The roles of endophytes in Cannabis sativa (cannabis, hemp) remain poorly explored. While vitro studies suggest that there can be several benefits, such as plant growth promotion and protection against pathogens, more planta are needed. This review summarizes the bacterial fungal previously reported tissues C. discusses factors influencing their presence, well potential beneficial detrimental effects. Using genome sequencing culture-based approaches, we describe microbial diversity hydroponically cultivated cannabis plants at developmental stages. These include mother plants, cuttings, vegetative flowering tissue-cultured plantlets. Microbes were present fungal, yeast, found roots, stems, leaves, inflorescences, seeds. may have originated from growing substrate or transmitted through propagation. Notable included Rhizophagus irregularis (a mycorrhizal fungus), Penicillium chrysogenum (an antibiotic producer), various endophytic yeast species not described sativa. Endophytes representing Fusarium oxysporum, also within tissues, which negatively impact health. scanning electron microscopy, observed propagules pith parenchyma cells xylem vessel elements stem illustrating for first time situ localization distribution vascular tissues. mechanism spread vessels likely contributes to hemp plants. Further research is required validate grown under commercial production conditions.
