Popis: Podophyllotoxin, a potent chemotherapeutic agent is obtained from Podophylhum hexandrum Royle. Embryos of P. hexandrum were transformed using different strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes viz. A4, 15834, K599. Transformed nature of the calli was ascertained and the cultures were further maintained as individual clones. HPLC analysis of transformed cultures depicted a three-fold increase in podophyllotoxin content in comparison to controls.
