Cultivation Strategies to Modify Biomass Partitioning and Improve Yield in Controlled-environment Production of High-cannabidiol Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.)
Abstract Two common challenges reported by cannabis growers are low yields and small profit margins. Although recent research of cannabis yield has focused on lighting and nutrition, little research has examined how changes in [...]
Severe drought significantly reduces floral hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) yield and cannabinoid content but moderate drought does not
Abstract Floral Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a new crop of interest due to its capacity of producing medicinally active substances such as cannabidiol (CBD) and other cannabinoids and low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Preliminary experiments [...]
Micropropagation of Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.)
Abstract Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is commonly grown for the medicinal secondary metabolites produced by pistillate inflorescences. Micropropagation is a valuable method of propagating hemp plants because of the aseptic process and the production [...]
Operational Costs and Analysis of Agronomic Characteristics on Cannabidiol and Cannabigerol Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) in Hydroponic Soilless Greenhouse and Field Cultivation
Abstract In Europe, industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is currently cultivated primarily for its fibers and seeds due to regulatory restrictions on flower use, although the flowers present untapped valorization potential. This study assesses [...]

Enhancing Endocannabinoid Control of Stress with Cannabidiol
Abstract The stress response is a well-defined physiological function activated frequently by life events. However, sometimes the stress response can be inappropriate, excessive, or prolonged; in which case, it can hinder rather than help [...]
The Modulatory Effects and Therapeutic Potential of Cannabidiol in the Gut
Abstract Cannabidiol (CBD) is a major non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid that exists in the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD has been found to act on various receptors, including both cannabinoid and non-cannabinoid receptors. In addition, CBD has [...]
Investigation of microorganisms in cannabis after heating in a commercial vaporizer
Introduction There are concerns about microorganisms present on cannabis materials used in clinical settings by individuals whose health status is already compromised and are likely more susceptible to opportunistic infections from microbial populations present [...]
Cannabinoids-Multifunctional Compounds, Applications and Challenges-Mini Review
Abstract Cannabinoids represent a highly researched group of plant-derived ingredients. The substantial investment of funds from state and commercial sources has facilitated a significant increase in knowledge about these ingredients. Cannabinoids can be classified [...]
