Newest firstObesity is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat and is a major risk factor for various diseases, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated the anti-obesity effects of cannabigerol-dominant C. sativa inflorescence extracts (CEs) obtained using various ethanol concentrations. The extracts were analyzed by UPLC to determin…
Open article record in new tab ↗Medicinal cannabis has gained increasing attention from both the scientific community and clinical practice, due to the therapeutic potential of its major phytocannabinoids, particularly cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), for pain management. This review compiled and analyzed the available evidence regarding the antinociceptive effects of nanoencapsulated cannabinoids compared to free compounds.…
BACKGROUND: Cannabis sativa L. seeds have long been regarded as a by-product of cannabis cultivation. Beyond their nutritional value, cannabis seeds are increasingly recognized as a source of specialized phenolic compounds with potential biological relevance. However, research on seed phenolics remains fragmented, often receiving only marginal attention, and a dedicated synthesis focused specifically on these comp…
Background Cannabis sativa L. accumulates a wide array of specialized compounds, many of which are non-psychotropic and show significant promise in medical and therapeutic applications. One such group of C. sativa compounds is prenylated flavonoids, which have emerged as potential treatments for chronic pain and inflammation. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to isolate, identify, and synthesize prenylated fl…
Cannabis sativa L. is a predominantly dioecious species, but sex expression is highly plastic and can be modified by genetic, hormonal, developmental, and environmental factors. This plasticity has major implications for commercial production because hermaphroditic expression in female plants can cause unintended pollination, seed formation, reduced floral quality, and losses in cannabinoid yield. This review summ…
Open article record in new tab ↗Photoautotrophic micropropagation (PAM), which employs sugar-free media and ventilated culture vessels to enhance plantlet photoautotrophic capacity and overall quality, has substantial potential to increase propagation efficiency when integrated with an appropriate propagation protocol. In this study, we established a PAM propagation protocol for medicinal cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) using two genotypically dif…
Open article record in new tab ↗Industrial hemp cultivation is expanding and requires reliable monitoring for legal compliance and agricultural management. This paper presents a standardized UAV-based multisensor framework designed for Cannabis sativa L. It integrates RGB, multispectral, and thermal imaging as core modules, with hyperspectral and LiDAR as optional extensions. The framework sets protocols for sensor integration, flight planning,…
Simple SummaryThe pet food industry is increasingly looking for natural ingredients that can improve both the nutritional value and microbiological safety of dog diets while making better use of agricultural resources. Industrial hemp cultivation generates large amounts of leaves that are often underutilized, although they contain valuable natural compounds. This study compared hemp leaves and inflorescences from…
Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and frequently co-occurs with chronic pain. Worldwide, over 55 million people are affected by AD, with nearly half experiencing persistent pain. Chronic pain has been linked to accelerated memory deterioration and an increased risk of dementia, but the interplay between these conditions remains poorly…
BACKGROUND: Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is one of the oldest cultivated plants in human history. It is a valuable plant that has economic value for all industrial branches. The hemp plant has fibers of the highest quality. Accordingly, research aiming to enhance the fiber yield of hemp has significant agronomic and industrial relevance. METHODS: To this end, three soilless media treatments were applied to the modifi…
Open article record in new tab ↗The phytochemical variability in Cannabis sativa L. chemovars represents an underexplored factor in environmentally sustainable nanomaterial production. In this study, three distinct chemovars, (i) High-Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (89% THC), (ii) Balanced (60% Cannabidiol (CBD)), and (iii) High-CBD (89% CBD), were comparatively evaluated to determine their suitability for the green synthesis of silver nanopartic…
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) establish beneficial associations with plants, enhancing nutrient uptake, growth, and stress tolerance. Cannabis sativa L., a medicinal plant producing over 300 specialized metabolites with relevant medicinal properties, remains underexplored for PGPR influence on its metabolism. This study assessed the ability of four PGPR taxa: Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium, an…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis sativa L. is an economically significant multi-use crop valued for fiber, seed, and phytochemical production. Compared with other crops, advancement in Cannabis sativa has been slow due to regulatory constraints and genetic resource limitations. Recent advances in technology have transformed the research landscape, supporting a deeper understanding of the genetic architecture underlying key agronomic trai…
TIFY transcription factors play crucial regulatory roles in secondary metabolism and stress response. However, the expression patterns of the Cannabis sativa L. TIFY gene family under alkali stress, their involvement in cannabinoid metabolism, and their underlying genetic evolutionary mechanisms remain largely unexplored. In this study, we used bioinformatics approaches to conduct genome-wide identification and fu…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of global mortality, with dietary habits playing a significant role in its prevention and management. Hempseed (Cannabis sativa L.) has gained recognition as a functional food due to its rich nutritional profile, including high-quality plant proteins, optimal omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratios, and a variety of bioactive compounds such as tocopherols, phytos…
Open article record in new tab ↗Aging is characterized in part by chronic, low-grade inflammation, a major driver of cognitive decline, metabolic imbalance and organ dysfunction. Despite its central role in age-related morbidity, pharmacological strategies with well-defined long-term safety profiles remain limited. Phytocannabinoids have been proposed as modulators of neuroinflammatory and metabolic pathways, but their chronic safety during natu…
BACKGROUND: Standardized methods for distinguishing high-THC Cannabis sativa L. genotype versus chemotype of cultivars remain limited, posing challenges for quality control and regulatory compliance in the medicinal cannabis industry. This study addresses the integration of genetic and chemical profiling for the standardization and quality control of medicinal High-THC Cannabis sativa L. clonal cultivars, focusing…
Diseases caused by staphylococci and streptococci are a serious burden on livestock production, causing significant losses. In addition, the associated antibiotic resistance of these pathogens often makes treatment impossible or prolonged. Cannabis sativa L. contains many compounds with antibacterial properties and shows great potential as a natural antimicrobial agent for agricultural use against both of these ba…
Background Aging is a multifaceted process marked by the progressive accumulation of cellular damage in various tissues, resulting in a decline in physiological functions. The primary aim of aging research is to identify compounds that can delay or mitigate these detrimental changes. As cannabis legalization becomes more widespread and with limited empirical studies on its effects in the aging human population, th…
