T-DNA Insertion Alters the Terpenoid Content Composition and Bioactivity of Transgenic Artemisia annua

Abstract: In this study, the interference of T-DNA insertion upon Agrobacterium-mediated transformation on the biochemical expression of the host genome is discussed. Plant extracts of transgenic Artemisia annua L. with or without an overexpressed farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase gene have been investigated for their bioactivity and metabolic profile in comparison with wild type A. annua. The highest antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans was observed in the T253 tran… Show more

“…A similar result was observed in tomato leaf, with monoterpene α-pinene more abundant under blue spectrum [ 51 ]. In addition to light treatment, alterations of terpenoid composition and content in A. annua were reported by T-DNA insertions at different positions of the host genome [ 52 ]. A similar finding was demonstrated by overexpression of the gibberellin biosynthetic gene, as the proportion of monoterpenes in transgenic plants slightly increased compared with the proportion in wild type [ 37 ].…”

“…Several studies have focused on the synergistic effect of artemisinin with other terpenoid compounds against malarial parasites. A transgenic line with high squalene content but moderate level of artemisinin was reported to exhibit higher antimalarial activity than an artemisinin-rich line, suggesting that squalene was involved in increasing the bioactivity of crude compounds [ 52 ]. Thus, variations of terpenoid compounds in A. annua plants under different light conditions should be further considered for pharmaceutical evaluation.…”
