Hairy roots of Brassica napus (rape cv. Giant) were produced by cocultivating leaf and cotyledon explants with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4T. The hairy roots grew prolifically on solid and in liquid media. Incorporation of ammonium sulphate or phosphinothricin (PPT) into the media reduced growth. PPT treatment reduced glutamine synthetase (GS) activity and increased the ammonia content of the hairy roots. We have found that PPT treatment also induces a loss of glutamine from the roots and this may influence root growth. To test this we grew hairy roots in a liquid medium containing 10 mM glutamine. This glutamine treatment overcame the PPT induced suppression of growth but also significantly increased GS activity, reduced ammonia accumulation and increased the levels of glutamate and asparagine. |
