Abstract: The present invention discloses a modified Cannabis plant exhibiting enhanced resistance to powdery mildew (PM). The aforementioned modified Cannabis plant comprises a mutated Cannabis mlo1 (Csmlo1) allele comprising a genomic modification selected from an indel of 14 bp at position corresponding to position 12 of SEQ ID NO: 882, or a fraction thereof, or a nucleic acid insertion at position corresponding to position 104-105 of SEQ ID NO: 882, or a combination thereof. The present invention further discloses methods for production of the modified Cannabis plant using genome modification.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a modified Cannabis plant exhibiting at least one improved domestication trait compared with wild type Cannabis, wherein the modified plant comprises at least one mutated Cannabis SELF PRUNING (SP) (CsSP) gene and/or at least one mutated Cannabis SELF PRUNING 5G (SP5G) (CsSP5G) gene. The present invention further discloses methods for production of the aforementioned modified Cannabis plant using genome modification.
Abstract: A modified Cannabis plant exhibiting enhanced resistance to powdery mildew (PM). The aforementioned modified Cannabis plant comprises a targeted genome modification conferring reduced expression of at least one Cannabis MLO (CsMLO) allele as compared to a Cannabis plant lacking said targeted genome modification. Methods for production of the modified Cannabis plant using genome modification.
