Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Andrographis paniculata is a self-pollinating medicinal plant with limited natural genetic diversity, which restricts the development of improved cultivars with desirable agronomic traits and stable accumulation of key bioactive compounds, particularly andrographolide (AP1). To overcome this limitation, ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis was applied to native Thai germplasm to induce phenotypic...
