  • Systems, Methods, And Compositions For The Production of Water-Soluble Terpenes Derived From Cannabis Plants
    Publication number: 20210348204
    Abstract: The current inventive technology includes novel systems, methods and compositions for the in vivo production, modification and isolation of terpene compounds from Cannabis or other plants. In particular, the invention provides systems and methods for high level in vivo biosynthesis of water-soluble terpene compounds. In one preferred embodiment, the present invention generally relates to the conversion of Cannabis sativa or hemp derived terpenes into water-soluble terpene compounds, such as terpene glycosides, glycosylated-xylosylated terpenes, and an acetylated glycoside terpenes. In one preferred aspect, the invention may include system for producing water-soluble terpene compounds in yeast and tobacco cell suspension cultures, as well as an in planta system using transgenic Cannabis or hemp plants.
