Description The feasibility of transforming red beet to obtain singly and doubly transformed cultures resulting in hairy
roots capable of simultaneous production of both pigment (betalaines) and an enzyme(peroxidase) was investigated where extensive basic information developed on in situ product release, recovery and kinetic parameters for scale-up of the process would be of immense use for further commercial applications of such systems. The high sensitivity of red beet hairy roots for different sugars and the presence of several isoforms of peroxidase make them very attractive for more basic work elucidating various mechanisms involved in root biology.
