Abstract

The effect of fungal elicitor, derived from mycelial extracts of Penicillium chysogenum 3446, on artemisinin production in hairy root cultures of Artemisia annua L was studied. Various concentrations of elicitor were added to the culture medium after 18 days. Time course experiments were carried out using a defined concentration of elicitor after 18 days. Various ages of hairy root cultures were elicited using a defined concentration of elicitor for 3 days. Artemisinin production in 21-day hairy root cultures treated with 0.3 mg total sugar/ml medium elicitor for 3 days reached to 549.1 mg/l.
