Optimizing Growth Regulator Concentrations for Cannabis sativa L. Micropropagation
Abstract In this study, the effect of growth regulators on shoot proliferation and rooting were evaluated to develop an efficient micropropagation protocol for the Cannabis sativa L. cultivars ‘Cherry Soda’ and ‘Purple’. Apical meristems [...]
Response of Cannabis sativa L. to Inorganic Fertilization (N, P, K): Biomass, Nutrient Uptake and Cannabinoids Profile
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is a high-value medicinal crop whose nutritional requirements and fertilization strategies remain poorly defined, particularly in relation to cannabinoid production. This study evaluated the effects of inorganic fertilization (N, P, [...]
Current Context of Cannabis sativa Cultivation and Parameters Influencing Its Development
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is a versatile plant with significant medicinal, industrial, and recreational applications. Its therapeutic potential is attributed to cannabinoids like THC and CBD, whose production is influenced by environmental factors, such [...]

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. [...]
