CRISPR-Based Enhancement of Secondary Metabolites in Artemisia annua: Focus on Artemisinin Biosynthesis
Abstract: Medicinal plants are natural biofactories producing secondary metabolites with significant therapeutic value, including terpenoids, alkaloids, and phenolics. Among these, artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone from Artemisia annua L. is the cornerstone of global antimalarial therapy along with additional anticancer, antiviral, and antimicrobial activities. However, artemisinin content in the native plants is inherently low (typically 0.01–0.8% dry weight), restricting affordable and consistent supply. Conventional approaches to increase production include classical breeding, singlegene …
