  • Medicinal Properties of Cannabis According to Medieval Manuscripts of Azerbaijan
    Medicinal Properties of Cannabis According to Medieval Manuscripts of Azerbaijan Farid U. Alakbarov ABSTRACT. Azerbaijani people have rich and ancient traditions in the medicinal use of cannabis. The traditional methods of its application are described in the medieval Azerbaijani manuscripts in the field of medi- cine and pharmacognosy written in Old Azerbaijani, Persian, Arabic and date back to the 9-18th centuries AD. As a result of these studies, it was established that various parts (the roots, resin, leaves and seeds) of Cannabis sativa L. were widely used in traditional medicine of medi- eval Azerbaijan. Recently, a number of forgotten recipes of the medi- cines containing cannabis have been deciphered. These recipes of the Middle Ages may be applied in modern medicine once they have been experimentally and clinically tested.

Jalal Aliyev was a distinguished and respected plant biologist of our time, a great teacher, and great human being. He was a pioneer of photosynthesis research in Azerbaijan. Academician Aliyev was deeply involved in dynamic research on several aspects of photosynthesis for 65 years; he focused mainly on the important crop wheat; this research was integrative in its approach, involving physiological, biophysical, biochemical, and the molecular-genetic bases of plant productivity, as well as on the production processes of the structural-functional organization of plants-from the molecular level to the whole plant. Jalal Aliyev instigated also the development of new directions of research, namely molecular biology, molecular genetics, gene and cellular biotechnology, mathematical and computational biology, and bioinformatics as applied to crop productivity in Azerbaijan.
