The complex interactions between flowering behaviour and fibre quality in hemp
https://sci-hub.tw/10.3389/fpls.2019.00614
Hemp, Cannabis sativa L., is a sustainable multipurpose fibre crop with high nutrient and water use efficiency and with biomass of excellent quality for textile fibres and construction materials. The yield and quality of hemp biomass are largely determined by the genetic background of the hemp cultivar but are also strongly affected by environmental factors, such as temperature and photoperiod. Hemp is a facultative short-day plant, characterized by a strong adaptation to photoperiod and a great influence of environmental factors on important agronomic traits such as “flowering-time” and “sex determination”. This sensitivity of hemp can cause a considerable degree of heterogeneity, leading to unforeseen yield reductions. Fibre quality for instance is influenced by the developmental stage of hemp at harvest. Also, male and female plants are differing in stature and produce fibres with different properties and quality. Next to these causes, there is evidence for specific genotypic variation in fibre quality among hemp accessions. Before improved hemp cultivars can be developed, with specific flowering-times and fibre qualities, and adapted to different geographical regions, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling important phenological traits such as “flowering-time” and “sex
determination” in relation to fibre quality in hemp is required. It is well known that genetic factors play a major role in the outcome of both phenological traits but, the major molecularfactors involved in this mechanism are not characterized in hemp. Genome sequences and transcriptome data are available but their analysis mainly focussed on the cannabinoid pathway for medical purposes. Herein, we review the current knowledge of phenotypic- and genetic data vailable for “flowering-time”, “sex determination” and “fibre quality” in short-day and dioecious crops, respectively, and compare them with the situation in hemp. A picture emerges for several
controlling key genes, for which natural genetic variation may lead to desired flowering behaviour, including examples of pleiotropic effects on yield quality and on carbon partitioning. Finally we discuss the prospects for using this knowledge for the molecular breeding of this sustainable crop via a candidate gene approach.

As was the one posted by Azaghal a few posts ago

"Gene Networks Underlying Cannabinoid and Terpenoid Accumulation in Cannabis "
Glandular trichomes are specialized anatomical structures that accumulate secretions with important biological roles in plant–environment interactions. These secretions also have commercial uses in the flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries. The capitate-stalked glandular trichomes of Cannabis sativa (cannabis), situated on the surfaces of the bracts of the female flowers, are the primary site for the biosynthesis and storage of resins rich in cannabinoids and terpenoids. In this study, we profiled nine commercial cannabis strains with purportedly different attributes, such as taste, color, smell and genetic origin. Glandular trichomes were isolated from each of these strains and cell type-specific transcriptome data sets were acquired. Cannabinoids and terpenoids were quantified in flower buds. Statistical analyses indicated that these data sets enable the high-resolution differentiation of strains by providing complementary information. Integrative analyses revealed a coexpression network of genes involved in the biosynthesis of both cannabinoids and terpenoids from importedprecursors. Terpene synthase genes involved in the biosynthesis of the major mono- and sesquiterpenes routinely assayed by cannabis testing laboratories were identified and
functionally evaluated. In addition to cloning variants of previously characterized genes, specifically CsTPS14CT ((-)-limonene synthase) and CsTPS15CT (β-myrcene synthase) wefunctionally evaluated genes that encode enzymes with activities not previously described incannabis, namely CsTPS18VF and CsTPS19BL (nerolidol/linalool synthases); CsTPS16CC (germacrene B synthase); and CsTPS20CT (hedycaryol synthase). This study lays the groundwork for developing a better understanding of the complex chemistry and biochemistry underlying resin accumulation across commercial cannabis strains.

Functional expression and characterization of trichome-specific (-)-limonene synthase and (+)-a-pinene synthase from Cannabis sativa

Natural product communications · March 2007 Natural Product Communications Vol. 0 (0) 2006
Two recombinant, stereospecific monoterpene synthases, a (-)-limonene synthase (CsTPS1) and a (+)-α-pinene synthase (CsTPS2), encoded by Cannabis sativa L. cv. ‘Skunk’ trichome mRNA, have been isolated and characterized. Recombinant CsTPS1 shows a Km value at 6.8 μM and a Kcat at 8.2 x 10-2 s-1, the pH optimum was determined at pH 6.5, and a temperature optimum at 40°C. Recombinant CsTPS2 shows a Km values at 6.7 μM and a Kcat at 8.1 x 10-2 s-1, the pH optimum was determined at pH 7.0, and a temperature optimum at 30°C. Phylogenetic analysis showed that both CsTPSs group within the angiosperm family and belong to the Tpsb subgroup of monoterpene synthases. The enzymatic products (-)-limonene and (+)-α-pinene were detected as natural products in C. sativa trichomes.

