The task of our research was to determine the retention strength of cannabis seeds in the inflorescence of a low-yielding dioecious variety YUS-9 and a monoecious variety Diana prone to shedding, and in this regard, to study the anatomical and morphological features of the structure of their bracts and morphological features of the structure of their bracts and the area of attachment of seeds to the peduncle. Based on the conducted studies, it was revealed that the larger the area of attachment of seeds to the peduncle and the more developed the bracts, the higher the retention strength of hemp seeds in the inflorescence. When selecting cannabis for resistance to shedding, it is necessary to take into account the anatomical and morphological features of the structure of the bracts and the size of the area of attachment of seeds to the peduncle. The developed technique makes it possible to characterize the variety or the initial breeding material by the strength of the retention of seeds in the inflorescence.
