Abstract
Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.,) Cannabinaceae is an annual herbaceous plant, which is dioecious naturally. Iranian germplasm of medicinal and none-medicinal hemps is rich. More than 480 chemical compounds have been found in the plant, with cannabinoids being special and unique to the plant. The two principal cannabinoids are ∆9-THC and CBD. OPLC, HPLC, and UPLC are suitable methods to analyze cannabinoids. In order to assess various ecotypes of hemp under water deficit, a split-plot trial arranged in a randomized complete block design with two replications was conducted at Department of Horticulture, University of Tehran, Iran. 47 Ecotypes of Iran were the main factor, and water deficit was the sub main factor.
