Artemisia annua L. plants lacking Bornyl diPhosphate Synthase reallocate carbon from monoterpenes to sesquiterpenes except artemisinin

The monoterpene camphor is produced in glandular secretory trichomes of the medicinal plant Artemisia annua, which also produces the antimalarial drug artemisinin. We have found that, depending on growth conditions, camphor can accumulate at levels ranging from 1- 10% leaf dry weight (LDW) in the Ar...
