High stability of the production of secondary metabolites is an interesting characteristic of
hairy root cultures. For 25 years, hairy roots have been investigated as a biological system …

Plants are a rich source of valuable secondary metabolites. Plant cell culture technologies
developed in the past as possible tools for secondary metabolites production. In most cases …

Legume lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-immune origin. Significant
amounts of lectins have been found in Phaseolus vulgaris beans as far back as in the last …

Lectins hold great promise not only as reagents for diagnostics and drug discovery but also
as a novel class of biopharmaceutical products. In fact, new research directions in the last …

The majority of human pharmaceuticals including vaccine and therapeutic proteins are
currently produced in mammalian and microbial cell cultures. However, these technology …

This review examines the challenges of segregating biopharmed crops expressing
pharmaceutical or veterinary agents from mainstream crops, particularly those destined for …

We compared the growth and productivity of a tobacco line of hairy roots that produces
murine interleukin 12 (mIL‐12) grown in three different culture systems: shake flasks, an …

The protease from the latex of Calotropis procera was isolated by an aqueous two-phase
system (ATPS). Polyethylene glycol (PEG 1000, 2000 and 3000) at a concentration of 12 …

Glycan-binding proteins such as lectins are ubiquitous proteins that mediate many biological
functions. To study their various biological activities and structure–function relationships …

Hairy roots have the potential to produce a variety of valuable small and large molecules.
The mist reactor is a gas phase bioreactor that has shown promise for low‐cost culture of …
