Abstract
Cultured hairy root lines resulting from infection by Agrobacterium rhizogenes are known for approximately thirty plant species. We extend this range by establishing forty original dicotyledonous hairy root lines with A. rhizogenes strain A4. Hairy roots have been cultured for at least 2–6 years on Murashige & Skoog medium. Some hairy root cultures such as Anagallis arvensis and Antirrhinum majus spontaneously regenerated whole plants.
