Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method for extracting cannabis-derived proteins from cannabis plant material, including the preparation of samples of extracted cannabis-derived proteins for proteomic analysis and methods for analysing a cannabis plant proteome.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of determining the terpene profile of cannabis plant material, specifically through use of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Extraction methods include liquid based extraction methods, specifically hexane based liquid extraction methods, and headspace extraction methods, specifically static headspace extraction and headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME). Static headspace and HS-SPME are shown to be better for monoterpene extraction, and hexane based liquid extraction for sesquiterpene extraction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acids encoding amino acid sequences for the biosynthesis of janthitrem in janthitrem producing endophytes. The present invention also relates to constructs and vectors including such nucleic acids, and related polypeptides, regulatory elements and methods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to determining the chemotype profile of cannabis plant material through determining cannabinoid content of the plant material using near infrared spectroscopy. The invention also involves the training of a classifier to determine the chemotype profile of a cannabis plant from the spectroscopic data.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to new cannabis plants, including parts, extracts and uses thereof, comprising a cannabinoid profile enriched for total THC (i.e., ?-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and ?-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), total CBG (i.e., cannabigerol (CBG) and cannabigerolic acid (CBGA)), and total THCV (i.e., tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) and tetrahydrocannabivarinic acid (THCVA)).

Abstract: The present invention relates to medicinal cannabis plants, and cannabis plant-derived products. In particular, the present invention relates to medicinal cannabis plants having a desired cannabinoid content, methods of selecting cannabis plants having a desired cannabinoid content, chemotype and/or sex, extraction therefrom, and uses thereof. The present invention also relates to genetic markers for identifying and selecting cannabis plants having a desired chemotype and/or sex and uses thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new methods of selecting and breeding organisms, in particular organisms which exhibit symbiotic behaviour with symbionts, and to new organisms and symbiota developed thereby, such as plant or grass and endophyte symbiota. Multiple symbionts are deployed in multiple organsims and selected for improved symbiotic compatibility and performance early in the breeding process. Methods include producing improved organisms from germplasm, by inoculating host organism germplasm libraries with symbionts seleced from symbiont libraries and selecting improved host organisms exhibiting desired symbiota characteristics, and selection of organism-symbiont associations with a desired genetic and metabolic profile by metagenomic analysis of nucleic acid libraries from an organism or organism-symbiont.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying and/or characterising an endophyte strain, said method including providing a plurality of samples of endophytes, subjecting said endophytes to genetic analysis; subjecting said endophytes to metabolic analysis and selecting endophytes having a desired genetic and metabolic profile. The present invention also relates to novel endophytes having a desired toxin profile wherein the endophyte produces significantly less toxic alkaloids compared with a control endophyte such as standard toxic (ST) endophyte; and/or significantly more alkaloids conferring beneficial properties compared with a control endophyte such as ST endophyte. The present invention also relates to endophyte variants having a desired genetic and metabolic profile, wherein said endophyte variants possess genetic and/or metabolic characteristics that result in a beneficial phenotype in a plant harbouring or otherwise associated with the endophyte variant.
