  • POWDERY MILDEW MARKERS FOR CANNABIS
    Publication number: 20240117450
    Abstract: Provided herein is the identification of markers and genes associated with powdery mildew susceptibility and resistance in Cannabis. The markers are useful for breeding Cannabis plants having resistance to powdery mildew, and methods for selecting plants by obtaining nucleic acids and detecting one or more markers that indicate resistance to powdery mildew to establish plant lines having such resistance are provided.

  • Varin markers
    Patent number: 11920187
    Abstract: Provided herein is the identification of markers associated with THCV, THCVA, CBDV, CBDVA, CBGV, or CBGVA production in Cannabis plants and their use in selecting Cannabis plants having modified THCV, THCVA, CBDV, CBDVA, CBGV, or CBGVA activity. The markers are useful for breeding plants having modified varin activity, including elevated THCV levels, by obtaining nucleic acids, detecting one or more markers that indicate modified varin activity, and establishing plant lines having such characteristics.

  • VARIN PROFILES
    Publication number: 20230255159
    Abstract: The present invention discloses cannabis plants, seeds and other plant parts, tissue cultures, and products having elevated levels of varin molecules, including tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) and/or cannabidivarin (CBDV). Each of THCV and CBDV have unique pharmacological profiles with distinct molecular targets, and can be used as agents for antiepileptic or anticonvulsant activity, obesity-associated glucose intolerance, appetite suppression, anxiety management for PTSD, diabetic neuropathy, or major neuropathic and pain related pathologies.

  • Autoflowering Markers
    Publication number: 20230242932
    Abstract: Provided herein is the identification and markers and genes associated with day-neutral autoflowering in plants and their use in selecting plants, including Cannabis plants, having autoflowering activity. The markers are useful for breeding autoflowering plants by obtaining nucleic acids, detecting one or more markers that indicate autoflowering activity, and establishing plant lines having such characteristics. Also provided are methods of editing plants to establish plant lines having autoflowering allelic variations.
