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 [...]
Improved Biomass Production and Secondary Metabolism: A Critical Review of Grafting in Cannabis sativa
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is a versatile plant with applications in various sectors such as agriculture, medicine, food, and cosmetics. The therapeutic properties of cannabis are often linked to its secondary compounds. The worldwide [...]
Methyl Jasmonate and Ammonium Bicarbonate: Distinct and Synergistic Impacts on Indoor Cannabis Production Dynamics
Abstract As high-CBD cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) gains legal and commercial relevance in the United States, studies evaluating how external inputs impact critical traits remain limited. This study investigates the effects of methyl jasmonate [...]

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. [...]
Exploring Aroma and Flavor Diversity in Cannabis sativa L.—A Review of Scientific Developments and Applications
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. exhibits a complex sensory profile governed by a diverse range of volatile and non-volatile compounds. Volatile constituents—such as terpenes, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and sulfur-containing compounds—together with non-volatile taste-active molecules including [...]
Determination of Optimal Harvest Time in Cannabis sativa L. Based upon Stigma Color Transition
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. is cultivated for therapeutic and recreational use. Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are primarily responsible for its psychoactive and medicinal effects. As the global cannabis industry continues to expand, [...]
Nonterpenoid Chemical Diversity of Cannabis Phenotypes Predicts Differentiated Aroma Characteristics
Abstract The recent increase in legality of Cannabis Sativa L. has led to interest in developing new varieties with unique aromatic or effect-driven traits. Selectively breeding plants for the genetic stability and consistency of [...]
