Effect of Vermicompost Extract and Vermicompost-Derived Humic Acids on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Hemp
2017
Abstract Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) cultivars grown for industrial use have recently emerged as a sustainable alternative source of industrial fibre and bioenergy, and is a highly valuable food and animal feed resource. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of vermicompost extract, vermicompost mineral nutrient composition, and vermicompost-derived humic and fulvic acids on seed germination and growth of hemp seedlings. In general, separate application of all vermicompost components stimulated seed germination and hypocotyl and radicle growth, as well as increased chlorophyll concentration in cotyledons. Effective concentration range and the degree of stimulation varied sig…
Physiological Aspects of Nitrogen Fertilizer Impact on Latvian Origin Cannabis Sativa L .
2015
The aim of the present study was to evaluate nitrogen fertilizer impact on photosynthesis and yield of hemp, applying modern non-destructive methods. The main object of the investigation – hemp cultivar of Latvian origin ‘Pūriņi’. Laboratory and field experiments showed diverse effects of different nitrogen fertilizer doses on various parameters. Additional nitrogen fertilizer dose of 60 kg ha-1 is most effective as evaluated by chlorophyll content in hemp leaves and changes of chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters. Nitrogen fertilizer negatively affected fiber content in hemp stems, therefore while cultivating hemp only for fiber production use of nitrogen fertilizer should be reduced. Acc…
Physical Properties of Latvian Hemp Fibres
2015
Each year more and more people focus on healthy, ecological and environmental-friendly living. Environmentally friendly lifestyle doesn’t mean that we are using only natural products, but attention is pointed to the manufacturing and production process also. The rapid development of recycled and biodegradable products causes expanding usage of hemp fibers both in household and technical textiles. The analysis of hemp cultivation and usage trends in the world and Europe shows that hemp cultivation and processing in Latvia has good perspectives. Product quality is influenced by raw materials. In this case it is hemp fiber descriptive characteristics. Hemp fibers are natural fibers and their p…
How many sites of action for endocannabinoids to control energy metabolism?
2006
The promising results obtained by clinical trials using Rimonabant to tackle visceral obesity and related disorders recently promoted a remarkable impulse to carry out detailed investigations into the mechanisms of action of endocannabinoids in regulating food intake and energy metabolism. The endocannabinoid system has been known for many years to play an important role in the modulation of the neuronal pathways mediating the rewarding properties of food. However, in the last few years, with the advanced understanding of the crucial role of the hypothalamic neuronal network in the regulation of appetite, several studies have also directed attention to the orexigenic role of the endocannabi…
Effects of natural extracts in the treatment of oral ulcers: A systematic review of evidence from experimental studies in animals
2021
Background To evaluate the clinical and histopathological effects of natural extracts in the treatment of oral ulcers induced in animal experimental models. Material and methods We carried out a search in the Medline, Scopus, WoS and Embase databases from the start of the databases to December 2020, and also made a manual search of the references. The search and selection were carried out by two researchers independently. The inclusion criteria were: experimental studies in animal models, in english, which complied with the study object. Results A total of 705 articles were identified. After selection by title, abstract and full text, 19 articles were finally included. Natural extracts of J…
Ķīmisko elemenu uzkrāšanās sējas kaņepēs (Cannabis sativa L.) dzelzsceļam pieguļošajās teritorijās Vecumnieku pagastā
2022
Mūsdienās, arvien vairāk palielinoties cilvēku skaitam, tiek palielināta ražošana un rūpniecība, kas neizbēgami rada piesārņojumu. Tādēļ arvien aktuālāks kļūst jautājums par piesārņotu vietu rekultivāciju, jo šajā tehnoloģiju laikmetā cilvēki vairāk pievērš uzmanību apkārtējai videi un tās kvalitātei, apzinoties, cik svarīgi ir to saglabāt nākamajām paaudzēm. Ir svarīgi izvēlēties pareizās piesārņojuma attīrīšanas metodes, lai videi netiktu nodarīts vēl lielāks kaitējums, un, lai metode būtu efektīva un ilgtspējīga. Lai arī ir izstrādātas dažādas metodes piesārņotu vielu rekultivācijai, tieši bioloģiskās – fitorekultivācijas - metodes ir vienas no aktuālākajām, jo tās neradīs papildus piesā…
Analysis of Phenolic Compounds in Commercial
2019
Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L. Family Cannabaceae) contains a vast number of bioactive relevant compounds, namely polyphenols including flavonoids, phenolic acids, phenol amides, and lignanamides, well known for their therapeutic properties. Nowadays, many polyphenols-containing products made of herbal extracts are marketed, claiming to exert health-promoting effects. In this context, industrial hemp inflorescence may represent an innovative source of bioactive compounds to be used in nutraceutical formulations. The aim of this work was to provide a comprehensive analysis of the polyphenolic fraction contained in polar extracts of four different commercial cultivars (Kompoti, Tiborszal…

effect of the extraction of proteins from hemp press-cakes on their functionalities
2019
Plant proteins are a coherent option to feed the planet while limiting global warming. Common proteins (wheat, soya and maize) will soon no longer be sufficient to meet the increased demand for proteins. This thesis focuses on the development of a new source of plant protein for human consumption, based on a co-product of the oil mill: hemp proteins from press-cake. To meet this objective, the three main lines of action are: the definition of extraction conditions, the study of the physico-chemical properties of the isolates extracted under the defined conditions and the study of their emulsifying properties. The data in the literature on the extraction of hemp proteins are limited and not …
Vietējās kaņepju šķirnes „Pūriņi” augu ploiditātes un genotipu atšķirības molekulāro marķieru un eļļas specifisko īpašību nosakošo gēnu līmenī
2015
Sējas kaņepes (Cannabis sativ, L.) ir lauksaimniecībā nozīmīgs kultūraugs. Eiropas Savienības valstīs, arī Latvijā strauji pieaug interese par kaņepju audzēšanu. Pašlaik Latvijā nav savas sējas kaņepju šķirnes, kas būtu piemērotas sēklu iegūšanai. Jaunu šķirņu ātrākai iegūšanai ļoti nozīmīgas ir in vitro metodes, molekulāro metodžu izmantošana un iekļaušana selekcijas shēmā, tādēļ šim darbam ir sekojošs mērķis: vietējo kaņepju ‘Pūriņi’ in vitro kultivēšana, augu ģenētiskās daudzveidības un ploiditātes noteikšana, metilēšanas noteikšanas metodes izstrāde Δ12 un Δ15 desaturāzes gēnam. Veicot molekulāri ģenētisko analīzi izmantojot iPBS metodi konstatēts, ka vietējās kaņepes ‘Puriņi’ populācij…
