Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) as a grain and fiber crop is experiencing resurgence in North America. Due to governmental prohibition, there has been limited information on regional agronomic production systems including basic seed germination. This study was initiated provide the relationship between temperature germination seed. Germination measured at constant temperatures ranging from...

Environmental cues elicit anthocyanin synthesis in plant vegetative and reproductive tissues. Their accumulation different organs accounts for their diverse biological functions, mainly related to antioxidant properties, it depends on a temporally spatially regulated mechanism controlled by the action of well-known multi-transcription factor complex. Despite highly recognizable value Cannabis s...

High performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) has been successfully applied to cannabis plant extracts in order to identify cannabinoid compounds after their quantitative isolation by means of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). MS conditions were optimized by means of a central composite design (CCD) approach, and the analysis method was fully validated. Six ma...
