Abstract
Genes associated with varin production in Cannabis plants are provided. Plants that produce varins, or that have increased varin production, and methods of identifying or generating such plants, are also provided.
Claims25
A method of producing a Cannabis plant that produces varins or has increased varin production, comprising:
- (i) obtaining a nucleic acid sample from a Cannabis plant or its germplasm;
- (ii) detecting one or more nucleic acid polymorphisms in:
- (a) ISS1,
- (b) ALT4,
- (c) FATB,
- (d) KR, or
- (e) GDSL1;
- wherein the one or more nucleic acid polymorphisms are associated with increased varin production,
- (iii) selecting a Cannabis plant comprising the one or more nucleic acid polymorphisms associated with increased varin production, and
- (iv) crossing the selected plant to obtain a progeny plant comprising the one or more nucleic acid polymorphisms associated with increased varin production, thereby producing the Cannabis plant that produces varins or has increased varin production.

A method of producing a genetically modified Cannabis plant, comprising introducing a genetic modification in the Cannabis plant, wherein the genetic modification is in ALT4, KR, FATB, GDSL1, or ISS1.
24-28. (canceled)
A method of producing a modified Cannabis plant having increased varin production, comprising introducing a heterologous beneficial allele of ALT4, KR, FATB, or GDSL1 associated with increased varin production.
