Preface
Natural compounds derived from plants are in high demand in the world market due to their lesser side effects and many other advantages. Biotechnology, by employing various in vitro techniques, including hairy root culture, provides an important alternative for stable and large-scale production of plant-derived natural compounds. The purpose of this book is to provide the latest information about hairy root culture and its applications, with special emphasis on the potential of hairy roots for the production of bioactive compounds. Due to high growth rate as well as biochemical and genetic stability, it is quite possible to study the metabolic pathways related to the production of bioactive compounds using hairy root culture. The chapters will discuss about the feasibility/potential of hairy roots for plant-derived natural compounds. The advantages and difficulties of hairy roots for up-scaling studies in bioreactors are also included. Successful examples of hairy root culture of plant species producing bio
