The incorporation of [2-14C]mevalonic acid lactone (I) in the in vivo biosynthesis of arteannuic acid (II) in Artemisia annua was proved by both the plantlet hydroponic and the stem tip cutting methods. The radioactivity yield of II ranged 0.006-0.020%. It is apparent that I is a precursor of II in A. annua.
