Hemp seeds are gaining increasing attention in the realm of research due to their multifaceted nutritional and pharmaceutical properties. Notably, these offer a rich source protein, carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, making them valuable addition one's diet therefore, growing interest among researchers globally. A comprehensive literature review was conducted on prominent databases Scopus, Elsevier, PubMed using keywords "Hempseed," "Phytochemistry," "Nutraceuticals," food feed applications. Studies suggest that compounds exhibit therapeutic potential against conditions such as epilepsy, certain neurological disorders (Parkinson's Alzheimer's diseases), cardiovascular issues. Additionally, hemp possess other notable properties, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory effects. They also used dietary supplement alleviate headaches, insomnia, high cholesterol levels, premenstrual syndrome symptoms women.

The increased cultivation of high THC-containing Cannabis sativa L. (cannabis), particularly in greenhouses, has resulted a greater incidence diseases and molds that can negatively affect the growth quality crop. Among them, most important are root rots (Fusarium Pythium spp.), bud rot (Botrytis cinerea), powdery mildew (Golovinomyces ambrosiae), cannabis stunt disease (caused by hop latent viroid), range microbes reduce post-harvest quality. An integrated management approach to impact these diseases/microbes requires combining different approaches target reproduction, spread, survival associated pathogens, many which occur on same plant simultaneously. These will be discussed context developing an plan manage pathogens greenhouse-grown at stages development. include maintenance stock plants, propagation through cuttings, vegetative flowering. genotypes with tolerance or resistance various is very approach, as well pathogen-free plants.

Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) is one of the earliest cultivated crops and valued for its medicinal compounds, food, fibre, bioactive secondary metabolites. The rapid expansion cannabis industry has surpassed development production system knowledge. scientific community currently focuses on optimising agronomic environmental factors to enhance yield quality. However, cultivators face significant challenges from severe pathogens, with limited effective control options. principal diseases include root rot, wilt, bud powdery mildew, stunt disease, microorganisms that reduce post-harvest Sustainable management strategies involve utilising clean planting stocks, modifying conditions, implementing sanitation, applying fungal bacterial biological agents, drawing decades research other crops. Plant–microbe interactions can promote growth regulate metabolite production. This review examines recent literature pathogen in indoor using biocontrol agents. Specific morphological, biochemical, characteristics hinder implementation cannabis. Subsequent investigations should focus elucidating plant–microbe essential effectiveness methodologies cultivation systems.

Hop latent viroid (HLVd), a 256-nucleotide RNA strand with complementary base-pairing and internal stem loop structures, forms circular or rod-shaped molecules within diseased plants. RT-PCR/RT-qPCR was used to assess HLVd transmission, spread longevity.

Total yeast and mold (TYM) levels in inflorescences of high THC-containing Cannabis sativa (cannabis) are regulated to ensure that medicinal recreational users, especially those with immunocompromised systems, not exposed potentially harmful levels. In North America, the limits imposed range from 1,000–10,000 cfu/g dried product 50,000–100,000 cfu/g, depending on jurisdiction. Factors affecting a build-up TYM cannabis have been previously researched. this study, >2,000 fresh samples were assayed for over 3-year period (2019–2022) identify specific factors which can contribute Greenhouse-grown sampled before after commercial harvest, homogenized 30 s, plated onto potato dextrose agar (PDA) 140 mg/L streptomycin sulfate. Colony-forming-units (cfu) rated 5 days incubation at 23°C under 10–14 h light. PDA provided more consistent counts cfu compared Sabouraud tryptic soy agars.

Our findings indicate result dynamic interaction between genotype, environment, post-harvest handling methods. Some may be altered producers reduce potential microbes.

Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) is one of the earliest cultivated crops, valued for producing a broad spectrum compounds used in medicinal products and being source food fibre. Despite availability its genome sequences, few studies explore molecular mechanisms involved pathogen defense, underlying biological pathways are poorly defined places. Here, we provide an overview defence responses against common pathogens, such as Golovinomyces spp., Fusarium Botrytis cinerea Pythium spp. For each these after summary their characteristics symptoms, identifying genes resistance mechanisms. Many focus on potential involvement disease-resistance genes, while others refer to other plants however whose results may be use research. Omics investigations allowing identification candidate highlighted, editing approaches generate resistant species based CRISPR/Cas9 technology discussed. According emerging results, model including both immune plant–pathogen interactions finally proposed. To our knowledge, this first review Cannabis.

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.

During a comprehensive survey of the fungal diversity associated with Crocus sativus in saffron cultivation regions Taliouine and Taznakht Morocco, several different fungi were isolated, including Botrytis cinerea, well-known pathogen responsible for gray mold disease various crops. This particular fungus was specifically isolated from corms. The identification this isolate confirmed through combination morphological characteristics molecular phylogenetic analysis, focusing on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences. Based these detailed analyses, OM980236 definitely identified as cinerea. Further confirmation its pathogenicity achieved by fulfilling Koch's postulates, demonstrating that B. cinerea indeed causative agent observed disease. To best our knowledge, is first official report corms marking significant addition to understanding pathogens important region.
