This collaborative project builds on and expands the methodologies and discoveries presented in two key studies.

Effect of Timing of Ethephon Treatment on the Formation of Female Flowers and Seeds from Male Plant of Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.)

Youn-Ho Moon, Yoon Jeong Lee, Sung Cheol Koo, Mok Hur, Yun Chan Huh, Jae-Ki Chang, and Woo Tae Park from the Department of Herbal Crop Research, National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science, Korea, provide a deep understanding of Ethephon’s use in inducing changes in sexual expression in cannabis.

This study is a crucial reference for our work, exploring how Ethephon can be used to genetically alter cannabis and broaden our understanding of sexual plasticity in these plants.

Unlocking the Secrets of Sexual Plasticity in Cannabis sativa: Insights and Opportunities for Advanced Breeding

Adrian S. Monthony, Maxime de Ronne & Davoud Torkamaneh highlight the importance of sexual plasticity in cannabis and how it can be harnessed for breeding innovation. Together, these studies support our collaborative approach, aiming not only to replicate their findings but also to explore new horizons in cannabis breeding and research.

We deeply appreciate the pioneering work of the authors and institutions involved, whose research not only informs our project but also inspires us to continue exploring the limitless possibilities within cannabis genetics.
