WORD of the DAY:
Monoecy- male and female flowers on the same plant. Is an aberration used by breeders to create relatively stable monoecious hemp cultivators
Notes on the word of the day:
Cannabis is normally dioecious, which means unisexual
male or female flowers develop on separate plants, although cosexual monoecious or hermaphrodite examples with both sexes produced on one plant do occur. Cannabis is anemophilous (wind pollinated), relying on air currents to carry pollen grains from male plants
to female plants.
The hairs on a cannabis plant, usually white, turning
orange or reddish color when drying or curing, are the sexual organs, the stigmas, which are adhered to a bract, the bract is covered in hundreds of resinous trichomes, which produce an aromatic resin that we all know and love.
Normally, a male plant sheds its pollen and dies. Female
plants can keep on maturing for months, an flowers are formed if no pollination occurs.
Under
normal conditions, cannabis populations will produce about a 1:1 ratio of male and female plants.
Monoecy- male and female flowers on the same plant. Is an aberration used by breeders to create relatively stable monoecious hemp cultivators.
BECAUSE artificial selection under
cultivation for certain characteristics, such as female flower forms, result in abnormal sex ratios.
Stress, the environment , and genetic factors can influence ratios of male to females and co-sexual individuals.
“French cultivars are monoecious, with male and female
flowers appearing on the same plant, and are grown primarily for making specialty paper pulp, animal bedding, and construction materials. Breeding in
“Breeding in France today is mainly aimed at maintenance
of extant cultivars (conservative breeding) and at further reduction of their THC content. Genetic homogeneity of cultivars must be maintained by careful selection of monoecious parents each year.”
“In 1913 and 1914, Lyster Dewey published results of
the USDA’s initial hemp breeding experiments begun in 1903. ”
