Illuminating L.: The Power of Light in Enhancing Growth and Secondary Metabolite Production.

Light is crucial for higher plants, driving photosynthesis and serving as a powerful sensory signal that profoundly modulates growth, development, physiological functions, hormone activation, and biochemical pathways. Various light parameters-quality, intensity, composition, and photoperiod-exert a tremendous influence on plant growth and development, particularly in industrial hemp ( L.).

Identification of Antagonistic Action of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids in Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor M1 by Computational Target Prediction Analysis.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are one of the largest distributed classes of toxins in nature. They have a wide range of toxicity, such as hepatotoxicity, pulmonary toxicity, neuronal toxicity, and carcinogenesis. Yet, biological targets responsible for these effects are not well addressed.
