Abstract
BACKGROUND Plants are the prime source of vital secondary metabolites (SMs) which are medicinally important for drug development, and these secondary metabolites are often used by plants in the various important tasks like defense against herbivory, interspecies defenses and against different types of stresses. For humans, these secondary metabolites are important as medicines, pigments, flavorings and drugs. Because most of the pharmaceutical industries are highly dependent on medicinal plants and their extraction, these medicinal plants are getting endangered. MAIN BODY Plant cell culture technologies are introduced as a viable mechanism for producing and studying SMs of plants. Various types of in vitro strategies (elicitation, hairy root culture system, suspension culture system, etc.) have been considerably used for the improvement of the production of SMs of plants. For the enhancement of SM production, suspension culture and elicitation are mainly used, but hairy root culture and other organ cultures are proved to satisfy the demand of secondary metabolites. Now, it is easy to control and manipulate the pathways that produce the plant secondary metabolites. CONCLUSIONS Techniques like plant cell, tissue and organ cultures provide a valuable method for the production of medicinally significant SMs. In recent years, most of the in vitro strategies are used due to knowledge and regulation of SM pathway in commercially valuable plants. In future, these things will provide a valuable method to sustain the feasibility of medicinal plants as the renewable sources of medicinally important compounds, and these methods will provide successful production of desired, important, valuable and also unknown compounds.

Abstract
The open reading frame 8 (ORF8) is located on the TL-DNA of the phytopathogenic soil bacterium Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4. The predicted ORF8 protein has a particular structure and is possibly a natural fusion protein. The N-terminal domain shows homology to the A. rhizogenes rolB protein and may modulate the auxin responsiveness of host cells. The C terminus has up to 38% homology to tryptophan 2-monooxygenases (t2m). We show that ORF8 overexpressing plants contain a fivefold higher concentration of indole-3-acetamide (IAM) than untransformed plants. Protein extracts from seedlings and Escherichia coli overexpressing ORF8 show significantly higher turnover rates of tryptophan to IAM than negative controls. We conclude that the ORF8 gene product has tryptophan 2-monooxygenase activity.

Abstract
Agrobacterium rhizogenes causes hairy root disease in plants. The neoplastic roots produced by A. rhizogenes infection is characterized by high growth rate and genetic stability. These genetically transformed root cultures can produce higher levels of secondary metabolites or amounts comparable to that of intact plants. Hairy root cultures offer promise for production of valuable secondary metabolites in many plants. The main constraint for commercial exploitation of hairy root cultures is their scaling up, as there is a need for developing a specially designed bioreactor that permits the growth of interconnected tissues unevenly distributed throughout the vessel. Rheological characteristics of heterogeneous system should also be taken into consideration during mass scale culturing of hairy roots. Development of bioreactor models for hairy root cultures is still a recent phenomenon. It is also necessary to develop computer-aided models for different parameters such as oxygen consumption and excretion of product to the medium. Further, transformed roots are able to regenerate genetically stable plants as transgenics or clones. This property of rapid growth and high plantlet regeneration frequency allows clonal propagation of elite plants. In addition, the altered phenotype of hairy root regenerants (hairy root syndrome) is useful in plant breeding programs with plants of ornamental interest. In vitro transformation and regeneration from hairy roots facilitates application of biotechnology to tree species. The ability to manipulate trees at a cellular and molecular level shows great potential for clonal propagation and genetic improvement. Transgenic root system offers tremendous potential for introducing additional genes along with the Ri T-DNA genes for alteration of metabolic pathways and production of useful metabolites or compounds of interest. This article discusses various applications and perspectives of hairy root cultures and the recent progress achieved with respect to transformation of plants using A. rhizogenes.

Abstract
The detailed status of the transcription of genes on pRil724 T-DNA in two independent hairy root lines of the plant Ajuga reptans, Ar-4 and Ar-24, which have several different characteristics, was obtained by Northern blotting and a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. In the Northern blotting analysis DNA fragments corresponding to the putative open reading frames (ORFs) as probes, transcripts from putative ORFs 10 (1724rolA), 11 (1724rolB), 12 (1724rolC), 13a and 14, which are homologs to each ORF on pRiA4, were detected in both hairy root lines, whereas no transcripts derived from ORF 13 were detected. The transcription of ORF 13 was, however, detected in the RT-PCR analysis, suggesting a minor expression of ORF 13. All of the putative ORFs were transcribed with their expected directions, since DNA fragments were amplified when the antisense primers were employed in the reverse transcription. We also found that different transcripts with a reverse direction were present at the locations of 1724rolA, 1724rolC and ORF 13a, because the DNA fragments were amplified from the templates when their sense primers were used in the reverse transcription.

