Newest firstMedicinal plants have long served as a primary source of bioactive compounds with essential therapeutic applications. Recent advances in functional genomics and plant biotechnology now enable precise manipulation of metabolic pathways to enhance the production of specialized metabolites with medicinal value. However, an integrative understanding of how genomic discovery can be linked with pathway engineering, scal…
Open article record in new tab ↗Far-red (FR) light elicits two distinct processes in plants. First, a shade avoidance response which is triggered when the ratio of red to FR (R: FR) declines. Second, it interacts synergistically with higher frequency wavelengths of light (e.g. red or white) which improves the efficiency of photosynthesis. We investigated whether we could harness these phenomena in medicinal Cannabis to improve yields so that the…
Open article record in new tab ↗The individual tissues and cell types of plants each have characteristic properties that contribute to the function of the plant as a whole. These are reflected by unique patterns of gene expression, protein and metabolite content, which enable cell-type-specific patterns of growth, development and physiology. Gene regulatory networks act within the cell types to govern the production and activity of these compone…
Open article record in new tab ↗Mood disorders represent one of the most prevalent and costly psychiatric diseases worldwide. The current therapies are generally characterized by several well-known side effects which limit their prolonged use. The use of herbal medicine for the management of several psychiatric conditions is becoming more established, as it is considered a safer support to conventional pharmacotherapy. The aim of this study was…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Cannabis possesses a rich spectrum of phytochemicals i.e. cannabinoids, terpenes and phenolic compounds of industrial and medicinal interests. Most of these high-value plant products are synthesised in the disk cells and stored in the secretory cavity in glandular trichomes. Conventional trichome analysis was so far based on optical microscopy, electron microscopy or extraction based methods that are ei…
