Correlations among morphological and biochemical traits in high‐cannabidiol hemp ( Cannabis sativa L.)

Abstract Cannabis sativa is cultivated for multiple uses including the production of cannabinoids. In developing improved production systems for high‐cannabinoid cultivars, scientists and cultivators must consider the optimization of complex and interacting sets of morphological, phenological, and biochemical traits, which have historically been shaped by natural and anthropogenic selection. Determining factors that modulate cannabinoid variation within and among genotypes is fundamental to developing efficient production systems and understanding the ecological significance of cannabinoids. Thirty‐two high‐cannabinoid hemp cultivars were characterized for
