There is no substitute for light: if the amount of light received by the plant is insufficient, the plant will stretch, and / or growth will slow to a halt. For indoor gardening, one of the most important requirements is the amount of light energy striking the surface of the plant ("incident light"), which can be measured in lux (lux = lumens ...
Close up of a Cannabis plant. Cannabis (/ˈkænəbɪs/) is commonly known as marijuana or hemp and has two known strains: Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica, both of which produce chemicals to deter herbivory. The chemical composition includes specialized terpenes and cannabinoids, mainly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabidiol (CBD ...
The flavor is more prominent and sweeter than butternut squash, and similarly nut-like. The squash averages 2.5 to 4 inches (6.4 to 10.2 cm) in width, and 4 to 5 inches (10 to 13 cm) inches in length. Partially ripe squash on the vine. The squash grow on a restricted vine that is self-fertile, [5] taking about 105 to 110 days from seed to maturity.
P450s in fungi perform functions analogous to the functions of KAOs in plants. [20] The function of CPS and KS in plants is performed by a single enzyme in fungi (CPS/KS). [21] [22] [23] In plants the Gibberellin biosynthesis genes are found randomly on multiple chromosomes, but in fungi are found on one chromosome . [24] [25] Plants produce ...
Plant hormones control all aspects of plant growth and development, including embryogenesis, [1] the regulation of organ size, pathogen defense, [2] [3] stress tolerance [4] [5] and reproductive development. [6] Unlike in animals (in which hormone production is restricted to specialized glands) each plant cell is capable of producing hormones.
Seedless watermelon plants are actually grown from seeds. The seeds are produced by crossing a diploid parent with a tetraploid parent to produce triploid seeds. It has been suggested that parthenocarpy could explain the difference in the yields in active compounds of the genus Cannabis. [5] [6] Some parthenocarpic cultivars are of ancient origin.
Micropropagation of plants is the process of using small samples of plants called explants and causing them to undergo growth of differentiated or undifferentiated cells. In connection with cytokinins like kinetin , auxins like IBA can be used to cause the formation of masses of undifferentiated cells called callus .
Cultivation of cannabis is the production of cannabis infructescences ("buds" or "leaves"). Cultivation techniques for other purposes (such as hemp production) differ.. In the United States, all cannabis products in a regulated market must be grown in the state where they are sold because federal law continues to ban interstate cannabis sales.
