Abstract: A recombinant protein for use in a liquid culture medium for photo-autotrophic micropropagation of Cannabis sativa L. is disclosed. The recombinant protein comprises a fusion of a growth induction part and a uptake enhancement part. The growth induction part comprises an Arabinogalactan protein and/or a plant transcription factor associated with plant growth and development. The uptake enhancement part comprises a cell penetrating peptide sequence and a nuclear localization signal encoded by the peptide sequence SEQ ID NO 1.

Abstract: A composition comprising a compound that comprises or consists of a conjugation of 6-hydroxymelatonin and 6-methylsufinylhexyl isothiocyanate is disclosed, as well as this composition for the use as a medicament. Furthermore, this composition for the use in a method of treating and/or preventing an epithelial tissue disease and/or disorder is disclosed.

Abstract: A power plant for energy production from a liquid gas product stored in a cryogenic storage tank, and comprises a container housing and an inlet to receive the gas product from the tank via a line. An evaporation unit converts the liquid gas product to a gaseous phase. The plant comprises an aggregate for the combustion of the gaseous phase to provide an electrical current to an external consumer. A circuit brings the liquid and/or gaseous phase to the motor via the evaporation unit. A regulating unit regulates the pressure and/or temperature. The liquid gas product is supplied to the motor in the gaseous phase by passive liquid and gas transport. A cooling circuit transfers heat from the motor to a heat exchanger in the evaporation unit.

Abstract: A biopolymer is disclosed that comprises a polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), or a derivative or modification thereof, having a molecular weight in the range of 400 kDa to 3200 kDa, and an anionic and ampholytic heteropolysaccharide having sulfate and carboxyl groups and a molecular weight in the range of 14 MDa and 16 MDa, in which the polydeoxyribonucleotide and the heteropolysaccharide are crosslinked by genipin or an analogue or derivative thereof. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods of producing such biopolymer and uses thereof.

Abstract: A method of producing isothiocyanates includes forming, in a semi-solid or solid callus induction medium, compact callus aggregates from cells obtained from explant material of a Brassica oleracea L. plant. The method includes transferring cells from the callus aggregates, e.g. transferring the callus aggregates, to a suspension culture in a liquid medium in a shake flask, the liquid medium containing a plurality of elicitors. The method further involves transferring, after culturing in the shake flask, cells from the suspension culture to a further suspension culture in a bioreactor containing the elicitors. The method includes extracting and/or purifying of at least one isothiocyanate from cells obtained from the bioreactor. The elicitors have chitosan and salicylic acid to increase accumulation of benzyl isothiocyanate or any other isothiocyanate.

Abstract: A nucleic acid molecule is disclosed for transiently transforming a plant to produce ?9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase, cannabidiolic acid synthase, and/or cannabichromenic acid synthase. The nucleic acid molecule corresponds to a nucleotide sequence comprising at least one of a nucleotide sequence fragment encoding a polypeptide having at least 78% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO:5 or SEQ ID NO:6 or comprising at least 15 contiguous nucleotides of the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO:5 or SEQ ID NO:6. The nucleotide sequence further comprises a KDEL or HDEL retrieval tag for targeting the nucleotide sequence to the endoplasmic reticulum. Further aspects relate to a viral vector comprising such nucleic acid molecule, and to methods for producing THCAS, CBDAS, CBCAS, THCA, CBDA, CBCA, THC, CBD and/or CBC based on transient expression of the nucleic acid sequence in a host plant.
