This article explores what we do and don’t know about the origins of Cannabis ssp. from a botanical perspective and outlines some of the hypotheses proposed to explain the “why” of cannabinoid production in plants and the approaches that researchers are taking to try and answer this elusive question.

Here we explore the role that terpenes play in plant immunity, defense, and signaling.

Here we discuss the ways in which chemical pesticides interact with plant physiology.

Part I of this article series focuses on the physiology of heavy metal transport and translocation into and within plant tissues.
