Abstract
Cannabis sativa is an agriculturally important plant that has been cultivated since antiquity. The plant has traditionally been grown for its remarkably tough fibers, for therapeutic value as a medicinal plant, and for its nutritious seeds. Contemporary applications of Cannabis sativa see the use of resin for bio-plastics, bio-fuels, and medicinal extracts for the treatment of disease. Glandular trichomes are small hair-like projections responsible for the production of the resin in Cannabis sativa. While Cannabis sativa and its products have, and have had, a plethora of uses in both ancient and contemporary times, little is known about the biology of Cannabis sativa in comparison with other industrial crop species. Particularly trichome productivity, a key determinant of Cannabis resin yield and quality, is only beginning to be understood at a molecular level.
