Study explores metabolic disruptions in Artemisia annua mutant strain

Artemisia annua is celebrated for its production of artemisinin, a powerful antimalarial agent. Although its glandular secretory trichomes have been the focus of extensive research, a complete understanding of their metabolic processes remains elusive. Previous studies have primarily centered on artemisinin, often overlooking other crucial metabolic pathways. Addressing these knowledge gaps is crucial for unlocking new therapeutic potentials within this medicinal plant.
