About the Collection

Journal of Cannabis Research is calling for submissions to our Collection on the latest advancements in Cannabis sativa research, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of the key aspects that drive its production and utility. Cannabis, renowned for its diverse array of bioactive compounds, has garnered significant attention across scientific, agricultural, and industrial domains. 

This Collection invites original research, reviews, and perspectives on the following themes:
•    Molecular Insights: Exploring the genetic and transcriptomic mechanisms underlying cannabinoid and terpenoid biosynthesis, as well as glandular trichome development.
•    Germplasm Resources: Studies on genetic diversity, breeding strategies, and innovative approaches for developing high-yield and specialized chemotype cultivars.
•    Plant Physiology: Investigations into physiological responses to environmental stimuli, metabolic pathways, and signaling processes relevant to growth and secondary metabolite production.
•    Agronomic Practices: Sustainable and optimized cultivation techniques, including light, nutrient, and stress management strategies, aimed at maximizing yield and quality in controlled and open-field systems.

This Collection serves as a platform for scientists, breeders, and industry stakeholders to share breakthroughs and collaborative insights. Together, these contributions will advance our understanding of cannabis biology and production, fostering innovation in this rapidly evolving field.
