“…In this regard, systems biology [1,2] is well-equipped to integrate findings and define the genetic variability and functional metabolites [3] in a model plant system. Model plant research, such as that of well-known Arabidopsis thaliana [4][5][6][7] and the extensively-studied medicinal plant, Papaver somniferum [8][9][10][11][12], highlight the significance of gathering information about regulation of plant fitness and homeostatic mechanisms of metabolites [13] orchestrated by the host genome and its affiliated microbial metagenome [14]. Such an approach notably reveals the importance of the plant's genome-microbiome interactions [15], which changes under stress or disease conditions [16,17] as plants selectively source their microbiomes to suit their needs [18,19].…”

Cannabis legalization has occurred in several countries worldwide. Along with steadily growing research in Cannabis healthcare science, there is an increasing interest for scientific-based knowledge in plant microbiology and food science, with work connecting the plant microbiome and plant health to product quality across the value chain of cannabis. This review paper provides an overview of the state of knowledge and challenges in Cannabis science, and thereby identifies critical risk management and safety issues in order to capitalize on innovations while ensuring product quality control. It highlights scientific gap areas to steer future research, with an emphasis on plant-microbiome sciences committed to using cutting-edge technologies for more efficient Cannabis production and high-quality products intended for recreational, pharmaceutical, and medicinal use.

“…Modern poppy varieties are classified into three broad categories, as their respective utilization reflects the breeding purpose [11]. The industrial category represents varieties with generally high alkaloid content or varieties producing high amounts of specific chemical compounds like thebaine or noscapine [5].…”

High-quality simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are invaluable tools for revealing genetic variability which could be utilized for many purposes, such as breeding new varieties or the identifying current ones, among other applications. Based on the analysis of 3.7 million EST sequences and 15 genomic sequences from bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries, 200 trinucleotide genic (EST)-SSR and three genomic (gSSR) markers were tested, where 17 of them fulfilled all criteria for quality markers. Moreover, the reproducibility of these new markers was verified by two genetics laboratories, with a mean error rate per allele and per locus equal to 0.17%. These markers were tested on 38 accessions of Papaver somniferum and nine accessions of another five species of the Papaver and Argemone genera. In total, 118 alleles were detected for all accessions (median = 7; three to ten alleles per locus) and 88 alleles (median = 5; three to nine alleles per locus) within P. somniferum alone. Multivariate methods and identity analysis revealed high resolution capabilities of the new markers, where all but three pair accessions (41 out of 47) had a unique profile and opium poppy was distinguished from other species.

“…Several herbal medicines have significant action on the central nervous system. Many of them have also become important sources of modern drugs, including atropine ( Atropa belladonna L.), morphine ( Papaver somniferum L.), caffeine ( Coffea arabica L.), and ephedrine ( Ephedra sinica Stapf) [[31], [32], [33], [34], [35]]. Data also show that some species are still used as an abuse drug or due their recreational potential (e.g., Erythroxylum coca Lam.…”
