Abstract
The Impact of Carbon Source, Explants and Growth Regulators on Callogenesis and Organogenesis of <i>Artemisia annua</i>
Highlights
Artemisia annua L. is an annual plant from the Asteraceae family, commonly known as sweet wormwood, containing a bioactive compound called artemisinin
In the medium containing glucose, callus induction started at 15-20th day with a low growth rate and it significantly decreased after the 3-4th subculture
Most of the induced calli were friable and suitable to produce suspension culture, but it strongly depended on the time of subculturing as they turned brown after 3 weeks
Summary
Artemisia annua L. is an annual plant from the Asteraceae family, commonly known as sweet wormwood, containing a bioactive compound called artemisinin. Various explants (leaf, shoot and root), carbon source (sucrose and glucose) and different concentrations of NAA and BAP were used.
