Application

Application Comment Organism
agriculture growth of self-pollinated F2 plants under optimized growth conditions, consisting of long day, i.e. 16 h of light, and short day, i.e.9 h of light exposures in a phytotron. The leaves on the main stems exhibit obvious morphological changes, from indented single leaves to odd, pinnately compound leaves. Leaves and flowers form glandular and T-shaped trichomes on their surfaces. The glandular trichome densities increased from the bottom to the top leaves. Leaves, flowers, and young seedlings of F2 plants produce artemisinin. In leaves, the levels of artemisinin increases from the bottom to the top of the plants, showing a positive correlation to the density increase of glandular trichomes. Progeny of self-pollinated plants express the amorpha-4, 11-diene synthase and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase 71 AV1 genes Artemisia annua