The Case for the Entourage Effect and Conventional Breeding of Clinical Cannabis: No “Strain,” No Gain
Ethan B. Russo
Frontiers in Plant Science 1 January 2019 | Volume 9 | Article 1969
doi: 10.3389/fpls.2018.01969
The topic of Ccannabis curries controversy in every sphere of influence, whether politics, pharmacology, applied therapeutics or even botanical taxonomy. Debate as to the speciation of Cannabis, or a lack thereof, has swirled for more than 250 years. Because all Cannabis types are eminently capable of cross-breeding to produce fertile progeny, it is unlikely that any clear winner will emerge between the “lumpers” vs. “splitters” in this taxonomical debate. This is compounded by the profusion of Cannabis varieties available through the black market and even the developing legal market. While labeled “strains” in common parlance, this term is acceptable with respect to bacteria and viruses, but not among Plantae. Given that such factors as plant height and leaflet width do not distinguish one Cannabis plant from another and similar difficulties in defining terms in Cannabis, the only reasonable solution is to characterize them by their biochemical/pharmacological characteristics. Thus, it is best to refer to cannabisCannabis types as chemical varieties, or “chemovars.” The current wave of excitement in cannabisCannabis commerce has translated into a flurry of research on alternative sources, particularly yeasts, and complex systems for laboratory production have emerged, but these presuppose that single compounds are a desirable goal. Rather, the case for cannabisCannabis synergy via the “entourage effect” is currently sufficiently strong as to suggest that one molecule is unlikely to match the therapeutic and even industrial potential of cannabisCannabis itself as a phytochemical factory. The astounding plasticity of the cannabisCannabis genome additionally obviates the need for genetic modification techniques.

In the last few days I added 67 more articles if any are duplicates please let me know so I can fix that.
I hope folks can use these, the pace of Cannabis research is speeding up every year, if anyone has any article that is new and might be interesting to IC readers post it or send it to me via PM and I will post it in this thread.

We examined the effects of essential oil from legal (THC <0.2% w/v) hemp variety on the nervous system in 5 healthy volunteers. GC/EIMS and GC/FID analysis of the EO showed that the main components were myrcene and Beta-caryophyllene.The experiment consisted of measuring autonomic nervous system (ANS) parameters; evaluations of the mood state; and electroencephalography (EEG) recording before treatment, during treatment, and after hemp inhalation periods as compared with control conditions. The results revealed decreased diastolic blood pressure, increased heart rate, and significant increased skin temperature. The subjects described themselves as more energetic, relaxed, and calm. The analysis EEG showed a significant increase in the mean frequency of alpha (8–13Hz) and significant decreased mean frequency and relative power of beta 2 (18,5–30Hz) waves.Moreover, an increased power, relative power, and amplitude of theta (4–8Hz) and alpha brain waves activities and an increment in the delta wave (0,5–4Hz) power and relative power was recorded in the posterior region of the brain. These results suggest that the brain wave activity and ANS are affected by the inhalation of the EO of Cannabis sativa suggesting a neuromodular activity in cases of stress, depression, and anxiety.

The origins of cannabis smoking: Chemical residue evidence from the first millennium BCE in the Pamirs


Meng Ren, Zihua Tang, Xinhua Wu, Robert Spengle, Hongen Jiang, Yimin Yang and Nicole Boivin

Science Advances 12 Jun 2019:
Vol. 5, no. 6, eaaw1391
DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aaw1391

Abstract

Cannabis is one of the oldest cultivated plants in East Asia, grown for grain and fiber as well as for recreational, medical, and ritual purposes. It is one of the most widely used psychoactive drugs in the world today, but little is known about its early psychoactive use or when plants under cultivation evolved the phenotypical trait of increased specialized compound production. The archaeological evidence for ritualized consumption of cannabis is limited and contentious. Here, we present some of the earliest directly dated and scientifically verified evidence for ritual cannabis smoking. This phytochemical analysis indicates that cannabis plants were burned in wooden braziers during mortuary ceremonies at the Jirzankal Cemetery (ca. 500 BCE) in the eastern Pamirs region. This suggests cannabis was smoked as part of ritual and/or religious activities in western China by at least 2500 years ago and that the cannabis plants produced high levels of psychoactive compounds.

Studies on flowering-plant growth and organogenesis - III. Leaf shape changes associated with flowering and sex differentiation in Cannabis sativa.



Hi,

Does anybody have any publications or papers from Heslop-Harrison or any other related to the induction of flowering in Cannabis, the role of daylength, plant age or florigen and so on. Basically trying to undersand how flowering triggers and the maturation time could influenced. Or relation between maturation time and cannabinoid/terpene production.

I'm having some dificulties to find some of those:

Heslop-Harrison J, Heslop-Harrison Y. 1969. Cannabis sativa L. In: Evans LT, ed. The Induction of Flowering. Macmillan, 205-226.

Heslop-Harrison J, Heslop-Harrison Y. 1970. The state of the apex and the response to induction in Cannabis sativa. In: Bernier G, ed. Proceedings of the Symposium on Cellular and Molecular Aspects of Floral Induction, Liege, Belgium. Longmans Green, 3-26.

Heslop-Harrison J, Heslop-Harrison Y. 1958. Studies on flowering-plant growth and organogenesis - III. Leaf shape changes associated with flowering and sex differentiation in Cannabis sativa. Proc.Roy.Irish Acad. 59: 257-283.

Thanks.
