Previous work showed that primary root elongation in maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings at low water potentials (psi(w)) requires the accumulation of abscisic acid (ABA) (R.E. Sharp, Y. Wu, G.S. Voetberg, I.N. Saab, M.E. LeNoble [1994] J Exp Bot 45: 1743-1751). The objective present study was to determine whether inhibition ABA-deficient roots is attributable ethylene. At a psi(w) -1.6 MPa, dark-grown treated with fluridone impose ABA deficiency largely prevented two inhibitors ethylene synthesis...

Mineral nutrition is a major factor affecting plant growth and function. Increasing evidence supports the involvement of macro micronutrients in secondary metabolism. The use appropriate nutritional measures including organic fertilizers, supplements, biostimulants therefore vital aspect medicinal production medical cannabis. Due to legal restriction on cannabis research, very little information available concerning effects supplements physiological chemical properties cannabis, their...

The inflorescence is the main product of medical cannabis. Hundreds specialized metabolites with potential bioactivity are produced and accumulated in glandular trichomes that highly abundant mainly on female inflorescences. Understanding morphophysiological genetic mechanisms governing flower development therefore high scientific practical importance. However, in-depth investigations cannabis florogenesis limited. Cannabis producers researchers consider long photoperiod to be...

We have demonstrated in previous studies that the essential macro-nutrients nitrogen (N) and phosporous (P) profound effects on production of cannabinoids terpenoids cannabis plant. The present study was undertaken to evaluate hypothesis potassium (K) supply, which is known substantially affect plant development function, affects secondary metabolism Two cultivars medical were grown controlled environment conditions, under five levels K supply: 15, 60, 100, 175, 240 mg L−1 K. results...

The N form supplied to the plant, ammonium (NH 4 + ) or nitrate (NO 3 – ), is a major factor determining impact of nutrition on plant function and metabolic responses. We have hypothesized that ratio NH /NO cannabis plants affects physiological biosynthesis cannabinoids terpenoids, which are factors in industry. To evaluate hypothesis we examined five supply ratios (0, 10, 30, 50, 100% N-NH , under uniform level 200 mg L –1 N) response. were grown pots, controlled environment conditions....

Scarcity of freshwater for agriculture has led to increased utilization treated wastewater (TWW), establishing it as a significant and reliable source irrigation water. However, years research indicate that if not managed adequately, TWW may deleteriously affect soil functioning plant productivity, pose hazard human environmental health. This review leverages the experience researchers, stakeholders, policymakers from Israel, United-States, Europe present holistic, multidisciplinary...
