Enhanced production of bioactive isoprenoid compounds from cell suspension cultures of Artemisia annua L. using β-cyclodextrins.

annua suspension cultures, cells treated for three days with 50 mM DIMEB showed slight increases of violaxanthin, zeaxanthin and β-carotene and a highly significant increase of lutein (more than 10-fold) compared to untreated cells, thus showing the ability of DIMEB to enhance carotenoid production ( Figure 1 A).
