Agrobacterium rhizogenes is a soil phytopathogen, which infects wounded plant tissue and generates overproliferation of neoplastic roots. Hairy-root cultures obtained by transformation of plant tissue by A. rhizogenes have evolved as an important tool for biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites. This review discusses the methods for efficient plant transformation and hairy root formation for secondary metabolites production.
