Recenzii

"This book summarises several aspects of current research into Artemisia annua, the source of a compound that has proved very effective in treating certain types of malaria. Although the various contributions are quite wide ranging, the focus tends to be on artemisinin production and the improvements in yield that are possible using modern biotechnology. [...] Artemisia annua is only one of a large number of plants used in Chinese traditional medicine that deserve to be researched in detail. This book will strengthen the case for such work."
