Exploring dynamic changes in metabolic profiles of Artemisia argyi leaves across different growth stages via plant metabolomics.

Artemisia argyi Levl. et Vant is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb with considerable medicinal value. A. argyi Levl. et Vant. leaves (AAL) have exhibited diverse biological activities that are tightly associated with their chemical components. During growth, the dynamic accumulation trends of bioactive metabolites were varied along with AAL developing. However, systematic studies on the dynamic variation patterns and regulatory mechanisms of major chemical constituents throughout their growth cycle remain scarce…
