“…Tobacco hairy roots are able to remove phenol from solutions with its increasing concentrations (100-800 mg l -1 ) [15]. However, Brassica napus hairy roots were able to remove phenol concentrations up to 500 mg l -1 , in the presence of H 2 O 2 , reaching high removal efficiency, within 1 h of the treatment and over a wide range of pH (4-9) [10]. Therefore, the variation in growth increment was disinguishable not only between the two examined lettuce cultivars, but also among different lines of the same cultivar.…”

“…Shih and Doran [9] demonstrated that hairy root is a feasible mean for in vitro propagation of plant virus, epitope vaccines and foreign proteins. Also, hairy root has a significant role in phytoremediation, a process that can remove or reduce the concentration of toxic organic and inorganic pollutants in soil, water and industrial effluents [7,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] (Figure 1). …”

Hairy root cultures of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) were obtained by inoculation of cotyledonary leaves of in vitro lettuce seedlings (cvs. Nansen and Ljubljanska ledenka) with Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4M70GUS. Approximately in 96.7% cvs. Nansen and in 91.2% Ljubljanska ledenka inoculated explants produced hairy root when they were incubated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) half-strength medium without plant growth regulators. A total of 54% of all hairy root cultures expressed GUS activity. Every hairy root represented an independent transformation event. Line Ljubljanska ledenka 18 showed the highest biomass (5.5 times the biomass of control root). A PCR analysis of the genomic DNA confirmed the presence of marker and target genes in 15 hairy roots examined.

Environmental pollution caused by natural processes or anthropogenic activities is a major global problem. Although several physical and chemical strategies have been used for environmental remediation, these methods are expensive and associated with certain limitations. Phytoremediation is an alternative, biological approach where different plant species are used for the removal of pollutants from the environment or for converting toxic molecules to non toxic forms. Both organic and inorganic compounds of various types are the targets of phytoremediation. The technique is cheaper than other established methods and has several advantages like soil stabilization, production of biofuels, non invasiveness etc. Plants readily absorb certain compounds, otherwise considered contaminants, through the root system and utilize for their normal growth and development. Hairy roots of plants are among the several experimental systems which have been employed to improve the effi ciency of phytoremediation. Hairy root disease, characterized by a massive production of adventitious roots with numerous root hairs at the wound site, is caused by Agrobacterium rhizogenes , a gram negative soil bacterium. The bacterium transfers a segment (the transferred DNA or T-DNA) of its root inducing (Ri) megaplasmid into the plant genome, modifying the normal hormonal metabolism of the plant; this hormonal imbalance induces the formation of hairy roots at the site of infection. Apart from being suitable for the production of a wide array of valuable secondary metabolites, hairy roots possess tremendous potential for phytoremediation. Hairy roots of different plant species have been investigated for the accumulation and biodegradation of hazardous compounds. The present review summarizes the role of plant hairy roots in phytoremediation research.

“…This may represent their utilization by enhanced phytomicrobial association in the rhizosphere. The detoxifying effect is due to the presence of oxidoreductive enzymes in plants and particularly in roots, with a high production of the enzyme in response to chemical stress (Hirata et al, 2000), localized mainly in cell walls and vacuoles (Coniglio et al, 2008). This enhanced hydrocarbon degradation, producing carbon, water and carbondioxide in presence of phosphorus, nitrogen nutrient and other environmental variables.…”

Evaluation of phytoremediation potential ofABSTRACT: An ecological study was carried out to evaluate remediation potential of three hydrocarbon tolerant species (Peltophorum pterocarpum (DC.) Heyne, Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) De Wit., and Crotolaria retusa Linn) of Fabaceae plant family in relation to enzyme activity for cleaning up soils contaminated with waste oil hydrocarbon. Biochemical analyses were carried out using classical standard procedures to assess the level of enzyme expression in relation to hydrocarbon index assessment in remediation performance through a holistic test of significance using the PROC ANOVA and Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) procedures. Enzyme expression, oil removal and organic carbon sequestration of the species and the species treated soils showed that in pre-polluted soil foliar enzyme expression in the order Cr>Ll>Pp was high but reduction in post-polluted and post-phytoremediation soils in the order Cr>Ll>Pp. Generally, among species Peroxidase (POD) was higher in activity and expression than Polyphenoloxidase (PPO). The oil and grease recorded a lower content in the pre-pollution soil which increased in content in post-pollution with increase in pollution. However, the impact of phytoapplication has shown some significant (p<0.05) reduction in L. leucocephala soil in the order LlPp>Cr at low enzyme expression in which P. pterocarpum had higher carbon content in the order Pp>Cr> Ll. The pre-pollution soil had a significantly lower carbon than post-polluted soils. The impact of phytoremediation has shown reduction in carbon content with P. pterocarpum treated soil significantly lower in content in the order PpCr> Ll. Thus by the forgoing trajectories and trend of indigenous enzymes, P. pterocarpum and L. leucocephala can thus be recommended as an integral component in any bioremediation technology package for waste oil polluted terrestrial environment.© JASEM http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/jasem.v20i3.22
