In Vitro Adventitious Regeneration of <i>Artemisia annua</i> L. Influencing Artemisinin Metabolism

<i>Artemisia annua</i> L. is a herbaceous plant belonging to the <i>Asteraceae</i> family, known for producing, although at low levels, the sesquiterpene lactone artemisinin (AN), which is highly effective against malaria. In this study, an in vitro regeneration process of &l...
