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.
