Formation of Artemisinin in Artemisia annua During One Vegetation Period*,1

Liersch, R., Soicke, H., Stehr, C., Tüllner, H.-U.·1986·Planta Medica

Abstract

In order to investigate the possibility of isolating greater amounts of the antimalarial compound artemisinin (quinghaosu), plants of ARTEMISIA ANNUA were cultivated and analysed at different stages of development. We found the highest content just before flowering. It was also possible to correlate development of the plants with the maximum content of artemisinin. ARTEMISIA ANNUA plants cultivated from various other sources were also examine for artemisinin content. According to our results, none of these plants contained sufficient amounts of artemisinin to justify an isolation on a technical scale. Furthermore other Artemisia species were tested. We found artemisinin in only one other species. To possibly increase the amount of artemisinin during the growth period of the plant, we tested two hormone-type growth regulators on A. ANNUA strain 811. The results showed that one of them, chlormequat, was able to increase the artemisinin content by 30% over untreated plants. We also found some slight effects of the growth regulators on morphological criteria of glandular trichomes.

  • Artemisinin production in A. annua is localized in the biseriate glandular trichomes, specialized structures found predominantly on the surface of leaves and flowers.

    “There is increasing evidence that artemisinin production in A. annua is localized in the biseriate glandular trichomes: specialized structures, found predominantly on the surface of leaves and flowers [244,325].”

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.
