Histological and compositional determinants of hemp stem quality

Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is a sustainable crop with high-performance fibers that offer a renewable alternative to synthetic materials. However, fiber extractability and yield vary greatly among genotypes. My research aims to understand how stem morphology, tissue organization, and cell wall composition influence hemp stem quality. By combining imaging, biochemical, and molecular approaches, I identify key determinants of stem quality to support the selection of hemp varieties optimized for fiber-based applications.
