This document discusses hairy root cell culture. Hairy root culture involves infecting plant explants with the soil bacterium Agrobacterium rhizogenes, which transfers genes to the plant genome and causes roots to form with increased cell division and elongation, producing "hairy roots". Hairy roots have properties like genotype/phenotype stability, fast growth, and high production of secondary metabolites. The process involves wounding explants, inoculating with A. rhizogenes, inducing hairy roots within 1 week to 1 month, and subculturing in antibiotic media to remove bacteria. Hairy roots can be cultured in various bioreactors and have applications like gene analysis, protein expression, and secondary metabolite production.
