Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles Induced Accumulation of Biomass and Secondary Metabolites in Hairy Roots of <i>Rehmannia glutinosa</i>.

ABSTRACT: The hairy roots of Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) Libosch. ex Fisch. & C. A. Mey. are capable of producing active compounds such as iridoid glycoside, and phenylethanoid glycosides, which have potential applications in the pharmaceutical industry. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been used as novel elicitors in the induced cultivation of hairy roots, but there is a lack of research regarding their effects on R. glutinosa hairy roots. In the present study, silver nanoparticles (Pp-AgNPs) synthesized by the endophytic fungus Penicillium polandii PG21 were adopted to elicit hairy roots of R. glutinosa, to investigate their influences on the biomass, color, secondary metabolites, antioxidant activity, sucrose metabolism, and phytohormone-related gene expression.
