Abstract
Novel Cannabis varieties designated NWG 4000 and NWG 2463 are provided. This disclosure thus relates to the seeds of Cannabis variety NWG 4000 or NWG 2463, to the plants of Cannabis variety NWG 4000 or NWG 2463, to plant parts of Cannabis variety NWG 4000 or NWG 2463, to methods for producing a Cannabis plant by crossing a plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000 or NWG 24633 with a plant of another Cannabis variety, and to methods for producing a plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000 or NWG 2463 containing in its genetic material one or more backcross conversion traits or transgenes and to the backcross conversion Cannabis plants and plant parts produced by those methods.
Claims27
A seed of Cannabis variety NWG 4000, wherein representative seed of the variety has been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202303018.
A method of vegetatively propagating a plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000, the method comprising:
- (a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000, wherein representative seed of the variety has been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202303018;
- (b) cultivating the tissue to obtain proliferated shoots;
- and
- (c) rooting the proliferated shoots to obtain a rooted plantlet.
A method for producing a progeny plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000, comprising:
- crossing a Cannabis plant of variety NWG 4000 with itself or with another Cannabis plant, wherein representative seed of the variety has been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202303018;
- harvesting the resultant seed;
- and
- growing the seed.
A method of introducing a desired trait into Cannabis variety NWG 4000, the method comprising:
- (a) crossing a plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000 with a plant of another Cannabis variety that comprises the desired trait to produce an F1 progeny plant, wherein representative seed of the variety has been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202303018;
- (b) selecting at least a first progeny plant that comprises the desired trait to produce a selected progeny plant;
- (c) crossing the selected progeny plant with a plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000 to produce at least a first backcross progeny plant that comprises the desired trait;
- (d) selecting for at least backcross progeny plant that has the desired trait and otherwise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of a plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000 to produce at least one selected backcross progeny plant;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) three or more times in succession to produce a selected fourth or higher backcross progeny plant that comprises the desired trait and otherwise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of a plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000.
A method of producing a plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000 comprising at least one new trait, the method comprising:
- introducing a transgene conferring the at least one new trait into a plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000, wherein representative seed of the variety has been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202303018.
A method of comparing and/or characterizing the genotype of a plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000, the method comprising:
- obtaining a sample of nucleic acids from the plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000, wherein representative seed of the variety has been deposited under NCMA Accession No. 202303018;
- obtaining a sample of nucleic acids from a plant of a reference Cannabis variety;
- comparing the nucleic acids obtained from the plant of Cannabis variety NWG 4000 to the sample of nucleic acids obtained from the reference plant, and
- detecting a plurality of polymorphisms between the two nucleic acid samples, wherein the plurality of polymorphisms is indicative of Cannabis variety NWG 4000 and/or gives rise to the expression of any one or more, or all, of the physiological and morphological characteristics of Cannabis variety NWG 4000.
