A Preliminary Study of Pollen Dispersal in Cannabis sativa in Relation to Wind Direction
@article{Small2003APS, title={A Preliminary Study of Pollen Dispersal in Cannabis sativa in Relation to Wind Direction}, author={Ernest Small and Tanya Antle}, journal={Journal of Industrial Hemp}, year={2003}, volume={8}, pages={37 - 50} }
Abstract Pollen of Cannabis sativa is disseminated by wind in large amounts and for long distances, and regulations concerning the production of pedigreed seed of industrial hemp, therefore, often call for extremely large isolation distances to prevent unwanted pollination. In Europe and Canada, a standard distance of 5 km is required for the highest classes of hemp seed. This study examines the relative distribution of pollen from an isolated field over the 3-week maximum flowering period…

Tetrahydrocannabinol levels in hemp (cannabis sativa) germplasm resources
- BiologyEconomic Botany

This study surveyed THC levels of 167 accessions grown in southern Ontario, making this the largest survey to date of germplasm intended for breeding in North America, and found forty-three percent of these had THC levels ≥0.3% and are unsuitable for hemp development in NorthAmerica.

- BiologyGenetic Resources and Crop Evolution
- 2019
Domesticated plants (both hemp and marijuana) possessed achenes that were significantly longer, heavier, covered with a less adherent perianth, and lacking a pronounced basal attenuation, which reflect traits that are advantageous in domesticated plants and are consistent with the “domestication syndrome” found in propagules of other crops.

The morphological features of anthers, pollen production and germination in hermaphroditic flowers and in staminate inflorescences on male plants were compared and Copia-like retrotransposons within the C. sativa genome which may be associated with the expression of male or female phenotype were revealed.
