Variability in hemp (Cannabis sativa)

A study exploring phenotypic and genetic variability in ten hemp cultivars. Five monoecious French fibre cultivars Fedora 17, Santhica 27, Felina 32, Futura, Futura 75, two accessions of the dioecious hungarian fibre cultivar Kompolti, dioecious oilseed cultivar Finola, and dioecious landraces Georgien and Korea. This study offers valuable insights into the understanding of the extensive genetic and phenotypic diversity within various hemp cultivars. While there are studies focused on understanding the genetic basis of individual agronomically significant traits, our research emphasises the necessity of comprehensive assessments at this broader level to fully grasp the complexity and potential of hemp's genetic diversity for future breeding efforts yielding cultivars with more uniform performance in key agronomic traits.

本研究针对10个大麻栽培品种的表型（phenotypic）与遗传（genetic）变异展开探索。其中包括5个雌雄同株（monoecious）的法国纤维用大麻品种：Fedora 17、Santhica 27、Felina 32、Futura、Futura 75；2份雌雄异株（dioecious）的匈牙利纤维用大麻种质资源（accessions）Kompolti；1个雌雄异株（dioecious）的油料用大麻品种Finola；以及雌雄异株（dioecious）的地方品种（landraces）Georgien与Korea。本研究为深入理解各类大麻栽培品种中广泛存在的遗传与表型多样性提供了重要参考。尽管已有诸多研究聚焦于解析单个农艺重要性状（agronomically significant traits）的遗传基础，但本研究强调，需开展此类更具全局性的综合评估，才能充分掌握大麻遗传多样性的复杂性与应用潜力，从而助力未来育种工作，培育出在关键农艺性状上表现更一致的大麻品种。
