Springer - Hairy Roots: An Effective Tool of Plant Biotechnology

As the demand for plant-based chemicals for industrial use grows, finding efficient production methods becomes a top priority for researchers and scientists. Hairy Roots: An Effective Tool of Plant Biotechnology by Springer provides a deep look into one of the most feasible strategies for meeting these production needs. This book focuses on the development of Agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated hairy root cultures (HRCs). It explores how these cultures serve as a practical approach for various scientific applications. Readers will learn about the potential of HRCs in the plant-based remediation of environmental pollutants and the biotransformation of important compounds. By examining proof-of-principle experiments, this text covers the practical feasibility of using hairy root cultures for the production of therapeutic compounds. It is an essential resource for those studying biological sciences and plant biotechnology, offering insights into how these specialized cultures can be used to solve modern industrial and environmental challenges.
