The present invention relates to a method for producing haploid, dihaploid, polyhaploid and/or doubled haploid plants of the family Cucurbitaceae from isolated microspores, wherein said method comprises a) culturing isolated microspores to obtain embryos competent for plant regeneration, wherein the microspores have been isolated from plant material of a donor plant of the family Cucurbitaceae; and b) regenerating plants from the embryos; wherein step (a) comprises contacting the microspores with one or more inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDACi) and one or more polyamine. The present invention also relates to a method for producing haploid, dihaploid, polyhaploid and/or doubled haploid embryos, to related kits and compositions, and to plants obtained according to the methods.

The present invention relates to a method for producing Cannabis sativa L. seed, and more particularly, to a method for producing Cannabis sativa L. seed for efficiently cultivating a low-narcotic Cannabis variety, and when Cannabis sativa L. seeds produced by the production method are used, it is possible to cultivate Cannabis female plants where female flowers are formed, and it is possible to improve the quantity of Cannabis female flowers. Further, when a Cannabis extract is prepared using the Cannabis female flowers, it is possible to prepare a low-narcotic Cannabis extract.
