Drought stress in Cannabis sativa L.: current knowledge, research gaps, and future perspectives – a review
Abstract Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) has gained increasing agronomic, industrial, and therapeutic importance owing to its fiber, seed, and bioactive cannabinoid content. However, water limitation represents a major environmental constraint affecting cannabis growth, yield, [...]
Mother Plant Age and Light Intensity Minimally Alter Adventitious Root Formation in Medicinal Cannabis
Abstract Apical stem cuttings are the primary method for propagation in medicinal cannabis, yet propagation has not been studied as extensively as the later stages of crop cultivation. This study examined how mother plant age [...]
Integrating Silicon into Fertigation Strategies for Cannabis Production: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract Silicon (Si) is a beneficial, non-essential element used in cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.), yet cannabis-specific evidence is scattered across hemp and drug-type cannabis. Because the marketable organ in drug-type and medicinal cannabis is the [...]
Characterizing the effect of short wavelengths on the floral flavonoid metabolome of medicinal cannabis using a comparative computational metabolomics workflow
Abstract Background Controlled-environment cultivation of medicinal cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) typically optimizes light condi-tions to enhance the biosynthesis of pharmaceutically important metabolites like cannabinoids. Such experimental strategiesmay also influence other specialized metabolites like terpenoids, [...]
