STUDY: Identification of candidate genes affecting Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol biosynthesis in Cannabis sativa
ABSTRACT: RNA isolated from the glands of a Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA)-producing strain of Cannabis sativa was used to generate a cDNA library containing over 100 000 expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Sequencing of over 2000 clones from the library resulted in the identification of over 1000 unigenes. Candidate genes for almost every step in the biochemical pathways ... Continue Reading
