Photoreceptors and Control of Horticultural Plant Traits
Plant productivity and product quality ultimately are dependent on an interaction between genetics and environment, and one of the most important environmental cues is light. Light quantity, quality, and duration provide critical information to plants that mediate growth and development.
Summary of Photosynthetic Response of Cannabis sativa L.
The effects of different photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD) of 0, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 mol=m2{sec, temperatures in centigrade (oC) of 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40, and CO2 concentrations of parts per million (PPM) of 250, 350, 450, 550, 650 and 750 on gas and water vapor exchange characteristics of Cannabis sativa L. were studied. These variables were used to determine the suitable and efficient environmental conditions for its indoor mass cultivation for pharmaceutical uses.
UV-B RADIATION EFFECTS ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS, GROWTH AND CANNABINOID PRODUCTION OF TWO Cannabis sativa CHEMOTYPES
The effects of UV-B radiation on photosynthesis, growth and cannabinoid production of two greenhouse-grown C. sativa chemotypes (drug and fiber) were assessed.

GROWTH RESPONSES OF HEMP TO DIFFERENTIAL SOIL AND AIR TEMPERATURES
In order to determine whether a given temperature exerted its characteristic formative and metabolic effects primarily through the root or through the shoot, a growth experiment employing a rapidly developing annual with tops and roots exposed to unlike temperatures was devised.
