no studies of the anti-oxidative effects of fermented A. hookeri root extracts have been conducted to date. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of different starter cultures on the antioxidant activities of hot water extract of A. hookeri root by using the following five strains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterum longum, Enterococcus faecium, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity, total phenolic acid contents, and total antioxidant capacity were higher in the hot water extract of A. hookeri root fermented with starter cultures than those of A. hookeri root. Among hot water extract of A. hookeri root fermented with starter cultures, fementing with S. cerevisiae showed the highest antioxidant activities. The results of this study provide new evidence of the anti-oxidative properties of A. hookeri root with starter cultures, indicating that it may be highly valuable as a natural product owing to its high-quality functional components.

Agrobacterium rhizogenes, a gram-negative soil bacterium, is one of the most widely studied among them. A, rhizogenes can transfer T-DNA, excised from Ri (root inducing)-plasmids from the bacterial to the plant cell. It is the causal agent of 'hairy root' diseases in plants, and has been used for the production of hairy root cultures from a multitude of species. Five different strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes differed in their ability to induce Scutellaria baicalensis hairy roots and also showed varying effects on the growth in hairy root cultures. A. rhizogenes R 1000 is the most effective strain for the induction (57.3%) and growth (11.9 g $L^{-1}$) in hairy root of Scutellaria baicalensis. Our results demonstrate that use of suitable strains of A. rhizogenes may allow study of the regulation of flavone biosynthesis in hairy root cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis.

Hyoscyamine and scopolamine are the pharmaceutically valuable anticholinergic drugs. The aim of our study is to increase the contents of both hyoscyamine and scopolamine by means of elicitation. Various biotic elicitors derived from 3 fungi and 1 yeast were inoculated to the hairy root cultures. When homogenate and supernatant of elicitors treated with hairy root cultures, that of yeast elicitor was only increased scopolamine production. However, all of the fungal elicitors did not influenced the productions of scopolamine and hyoscyamine. Our results will contribute to mass production of tropane alkaloids by hairy root cultures of Scopolia parviflora.

We established hairy root cultures of F. esculentum transformed with A. rhizogenes for in vitro rutin production. Additionally, we describe the effects of different media and plant growth regulators on growth and rutin biosynthesis in buckwheat hairy root cultures. Excised leaves of P. tinctorium from 10-day-old seedlings were used as the explant material for co-cultivation with A. rhizogenes 15834. The hairy culture of Fagopyrum esculentum Moench. was established by infecting leaf explants with Agrobacterium rhizogenes 15834. About four to five weeks after co-cultivation with A. rhizogenes, 10 hairy roots were excised from the necrotic explant tissues. After repeated transfer to fresh medium for three months, ten clones were transferred to MS liquid culture medium. The growth and rutin production of each clone differently response to the MS liquid medium. Among these clones, H8, which had exhibited good growth rate and one of the highest rutin productivity, was selected for the following experimment.(중략)

Cruciferous vegetables are rich in biologically active compounds such as glucosinolates and have various health benefits. Among these vegetables, Kimchi cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. Pekinensis) is one of the most popular leafy vegetables due to the presence of the highest amounts of numerous vital phytonutrients, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. This study aims to investigate the effects of six cultivars (Chundong 102, Asia No Rang Mini, Hwimori Gold, Asia Seoul, Wol Dong Chun Chae, and Asia Bbu Ri) on hairy root induction and glucosinolate biosynthesis in the hairy root cultures of Kimchi cabbage. Seven different glucosinolates, in this case sinigrin, gluconapin, glucoerucin, glucobrassicin, 4-methoxyglucobrassicin, gluconasturtiin, and neoglucobrassicin, were detected in the hairy root cultures of Kimchi cabbage. Among the different cultivars, Asia No Rang Mini was the most promising candidate for hairy root stimulation, as it achieved the highest values for the growth rate, root number, root length, transformation efficiency, and total glucosinolate content. Overall, the Asia No Rang Mini cultivar of Kimchi cabbage performed best as a promising cultivar hairy root culture for glucosinolate production.
