Artemisinin content in shoots, roots and hairy roots of transformed and un-transformed plants of Artemisia dubia and Artemisia annua. (a) Artemisinin content in shoots roots and hairy roots of Artemisia annua. A1, A2 and A3 represents leaf samples from three different transgenic lines, AR1, AR2 and AR3 represents roots of transgenic lines A1, A2 and A3 respectively, AH1 and AH2 represents two transgenic lines of hairy roots, AC and ARC represent control shoots and roots. (b) Artemisinin content in shoots, roots and hairy roots of Artemisia dubia. D1, D2 and D3 represent leaves from three transgenic lines. DR1, DR2 and DR3 represents transformed roots of transgenic lines D1, D2 and D3 respectively, DH1 and DH2 represents two transgenic lines of hairy roots, DC and DRC represent control shoots and roots. Both technical and biological replicates were performed. The average of three plants is shown together with error bars showing SD. Data was analyded for significant difference compared to the controls and all showed P < 0.001 with the control by Welch’s two samples t test
