Susceptibility of Mexican cacti to Agrobacterium rhizogenes was evaluated in 65 species of 22 genera. Stem discs taken from in vitro cultured plants were inoculated with Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4 agropine-type strain that contains the wild RiA4 plasmid and the binary vector pESC4 with the nptII and gus genes. Hairy roots were produced directly from wounds, or starting from calli generated on the wounded surface, in 34 of the evaluated species. The frequency of hairy roots formation, the number of roots per explant and its growth rates were variable among the tested species. In the 31 remaining species the production of transformed roots was not observed under the conditions used in these experiments. Histochemical detection of β-glucuronidase (GUS) activity demonstrated the expression of this foreign gene in the hairy roots. PCR analyses demonstrated the presence of the rolB and nptII genes in the DNA of the transformed roots. The patterns of alkaloid-like compounds obtained by thin layer chromatography in some of the tested species were qualitatively similar between the transformed and non-transformed roots.
