The Role of Jasmonates in Modulating Growth, Trichome Density, and Cannabinoid Accumulation in Cannabis sativa L.
Abstract Jasmonates have emerged as a prominent elicitor for enhancing trichome development and cannabinoid production in Cannabis sativa L. (cannabis). These glandular trichomes synthesize and store important cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), [...]
Effect of far-red and blue light on rooting in medicinal cannabis cuttings and related changes in endogenous auxin and carbohydrates
Abstract Stem cuttings are used in the commercial cultivation of many crops, including medicinal cannabis, to produce large numbers of uniform and genetically identical plants. Light is an important environmental factor determining the success [...]
Haploid Production in Cannabis sativa: Recent Updates, Prospects, and Perspectives
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is a dioecious species known to produce over 1600 chemical constituents, including more than 180 cannabinoids classified into 11 structural groups. These bioactive compounds are predominantly synthesised in the glandular trichomes [...]
Optimizing LED Light Intensity and Photoperiod to Promote Growth and Rooting of Medicinal Cannabis in Photoautotrophic Micropropagation
Abstract Conventional micropropagation of cannabis struggles with excessive callus hyperhydration, slow growth, low rooting efficiency, and high contamination risk, all of which greatly restrict its feasibility for large-scale propagation. In contrast, photoautotrophic micropropagation (PAM) [...]

Mother transformer: A High-Throughput, Cost-Effective in Planta Hairy Root Transformation Method for Cannabis
Abstract Background Hairy root (HR) transformation assays mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes, both in vitro and ex vitro, are essential tools in plant biotechnology and functional genomics. These assays can be significantly influenced by various [...]
Unravelling herbicide stress and its impact on metabolite profiling in Cannabis sativa: an investigative study
Abstract Background Cannabis sativa L., renowned for its versatility in pharmaceutical, textile, and cosmetic industries, is highly susceptible to several agronomic and environmental factors, particularly herbicides. These chemical agents, while commonly used for weed [...]
Variability of total THC in greenhouse cultivated dried Cannabis
Abstract Natural variation in secondary metabolites is commonplace in organic matrices, including consumable fruits and vegetables. However, absolute concentration and variation of secondary metabolites are generally not of concern to consumers. Cannabis sativa and C. [...]
Understanding the role of oxylipins in Cannabis to enhance cannabinoid production
Abstract Phytocannabinoids are medically important specialized defense compounds that are sparsely distributed among plants, yet Cannabis sativa can synthesize unprecedented amounts of these compounds within highly specialized surface cell factories known as glandular trichomes. [...]
