The objective of the study was to scale up the production of phenyl propanoid glycosides in Artanema sesamoides Benth by inducing hairy roots using Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The explants for the Agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated transformation were obtained from the in vitro raised seedlings of A. sesamoides. Seeds collected from AMPRS, Odakkali were germinated in basal Murashige and Skoog (MS) and half MS media. Maximum seed germination was observed in basal MS medium with 94 per cent seed germination. Hundred per cent multiple shoot induction was observed in basal MS medium and in MS medium supplemented with Benzyladenine (BA) 0.1 mg L-1 using node as explant. Maximum number of shoots (21 nos) per explant was seen with BA 0.1 mg L-1. Addition of BA at >0.2 mg L-1 resulted in green undifferentiated mass of cells. Callus induction was tried in explants like node, leaf and root in basal MS medium supplemented with combinations of growth regulators like BA, NAA, IAA and 2,4-D. Node and root produced calli in combinations of BA with NAA or IAA and their response was better compared to leaf. MS medium supplemented with 2, 4-D or BA did not produce any callus. Hairy root induction in A. sesamoides was attempted with A. rhizogenes strains, MTCC 2364, MTCC 532 and ATCC 15834. A. sesamoides callus was found insensitive to cefotaxime (bacteriostatic agent) upto 500 mg L-1. Among the different explants tried for hairy root induction, calli infected with MTCC 2364 (Infection for 15 and 20 minutes and co-cultivation period of 48 h) and MTCC 532 (Infection for 15, 20 and 30 minutes and co-cultivation period of 48 h) showed 100% survival on MS medium supplemented with cefotaxime (200 mg L- 1 ). They also showed regeneration to produce shoots and roots in two weeks. No hairy root formation was observed in any of the treatments. The in vitro roots obtained were analysed for the presence of rol gene using PCR and no amplification was found. Phenyl propanoid glycosides were quantified using HPLC with the help of class LC 10 software (Shimadzu, Japan) with PDA detector. Peaks related to acteoside, artanemoside A, isoacteoside, leucoseptoside A and martynoside were identified and quantified from roots of field grown (in vivo) plants, in vitro roots and callus. Callus showed the highest quantity of all the five phenyl propanoid glycosides, followed by in vivo roots and in vitro roots. Economics analysis showed that the cost of production per gram dry weight of the callus was found to be less compared to that of in vivo roots. Since phenyl propanoid glycosides content in the callus is more than the in vivo root, large scale production of the compound is economically feasible in in vitro conditions. In the present study, in vitro multiplication of A. sesamoides is reported for the first time. Hairy roots could not be produced in this study, which may be due to the non virulence of the A. rhizogenes strains used or the presence of inhibitory substances in the explant, which needs further investigation. Increased phenyl propanoid glycosides content in callus indicates the scope of using an in vitro system for the continuous production of these compounds UR - http://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in/handle/1/5810145855 ER -
