Abstract

Artemisia, a genus comprising diverse plant species, holds significant importance in various fields including medicine, agriculture, and ecology. Discriminating between different Artemisia species and identifying their unique characteristics are crucial tasks in research, conservation, and practical applications. This paper explores discrimination and identification strategies employed in deciphering Artemisia species. These strategies encompass a range of methodologies, including morphological analysis, chemical profiling, molecular techniques such as DNA barcoding, and advanced imaging technologies. By synthesizing insights from diverse disciplines, this paper sheds light on the multidimensional approaches used to unravel the intricate diversity within the Artemisia genus. Furthermore, it discusses the implications of accurate discrimination and identification of Artemisia species for medicinal research, crop improvement, and conservation efforts.
