Newest firstCannabis 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 ↗Cannabis is a multi-billion dollar industry reliant on unpollinated genetically female (XX) plants, as pollination reduces cannabinoid yields and flower quality. The mechanism behind the sexual expression of C. sativa is unclear. This study examines the sexual characteristics of homo- and hetero-gametic triploid cannabis plants (XX(X/Y)) to understand the role of the Y chromosome in cannabis sex determination. Het…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis sativa (2n = 2x = 20) is a popular species belonging to the Cannabaceae family. Despite its use for medical, recreational, and industrial purposes as well as its long history, the genetic research on this species is in its infancy due to the legal implications and the prohibition campaigns. The recent legalization of Cannabis in many countries along with the use of genomics boosted the approaches aimed at…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis sativa L. is an annual species cultivated since antiquity for different purposes. While, in the past, hemp inflorescences were considered crop residues, at present, they are regarded as valuable raw materials with different applications, among which extraction of the essential oil (EO) has gained increasing interest in many fields. The aim of the present study is the evaluation of the yield and the chemic…
