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