Abstract
This study tested the morphogenetic potential of 15 open reading frames of the TL-DNA of Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain HRI. These open reading frames were expressed individually under the control of the 35S RNA promoter in transgenic tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Expression of three T-DNA loci, ORF3n, ORF8 and ORF13, alters plant morphogenesis or the response of transgenic tissues to plant hormones. ORF3n transgenic plants are characterized by retarded flowering, altered internode elongation, altered leaf shape and, in particular, leaf tip necrosis. ORF3n and ORF8 expression reduces the sensitivity to auxin and cytokinin in combination or auxin alone. Tetracycline-dependent expression of ORF13 overcomes a selection of low levels of expression during plant regeneration and reveals a strong inhibitory effect of the ORF13 gene product on cell division and cell elongation. We conclude that the A. rhizogenes TL-DNA harbors genetic information that is important for pathogenicity apart from the well studied rol genes. We propose that these genes play mainly a negative regulatory role during pathogenesis. Moreover, these loci might be relevant to successful infections in specific host plants.

Abstract
The TB regions of the Agrobacterium vitis octopine/cucumopine Ti plasmids constitute a family of related structures. All contain a bacterial insertion element downstream of the TB-iaaM gene, IS870.1. Whereas 43 isolates with octopine/cucumopine Ti plasmids carry only one IS870 copy, strain Ag57 carries a second copy (IS870.2) 3.9 kb to the right of IS870.1 and part of the same TB region. Two other octopine/cucumopine strains carry an IS870 copy on their chromosome (IS870.3). A study of the unmodified insertion sites of IS870.2 and IS870.3, cloned from closely related strains, enabled us to delimit the IS870 elements. IS870 has a size of 1,152 bp and is terminated by inverted repeats. It contains a large open reading frame without a stop codon. However, a stop codon is generated by insertion into the target sequence 5'-CTAG-3'. IS870 is related to five other insertion sequence elements. For two of these, the stop codon of the largest open reading frame is also created by insertion into a CTAG target site.

Abstract
The Dutch potato cultivar Bintje has been transformed by Agrobacterium strain LBA1060KG, which contains two plasmids carrying three different DNAs (TL- and TR-DNA on the Agrobacterium rhizogenes plasmid and TKG-DNA on the pBI121 plasmid). Several transformed root clones were obtained after transformation of leaf, stem, and tuber segments, and plants were then regenerated from these root clones. The expression of the various marker genes [rol, opine, β-glucuronidase (GUS), and neomycin phosphotransferase (NPTII)] was determined in several root clones and in regenerated plants. The selection of vigorously growing root clones was as efficient as selection for kanamycin resistance. In spite of the location of NPTII and GUS genes on the same T-DNA, 17% of the root clones did not show GUS activity. Nevertheless, Southern blot analysis showed that these root clones contained at least three copies of the GUS gene. Sixty-four per cent of the root clones contained opines. The expression of these genes, however, was negatively correlated with plant regeneration capacity and normal plant development. The differential expression of the marker genes in the transgenic potato tissues is discussed.

Abstract
The regulation in tobacco of the rolB and rolC promoters of Agrobacterium rhizogenes pRi 1855 TL-DNA was studied by using the beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter system in transgenic plants. A 20- to 100-fold increase of GUS activity was selectively induced by auxin in rolB-GUS transformed mesophyll protoplasts, whereas this auxin-dependent increase was only 5-fold in rolC-GUS protoplasts. Moreover, both gene fusions exhibited similar tissue-specific expression in aerial parts but different patterns in roots. The spatial pattern of rolB-GUS expression could be strongly modified by the addition of exogenous auxin, further suggesting that auxin plays a central role in the regulation of the rolB promoter in tobacco. The tissue-specific and auxin-dependent regulation of the rolB promoter is discussed in relation to the effects of the rolB gene on rhizogenesis and on cellular responses to auxin.

