Mainly due to its crucial role in the therapeutic and psychoactive properties of Cannabis sativa L. species, the vast majority of cannabis floral biology studies are focused on the female flower. However, the cannabis male flower can play a key role in the breeding of the species.
It is really interesting to see how pollen can contribute to cannabis breeding through androgenesis, a promising alternative for development of double haploid plants and genetic standardization of C. sativa traits.
Approximately one month ago it was published a scientific article concerning this topic in Frontiers in Plant Science journal. You can download it for free at the following link:

Microgametophyte Development in Cannabis sativa L. and First Androgenesis Induction Through Microspore Embryogenesis
Development of double haploids is an elusive current breeding objective in Cannabis sativa L. We have studied the whole process of anther and pollen grain formation during meiosis, microsporogenesis, and microgametogenesis and correlated the different microgametophyte developmental stages with...
