Abstract “Hairy root” systems, obtained by transforming plant tissues with the “natural genetic
engineer” Agrobacterium rhizogenes, have been known for more than three decades. To …

In vitro plant cell and organ cultures are appealing alternatives to traditional methods of
producing valuable specialized metabolites for use as: pharmaceuticals, food additives …

Agrobacterium rhizogenes is the etiological agent for hairy-root disease (also known as root-
mat disease). This bacterium induces the neoplastic growth of plant cells that differentiate to …

For non‐model plants, functional characterization of genes is still hampered by lack of
efficient stable transformation procedures. Here, we report a simple, fast and efficient …
