Cannabis yield and cannabinoid profile affected by plant nutrition and planting density
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is widely cultivated for its medicinal and industrial uses, with increasing demand driving research on factors that influence cannabinoid yield and profile. This study examined the combined effects of individualized [...]
Vegetative and reproductive stage lighting interactions on flower yield, water use efficiency, terpenes, and cannabinoids of Cannabis sativa
Abstract Cannabis is among the most water-demanding crops, facing ongoing expansion and water use regulations. This study evaluated the effects of greenhouse sunlight plus increased LED supplemental lighting on flower yield, water use (WU), [...]
Illuminating Cannabis sativa L.: The Power of Light in Enhancing C. sativa Growth and Secondary Metabolite Production
Abstract Light is crucial for higher plants, driving photosynthesis and serving as a powerful sensory signal that profoundly modulates growth, development, physiological functions, hormone activation, and biochemical pathways. Various light parameters—quality, intensity, composition, and [...]
LED spectra and defoliation independently shape canopy architecture and cannabinoid yield in indoor Cannabis cultivation
Abstract Cannabis growers often use light spectra and defoliation regimes to alter the growth of their plants. While several studies consider the impact of these practices separately, there are no reports of how these [...]

Cannabinoids, Phenolics, Terpenes and Alkaloids of Cannabis
Abstract Cannabis sativa is one of the oldest medicinal plants in the world. It was introduced into western medicine during the early 19th century. It contains a complex mixture of secondary metabolites, including cannabinoids [...]
Ethylene sensitivity assay in medicinal and fiber-type Cannabis seedlings reveals a triple-response-like phenotype
Abstract This study examines the conservation of ethylene response mechanisms in cannabis seedlings, expanding on evidence of ethylene’s influence in mature plants, particularly sexual plasticity. Using hemp and drug-type seedlings, we observed a unique [...]
Detection of Mycotoxigenic Fungi and Residual Mycotoxins in Cannabis Buds Following Gamma Irradiation
Abstract Cannabis plants are susceptible to microbial contamination, including fungi capable of producing harmful mycotoxins. The presence of these toxins in cannabis products poses serious health risks, especially when used for medical purposes in [...]
Cannabis sativa genotypes with larger leaf areas have higher potential to adjust stomatal size and density in response to water deficit: The effect on stomatal conductance and physiological stomatal behaviour
Abstract Effective stomatal control is fundamental to successful plant responses to water deficit stress. Control of stomatal conductance (Gs) can be exerted through modification of stomatal morphology (size and density) in newly developing leaves, [...]
