Cannabis sativa (marijuana) plants bearing only female flowers (female plants) are cultivated for theproduction of cannabinoids (a group of psychoactive plant specialized metabolites typified by THC). However,female cannabis flowers can develop male organs (revert) in response to environmental ques, hormonal signals,and stress. Pollen from these induced male flowers fertilizes female flowers leading to a significant reductionin cannabinoid production. The main objectives of this research are to develop a database of genes that controlflower development in cannabis plants, and identify those responsible for flower reversion.

只有雌花的大麻（大麻）植物（雌性植物）被种植用于生产大麻素（一组以四氢大麻酚为代表的精神活性植物专门代谢物）。然而，雌性大麻花可以根据环境问题、激素信号和压力发育雄性器官（恢复）。来自这些诱导雄花的花粉使雌花受精，导致大麻素产量显著减少。这项研究的主要目标是建立一个控制大麻植物开花发育的基因数据库，并确定那些负责开花恢复的基因。
