Water Stress Effects on Biomass Allocation and Secondary Metabolism in CBD-Dominant Cannabis sativa L.
Abstract Water availability is a key factor affecting both morphological development and secondary metabolite production in Cannabis sativa L. This study evaluated the effects of water stress applied during the vegetative and flowering stages [...]
Study of plasma activated water and secondary effects on water using gamma radiation with FTIR in seeds germinations
Abstract Plasma activated water (PAW) and gamma radiation have been arduously used in many horticultural implementations; especially in increasing plant germination rates and general growth advancements. Attention has to be paid to both the [...]
The Effects of Blue Light and Supplemental Far-Red on an In Vitro Multiple Harvest System for the Production of Cannabis sativa
Abstract Blue and supplemental far-red light were observed to affect in vitro shoot growth with Cannabis sativa (‘BaOx’ and ‘Cherry 1’) in RV750 vessels. A modified “hedging” and fed-batch system for multiple harvests using [...]
Evaluation of substrate composition and exogenous hormone application on vegetative propagule rooting success of essential oil hemp (Cannabis sativa L.)
Abstract To support the rapidly expanding industrial hemp industry, a commercial supply of high-quality starter plants with low genetic variability from nurseries will be key to consistent and efficient cultivation efforts. Rooting success was [...]

Abstract Introduction: Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is often prescribed for ambulatory palliative patients to improve sleep quality and appetite and to reduce anxiety, stress, and pain. However, it is not known if THC has also an [...]
In the weeds: A comprehensive review of cannabis; its chemical complexity, biosynthesis, and healing abilities
Abstract For millennia, various cultures have utilized cannabis for food, textile fiber, ethno-medicines, and pharmacotherapy, owing to its medicinal potential and psychotropic effects. An in-depth exploration of its historical, chemical, and therapeutic dimensions provides [...]
Optimal Treatment with Cannabis Extracts Formulations Is Gained via Knowledge of Their Terpene Content and via Enrichment with Specifically Selected Monoterpenes and Monoterpenoids
Abstract Differences between therapeutic effects of medical cannabis inflorescences and those of their extracts are generally attributed to the differences in administration form and in the resultant pharmacokinetics. We hypothesized that difference may further [...]
Exploring the diversity of cannabis cannabinoid and non-cannabinoid compounds and their roles in Alzheimer’s disease: A review
Abstract Cannabis sativa is recognized for its chemical diversity and therapeutic potential, particularly in addressing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Given the complexity of AD, where single-target therapies often prove inadequate, a [...]
