Project Type MQP Submission date 2006-12-15 Authors Elisabeth Anne Drenzek, BIO Lacey Jane Larson, BC URN E-project-121506-160800 Title Comparative Terpenoid Metabolism in Artemisia annua Seedlings Advisor Weathers, Pamela, BB Availability unrestricted Abstract
This MQP compares the effects of sugars on growth and terpenoid production in the plant Artemisia annua. It also includes a review of hexokinase locations in plants. Seedlings were grown in media containing sucrose, glucose, or fructose. The growth of the seedlings was measured in biomass and number of leaves per plant. Terpenoids were measured by a TLC profile made from extractions of the seedlings. This MQP furthers the study of hexokinase localization and terpenoid production and regulation in plants.
