CANNABIS PLANT WITH INCREASED CANNABICHROMENIC ACID
The present technology generally relates to Cannabis plants having increased cannabichromenic acid (CBCA) and/or cannabichromene (CBC) content as well as to nucleic acids related to same and methods of producing same.
1 . A Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof, wherein the Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof has a cannabichromenic acid (CBCA) and/or cannabichromene (CBC) content greater than about 1% of total dry flower weight.
2 .- 6 . (canceled)
7 . The Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof of claim 1 , further having a total cannabinoid content of between about 3% and about 30% of total dry flower weight.
8 .- 10 . (canceled)
11 . The Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof of claim 1 , further having a cannabidiol (CBD):CBC ratio is between about 15:1 and about 1:2000.
12 . (canceled)
13 . The Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof of claim 1 , wherein the Cannabis plant is in a flowering state.
14 . The Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof of claim 1 , wherein the cannabis plant exhibits stalked glandular trichomes.
15 . The Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof of claim 1 , wherein the cannabis plant does not exhibit prolonged juvenile characteristic (PJC).
16 . The Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof of claim 1 , wherein the Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof is a hybrid Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof.
17 . The Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof of claim 16 , wherein the hybrid Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof is an asexual clone.
18 .- 59 . (canceled)
60 . A Cannabis plant comprising a variant cannabichromenic acid synthase (CBCAS) allele, wherein the expression-altering variant CBCAS allele encodes for CBCAS.
61 . The Cannabis plant of claim 60 , comprising a nucleic acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 8.
62 . The Cannabis plant of claim 60 , further having a cannabichromenic acid (CBCA) and/or cannabichromene (CBC) content greater than about 1% of total dry flower weight.
63 . The Cannabis plant of claim 60 , further having a total cannabinoid content of between about 3% and about 30% of total dry flower weight.
64 . The Cannabis plant of claim 60 , wherein the cannabis plant does not exhibit prolonged juvenile characteristic (PJC).
65 . A Cannabis plant comprising an expression-altering variant cannabichromenic acid synthase (CBCAS) allele, wherein the plant expresses a CBCAS transcript.
66 . The Cannabis plant of claim 65 , comprising a nucleic acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 8.
67 . The Cannabis plant of claim 65 , further having a cannabichromenic acid (CBCA) and/or cannabichromene (CBC) content greater than about 1% of total dry flower weight.
68 . The Cannabis plant of claim 65 , further having a total cannabinoid content of between about 3% and about 30% of total dry flower weight.
69 . The Cannabis plant of claim 65 , wherein the cannabis plant does not exhibit prolonged juvenile characteristic (PJC).
70 . The Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof of claim 1 , further having a cannabidiol (CBD):CBC ratio is between about 15:1 and about 1:1.
71 . The Cannabis plant, plant part, tissue or cell thereof of claim 1 , further having a cannabidiol (CBD):CBC ratio is between about 1:1 and about 1:25.
