Abstract

An improved liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) protocol for rapid analysis of co-metabolites of A. annua in raw extracts was developed and extensively characterized. The new method was used to analyse metabolic profiles of 13 varieties of A. annua from an in-field growth programme in Madagascar. Several multivariate data analysis techniques consistently show the association of artemisinin with dihydroartemisinic acid. These data support the hypothesis of dihydroartemisinic acid being the late stage precursor to artemisinin in its biosynthetic pathway.

  • Two hybrid varieties Hyb8001r (Zenith) and Hyb1209r (Shennong) with 54.5 and 36.3 kg/ha artemisinin were commercially released, with 8001r outperforming 12 other cultivars.

    “After rigorous procedures of selection two hybrid varieties namely Hyb8001r (Zenith) and Hyb1209r (Shennong) with 54.5 and 36.3 kg/ha artemisinin, respectively, were commercially released with 8001r outperforming 12 other cultivars (Suberu et al. 2016).”

    From Enhancing artemisinin content in and delivery from Artemisia annua: a review of alternative, classical, and transgenic approaches (2021) · cites this paper as Suberu et al. 2016

    Section 2.3 (Plant varieties) identifies CNAP8001R and CNAP1209R among 13 varieties evaluated to provide crosses for new hybrids. Section 3.3 reports the highest measured artemisinin concentration for CNAP8001, supporting its lead over the other sampled varieties on that measure. The paper does not report the claimed kg/ha yields, the names Zenith and Shennong, or commercial release; its concentration measurements do not establish field yield. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
