Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Artemisia annua the enzyme DBR2 is induced by 0.12 mmol/l of cadmium. Appropriate doses of cadmium can increase the concentrations of artemisinic metabolites at a certain time point by upregulating the relative expression levels of key enzyme genes involved in artemisinin biosynthesis, overview up

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism the final step of artemisin biosynthesis involves two genes, a double bond reductase (DBR2) and an aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH1) Artemisia annua
