Abstract
Due to their fast growth rates and biochemical stability, 'hairy root' cultures remain unsurpassed as the choice for model root systems and have promise as a bioprocessing system. Applications are wide-ranging, from the production of natural products and foreign proteins to a model for phytoremediation of organic and metal contaminants. Hairy roots will have a continuing role as an experimental model in plant metabolic engineering.Entities:
