The paper studied the key factors of industrial hemp tissue culture, such as the physiological state of aseptic seedlings, the selection and concentration of plant growth regulators and so on.Hemp seed disinfection used 75% alcohol for 2 min and sterilized in 1‰ Hg Cl2 for 5min. The best combinations of plant growth regulators were 1.0 mg/L 6-BA and 0.5mg/L NAA for the induction of callus, and the best combinations of hormones were1.0 mg/L KT and 0.5 mg/L NAA for differentiation rate of adventitious bud.展开更多

One such technique is the modification of the spectral composition of light late in flowering-stage development. In this study, we evaluated the hypothesis that the addition of narrow bandwidth UV-A light and the combination of narrow bandwidth blue and red light, during the final two weeks of the flowering cycle affect the concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes, with no difference in harvest dry weight. Three treatments were used in this experimental design, 1) control-full spectrum illumination, 2) UV-A (~390 nm) at ~66 PPFD in addition to control lighting, and 3) blue (~450 nm) and red (~660 nm) at ~158 PPFD in addition to control lighting. Light treatments were initiated during the final two weeks of flowering to assess secondary metabolite concentration (cannabinoids and terpenes) and yield of three cannabis cultivars (Type I (Larry OG), Type II (Pootie Tang), and Type III (Super White)). With two of the three cultivars used in this study responding with enhanced production of THC our results support the potential beneficial effects of attributed light-mediated treatments on cannabinoid production. On the other hand, our results show contrasting trends for terpene production and yield of dry weight flower.展开更多

However, when given either intraperitoneally or orally as a purified product, a bell-shaped dose-response was observed, which limits its clinical use. In the present study, we have studied in mice the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activities of standardized plant extracts derived from the Cannabis sativa L., clone 202, which is highly enriched in CBD and hardly contains any psychoactive ingredients. In stark contrast to purified CBD, the clone 202 extract, when given either intraperitoneally or orally, provided a clear correlation between the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive responses and the dose, with increasing responses upon increasing doses, which makes this plant medicine ideal for clinical uses. The clone 202 extract reduced zymosan-induced paw swelling and pain in mice, and prevented TNFα production in vivo. It is likely that other components in the extract synergize with CBD to achieve the desired anti-inflammatory action that may contribute to overcoming the bell-shaped dose-response of purified CBD. We therefore propose that Cannabis clone 202 (Avidekel) extract is superior over CBD for the treatment of inflammatory conditions.展开更多
