Title : Agrobiotechnological experiences: Cannabis spp. as a new form of production in the desert regions of the world
Abstract:
Secondary metabolites are a source of active ingredients in medications and valuable chemical products, whose pharmaceutical applications are due to their function as analgesics, antibacterials, antihepatotoxics, antioxidants, antivirals, antitumors, fungicides and/or immunostimulants. sativa, is a herbaceous plant that grows spontaneously in tropical and subtropical regions; Between 400 and 537 chemical components called secondary metabolites have been identified and about 100 are cannabinoids. In recent years it has intensified in the use of medical fines. The expression “medicinal cannabis” refers to the use, recommended by the doctor, of the plant and its components, called cannabinoids, to treat diseases or reduce symptoms. Chronic pain in people is the most common reason cited for using “medical cannabis.” Studies show that metabolites under adverse conditions (high and/or low temperatures, salinity, pH, use of brackish water or seawater) and the inoculation of halo-thermotloerants-bacteria that promote plant growth, can increase their effectiveness and quantity. In the northwest of Mexico, there is an interest in evaluating the effect of the edaphoclimatic conditions presented by the Sonoran Desert to evaluate the quality and quantity of chemical components, including cannabinoids, and that is why this information addresses in pronouncing the importance of deserts, halophytes as prospects tolerant to salinity and for agroindustrial use, irrigation with brackish water or seawater, secondary metabolites, cannabinoids, CBD, halobacteria that promote plant growth.
Audience Takeaway:
- The audience will be able to identify the importance of agrobiotechnological techniques to produce CBD and its importance; It will help you expand your knowledge about the Cannabis plant; You will realize that the research generated can be replicated and that the results generated can expand knowledge about secondary metabolites in the Cannabis genus, among other more aspects.
