Biotechnological Exploration of Transformed Root Culture for Value-Added Products

Hairy roots are useful tools for studying the biosynthesis of different plant-derived valuable compounds.Hairy roots could be preferred hosts when the desired compounds mainly accumulate in roots.Hairy roots are being considered as an alternative system to microbial hosts, including Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, for producing plant-derived natural secondary metabolites because they are more similar to the native host plant.Hairy...