Abstract
The recently described pathogenic plasmid from Agrobacterium rhizogenes 2659 induces "hairy root" proliferation in infected plants which synthesize a new opine type, provisionally called cucumopine. The T-DNA restriction site map of 2659 differs from other pRi T-DNAs, i.e., mannopine and agropine. However all these three different T-DNAs have a similar organization as detected through hybridization. This, previously shown by our cross-hybridization studies between mannopine and agropine pRi T-DNAs, is here extended to the cucumopine pRi T-DNA; each of the three pRi T-DNA is composed of successive DNA regions that would find actual counterparts in the two other T-DNAs. Equivalence of DNA regions is suggested by their similar length, location and organization in the three T-DNAs and by their sequence homology substantial enough to be reproducibly cross-hybridized in all our experiments. This suggests that the three pRi T-DNAs share most of their functions. This was sought by analysing the pRi 2659 T-DNA gene expression in transformed plant tissues. The mRNA species observed in pRi 2659 carrot hairy roots of in vitro cultures give a pattern that is rather unvariable and resembles those described for some agropine type pRi transformant tissues. This transcript pattern is consistent with the preservation in the pRi 2659 T-DNA of counterparts of most of the open reading frames detected in the TL-DNA of agropine type pRis.

Abstract
Analysis of published sequences for Ri TL-DNA (root-inducing left-hand transferred DNA) of Agrobacterium rhizogenes revealed several unsuspected structural features. First, Ri TL-DNA genes are redundant. Using redundancy as a criterion, three regions (left, middle and right) were discerned. The left one, ORFs (open reading frames) 1-7, contains no detectable redundancy. In the middle region a highly diverged gene family was detected in ORFs 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14. The right region contains an apparently recent duplication (ORF 15 =18+17). We interpret the phenomenon of redundancy, particularly in the central region that encodes the transformed phenotype, to be an adaptation that ensures function in a variety of host species. Comparison of Ri TL-DNA and Ti T-DNAs from Agrobacterium tumefaciens revealed common structures, unpredicted by previous nucleic acid hybridization studies. Ri TL-DNA ORF 8 is a diverged Ti T-DNA tms1. Both Agrobacterium genes consist of a member of the diverged gene family detected in the central part of the Ri TL-DNA, but fused to a sequence similar to iaaM of Pseudomonas savastonoi. Other members of this gene family were found scattered throughout Ti T-DNA. We argue that the central region of Ri and the part of Ti T-DNA including ORFs 5-10 evolved from a common ancestor. We present the hypothesis that the gene family encodes functions that alter developmental plasticity in higher plants.

Abstract
Plants containing the left T-DNA (TL) of Agrobacterium rhizogenes show a variety of developmental abnormalities that include severely wrinkled leaves, loss of apical dominance, reduced geotropism of roots, reduced internode distances, and floral hyperstyly. The TL-DNA also affects the morphology of tumor tissue at the site of inoculation on Kalanchoe diagremontiana leaves. Single mutations at four loci of the TL-DNA (rolA, rolB, rolC, and rolD) are known to affect tumor morphology on K. diagremontiana leaves. We regenerated plants from tissues transformed with TL-DNA containing mutations in each of the rol loci in order to determine which of the rol loci, if any, control the abnormal plant phenotype. Only plants regenerated after infection with bacteria containing a mutation in rolA locus showed loss of the wrinkled leaf phenotype. The rolA locus was cloned into the plant transformation vector pGA472 and introduced alone into plants. Transgenic plants containing rolA displayed the abnormal phenotype. These results indicate that rolA is the primary determinant of the severely wrinkled phenotype of Ri plasmid transgenic plants. Other rol loci may influence the degree of developmental abnormalities.

Abstract
Agrobacterium rhizogenes, a pathogenic bacterium determining for hairy-root tumors in plants, acts by insertion of a fragment (T-DNA) of its Ri plasmid into the plant nuclear DNA. Two A. rhizogenes strains, pRi 1855 and pRi 8196, responsible for similar disease symptoms, differ when compared at the structural level. However, some morphogenetic loci previously identified by insertion mutagenesis in either one of the two T-DNAs seem physiologically equivalent. The possibility that these morphogenetic loci are structurally similar was tested by cross-hybridization studies. Our data allow establishment of an unequivocal correspondence between the two T-DNA maps where apparently equivalent morphogenic loci occupy similar positions which suggests that the observed structural homologies also reflect physiological similarities between both T-DNAs.
