Technology Invention and Mechanism Analysis of Rapid Rooting of Taxus × media Rehder Branches Induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes.

ABSTRACT: Taxus, a vital source of the anticancer drug paclitaxel, grapples with a pronounced supply-demand gap. Current efforts to alleviate the paclitaxel shortage involve expanding Taxus cultivation through cutting propagation. However, traditional cutting propagation of Taxus is difficult to root and time-consuming. Obtaining the roots with high paclitaxel content will cause tree death and resource destruction, which is not conducive to the development of the Taxus industry. To address this, establishing rapid and efficient stem rooting systems emerges as a key solution for Taxus propagation, facilitating direct and continuous root utilization. In this study, Agrobacterium rhizogenes were induced in the 1-3-year-old branches of Taxus × media
