RT-PCR analysis of selected protein genes of flavonoid and artemisinin biosynthetic pathway. The experiment was repeated thrice. Ribosomal protein S9 (RPS9) was used as an internal control. DXS: 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase; DXR: 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase; HMGR: 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase; GPPS: geranyl pyrophosphate synthase; FPS: farnesyl diphosphate synthase; CHS: chalcone synthase; PAL: phenyl ammonia lyase; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
