Despite its efficacy against malaria, the relatively low yield (0.01%-0.8%) of artemisinin in Artemisia annua is a serious limitation to the commercialization of the drug. A better understanding of the biosynthetic pathway of artemisinin and its regulation by both exogenous and endogenous factors is essential to improve artemisinin yield. Increasing evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) pl...

Background: The demand for African wormwood and Cancer bush has surged as modern healthcare products have provided limited solutions the ailments they treat. Moreover, there been an increase in younger consumers of these medicinal plants, who expect lower-priced which a ‘polished look’ that is similar to over-the-counter products.Aim: This study investigates need introduce capsules meet changes...

Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were obtained for the first time via green chemistry approach, starting from two aqueous extracts of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.), both leaf and stems. In order to obtain magnetic suitable medical purposes, more precisely with hyperthermia inducing features, a synthesis reaction was conducted, at room temperature (25 °C) 80 °C, formulations precipitation ...

Abstract Aqueous extracts of plants with proven biostimulant activity may have the potential to inhibit growth and development plant diseasecausing fungi. The use in such a role has many advantages including fact that are biodegradable, less costly, readily available. Therefore, aim this study was evaluate aqueous infusions, decoctions, macerates extracted from burdock roots, wormwood leaves, l...
