TricoStimulant
A technology created by TricoPharming that combines biotechnology and agriculture to increase production of valuable and commercial metabolite in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants trichomes, starting with Artemisia annua plant. Trichomes are small epidermal protrusions on the surfaces of leaves and other aerial organs of most plants. Trichomes’ peculiarity is that they are able to synthesize, store and sometimes secrete large amounts of specialized metabolites like artemisinin, which could have significant commercial value in industries such as animal health, natural cosmetics, pharma and nutraceutical.
Using this technique, we have improved the properties of Artemisia annua in a natural, sustainable and competitive way.
