In vivo generation of water-soluble cannabinoids in plant cell suspension cultures

1. A method of glycosylating a cannabinoid, comprising the steps of:

(a) establishing a tobacco cell suspension culture of Nicotiana tabacum or Nicotiana benthamiana cells;

(b) introducing into said tobacco cell suspension culture a cannabinoid, wherein the cannabinoid is cannabidiol (CBD) or cannabidiolic acid (CBDA);

(c) incubating said cannabinoid in said tobacco cell suspension culture, thereby glycosylating the cannabinoid;

(d) isolating a cannabinoid glycoside from said tobacco cell suspension culture, wherein the cannabinoid glycoside is a CBD-glycoside or a CBDA-glycoside.
