ABSTRACT
An overview of recent studies conducted with the use of various plant tissues, organ culture and plant regeneration
of Artemisia species is presented in this paper. Species that belong to this genus contain important secondary
metabolites of diverse structure and biological activity. Owing to their valuable pharmacological properties,
Artemisia species have been the object of various biotechnological studies. Different in vitro methods of Artemisia
sp. culture are key to the production of these valuable compounds – especially sesquiterpene lactones – artemisinin
and arglabin – used as natural drugs.
