Tropane alkaloids in the adventitious and hairy root cultures of solanaceous plants
1991
Shimomura, K. | Sauerwein, M. | Ishimaru, K.
Adventitious and hairy root cultures of several solanaceous plant species were established. The highest content of tropane alkaloids was obtained in the adventitious roots of Hyoscyamus albus cultured in hormone-free 1/2 MS liquid medium. On the other hand the hairy roots of H. albus transformed with A. rhizogenes strain MAFF 03-01724 grew very fast and yielded over 5 mg/100 ml flask of hyoscyamine within 22 days of culture. The alkaloid content in the hairy roots of H. niger was higher than that of its adventitious roots. 7 beta-Hydroxyhyoscyamine, recently isolated, was produced in the hairy roots of Scopolia tangutica and Datura innoxia, while it could not be detected in their adventitious root cultures.
