Plants are obvious source for food, fiber and fuel
Plants are obvious source for food, fiber and fuel. Besides these plants are a source of diverse array of chemicals as flavors, fragrances, natural pigments, pesticides and pharmaceuticals ( Plants derived secondary metabolites) thus plants are invariably the integral part of human life.

(Leaf, Shoot, Root, Embryo) (Solid/Semi solid media)
Plant Cell Culture Plant Part (Leaf, Shoot, Root, Embryo) Callus culture (Solid/Semi solid media) Suspension culture (Liquid media) Bioreactor
9
Development of Callus Culture:-
Any plant part which contain the highest amount of desired compound is taken and kept on a defined media which contains all the nutrients required for plant cell growth and particular growth hormones and incubated under certain physical conditions of temp, light/dark period etc. under these conditions the organized plant part is converted into an unorganized growth and forms callus. Thus callus is unorganized growth of plant cells in vitro on a culture medium. This callus produces the same chemical compounds which are produced by the mature intact plant.
10
Development of Suspension Culture and Scale-up:-
Callus is transferred in liquid media and various culture parameters are optimized to enhance the yield of desired compound. For scale-up suspension culture is grown in Bioreactor and large-scale production of plant derived secondary metabolite is facilitated.
11
Advantages of producing compounds from Plant Cell Culture
Control of supply of product independent of availability of plant itself and climatic, geographical and governmental restrictions etc. High growth and turnover rate as compared to natural plant. Reduction in time and space requirement for the production of desired chemicals. Strain improvement with programs analogous to those used for microbial system.
12
Applications of Plant Cell Culture
Production of plant derived chemicals Development of transgenic plants Mass multiplication of desirable genotype of plants (Micropropagation) Production of pathogen free plants

23
Plant Tissue Culture- Different Approaches for Production of Secondary Metabolites
Plant Cell Suspension Culture (Plant cell suspension cultures are generated by transferring the callus tissue in liquid media) Tissue Culture Hairy Root Culture (Hairy root cultures are obtained by infection of Agrobacterium rhizogenes, a gram negative soil bacterium)
24
Induction of Hairy Roots by Agrobacterium rhizogenes
Wounded plant cells Signal Molecules Recognition by Agrobacterium Attachemnt of Agrobacterium With plant cells Transfer of Ri plasmid to wounded plant cells Co-Cultivation Integration of Ri plasmid into plant genome Hairy Root Induction Transfer of Ti/Ri Plasmind in plant cell /rhizogenes
25
Advantages of Hairy Root Culture Over Plant Cell Suspension Culture
Fast growth Low doubling time Genetic and biochemical stability Growth in hormone free media. These fast growing hairy roots can be used as a continuous source for the production of valuable secondary metabolites.
26
Induction of hairy roots
Hairy roots appear within one to four weeks of infection. In some plant species hairy roots may appear directly at the site of inoculation. While in others a callus will form initially and hairy roots appear subsequently from it.
27
Hairy root culture
28
Establishment of axenic hairy root lines
Excise the transformed roots from the explant after it grows more than 1 cm in its length. Transfer these excised roots to the same solidified growth medium with antibiotic to kill the bacterium. After appearance of lateral branching roots may be transferred to the liquid medium. Established roots may be cleared of bacteria by several passages in the medium containing 250 mg/l Cefotaxime and 250 mg/l ampicillin. Each root growth represents a single root line .
29
Measurement of growth By direct methods (Biomass- drain and weigh)
By indirect methods (Conductivity, nutrient consumption profile)
30
Cultivation of hairy roots in bioreactors
The ability to exploit hairy root culture as a source of bioactive chemicals depends on development of suitable bioreactor system.
31
Challenges in bioreactor designing
Hairy roots are complicated biocatalysts when it comes to scaling up. The main challenges for development of bioreactor for hairy roots are- Shear sensitivity of hairy root system. Requirement for a support matrix. Restriction of nutrient/oxygen delivery to the central mass of tissue. Resistance to flow due to interlocked matrix because of extensive branching of roots.
32
Bioreactors for hairy root cultures
Stirred tank bioreactor Air lift bioreactor Bubble column bioreactor Turbine blade bioreactor Mist (Trickle bed) bioreactor Rotating drum bioreactor Spin filter bioreactor
33
Bioreactor designs: A comparison
Advantages Shortcomings Stirred Tank (STR) - Not suitable for HR cultures because of wound response & callus formation. Airlift or Submerged Successful for hairy roots as hairy roots require low oxygen supply. Less hydrodynamic stress Uniform flow pattern Low operation cost Better top to bottom mixing Dead zones, Insufficient mixing, rupture due to collision Bubble Column Like the Air-Lift reactor. Bubbles cause less shear stress Absence of moving parts Ease in aseptic condition maintenance Insufficient mixing
34
Bioreactor designs: A comparison
Advantages Shortcomings Mist Bioreactor/Trickle bed Easy operation High oxygen tranfer Lack of shear Easiness of scaling up Gas composition can be controlled Pressure drop is low - Rotating drug bioreactor Minimum shear stress High oxygen tranfer ability Spin filter Rotating filter allows for spent medium removal & fresh medium addition.
