Tissue Culture Propagation of <i>Artemisia annua</i> (IMAGE)
Caption
In her lab at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), Pamela Weathers, professor of biology and biotechnology, has developed several high-producing cultivars of the plant <i>Artemisia annua</i>, which she propagates using tissue culture. The plants are used in research that has shown that a therapy using dried, powered leaves of <i>Artemisia annua</i> is an effective and low-cost cure for malaria.
