Abstract: Systems and methods are described for processing a plant material, such as Cannabis and/or hemp. An example method includes: providing a slurry of plant material; providing an inert gas; adding the slurry and the inert gas to a tank; applying heat and pressure to the slurry inside the tank to generate a processed plant material; removing the processed plant material from the tank; and drying the processed plant material in a dryer to produce a dried product comprising cannabidiol (CBD).

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a white-fruited, perfect-flowered, bunch grapevine having white fruit due to a non-VvMybA1 genetic mutation. Methods for producing the grapevine can utilize or include, for example, breeding, mutagenesis, recombinant DNA, and/or gene editing. The grapevine can be used to obtain achieve new grape colors and/or new combinations of color and flavor.

Abstract: A system and method of micro dosing containers on a conveying system is disclosed. The system includes a mixing tank to maintain suspended solids in a mixture; a dosing assembly to inject micro-doses of the mixture into bottles; a recirculation assembly to circulate the mixture from the supply tank to the dosing assembly and back to the supply tank; a power and controls operation assembly to supply the system with power, to provide the system with electromechanical control and/or to provide a user interface; and a stand to hold at least the supply tank, the portable dosing assembly, the recirculation assembly and/or the power and/or controls operation assembly.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine plant named ‘EJG Three’ characterized by production of long, loose clusters of black grapes with a distinct fruity flavor. The grapes are suitable for making wine with fruity and floral (e.g., rose petal) flavors and aromas. ‘EJG Three’ vines are fertile with spur pruning.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine plant named ‘EJG Two’ characterized by its production of grapes with a distinct and pleasant sweet herbal and mint flavor. The grapes are suitable for making white wine with sweet herbal and mint flavors and aromas. ‘EJG Two’ vines are fertile with spur pruning.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of grapevine plant named ‘EJG One’ characterized by its production of deeply colored black grapes with a distinct fruity and muscat flavor. The grapes are suitable for making wine with fruity and muscat flavors and aromas. ‘EJG One’ vines are fertile with spur pruning.
