Effect of Hormonal Treatments on Cannabinoid Content Levels in Female Hemp (<i>Cannabis sativa</i> L.) Inflorescences.

ABSTRACT: The diverse hormonal treatments applied to hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) carry significant implications for cultivation, and yield optimization across a range of applications, including fiber, seed, oil production, and the enhancement of medicinal compounds. However, there is no evidence concerning the long-term consequences of hormonal treatment. To determine the connection between the effects of hormonal treatment and cannabinoid accumulation, hemp plants were treated with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), abscisic acid (ABA), and salicylic acid (SA) to investigate their effects on gene expression and cannabinoid content levels in female inflorescences at 3 days and 4 weeks after treatment. The treatments influenced the transcript levels of five key cannabinoid biosynthesis genes, with 1.0
