Abstract
Five different strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes differed in their ability to induce peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) hairy roots and also showed varying effects on the growth and resveratrol production in hairy root cultures. A. rhizogenes R1601 is the most effective strain for the induction (75.8%), growth (7.6 g/l) and resveratrol production (1.5 mg/g) in hairy root of peanut. Our results demonstrate that the use of suitable strains of A. rhizogenes may allow study of the regulation of resveratrol biosynthesis in hairy root cultures of A. hypogaea.
Key words: Arachis hypogaea L., Agrobacterium rhizogenes, hairy root, peanut, resveratrol.
