The invention discloses a cultivation method for inducing
scutellaria baicalensis hairy root based on
agrobacterium rhizogenes infection, which uses an
agrobacterium rhizogenes
bacteria liquid to infect root of a
scutellaria baicalensis explant and induces the
scutellaria baicalensis explant to form a hairy root, the
scutellaria baicalensis hairy root presents yellow hairy on a MS
solid medium, so that
scutelloside can be stably synthesized, an ITS sequencing is performed and the hairy root can be identified as the
scutellaria baicalensis hairy root of a scutellaria. Then seed selection is performed for further in a seed selection medium and a cultivation condition can be optimized to select lines which raise the content of
active ingredient scutelloside used for hairy root traditional Chinese medicines. Hairy root can be obtained through scutellaria of a scutellaria introduced by
agrobacterium rhizogenes, wherein the inductivity can reach 10 - 40%, the obtained
scutellaria baicalensis hairy root presents yellow hairy which is capable of stably synthesizing
scutelloside. According to the invention, the scutellaria baicalensis hairy root of a scutellaria is cultivated on the optimized medium, the growth is rapid and the
biomass can be increased for 23 -35 times in 30 - 35 days, and the cultivation is performed under the dark conditions. The invention has the characteristics of low
energy consumption and low cost, which is suitable for industrialization production.
