Exogenous Application of Methyl Jasmonate Affects the Phytochemical Accumulation and the Antioxidant Activity in Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Inflorescences
Abstract Exogenous application of methyl jasmonate (MeJ) at different concentrations (0, 1, 10, and 100 µM) during flowering was studied for its impact on phytochemical profile, antioxidant activity, and biomass accumulation in hemp inflorescences [...]
Enhancing yield of cannabis inflorescences and cannabinoids through plant stem infusion of sucrose: A novel cannabis cultivation approach
Abstract The rising demand for cannabis, both medicinal and recreational, requires innovative cultivation methods to maximize yield and cannabinoid production. This pilot study investigated the potential of plant stem infusion of sucrose (PSIS) as [...]
Diniconazole Promotes the Yield of Female Hemp (Cannabis sativa) Inflorescence and Cannabinoids in a Vertical Farming System
Abstract Hemp (Cannabis sativa) has gained global attention since being legalized in the USA in 2018. The legalization of hemp is also underway in Korea; however, it requires facility cultivation and an agricultural technological [...]
Optimizing Indoor Hemp Cultivation Efficiency through Differential Day–Night Temperature Treatment
Abstract This study was conducted to determine the optimal temperature difference in day–night indoor cultivation conditions to enhance the flower yield and functional component contents of female hemp plants. Hemp clones were cultivated under [...]

Roots and the rhizosphere: a perspective on the hidden engine of regenerative, antifragile, and digitally enabled agriculture
Abstract For decades, agricultural optimization has focused primarily on aboveground yield and external inputs while neglecting the complexity and functional integrity of belowground processes. The rhizosphere, the dynamic zone surrounding roots, has long been [...]
Advancements in Plant Diagnostic and Sensing Technologies
Abstract Recent advancements in plant sensing technologies have significantly improved agricultural productivity while reducing resource inputs, resulting in higher yields by enabling early disease detection, precise diagnostics, and optimized fertilizer and pesticide applications. Each adopted [...]
Unraveling the genetic diversity of Cannabis sativa L.: Phenotypic and molecular assessment, drivers of variation, and implications
Abstract Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) is a highly diverse species exhibiting significant phenotypic and genotypic variation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current literature on cannabis genetic diversity. We begin by outlining key morphological [...]
Selective activation of cannabinoid receptors by cannabis terpenes
Abstract Terpenes are aromatic compounds abundantly present in plants, including cannabis. Emerging preclinical and clinical evidence indicates that certain terpenes exhibit pharmacological effects in various physiological and psychological conditions. Yet, their molecular mechanisms of [...]
