A new and distinct variety of Cannabis sativa (L.), named PAN2020 is characterized by its unique cannabinoid profile, specifically with respect to its high cannabigerol (CBG) content and lack of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). The new variety resulted from the cross breeding of two Cannabis sativa (L.) clones performed by the inventor and has been asexually reproduced to ensure the resulting clones exhibit the same features and properties as the parent.

Provided is a method of producing a cured tobacco material having an enhanced threonine content. The present invention provides a method of producing a cured tobacco material having an enhanced threonine content, wherein the cured tobacco material is produced from a modified tobacco plant which has been modified such that expression or activity of an endogenous threonine aldolase is reduced or from a part of the modified tobacco plant.

The present invention provides a new and distinct cannabis cultivar designated as BIHEMP 050924. Disclosed herein are main terpenes of BIHEMP 050924, which are beta-caryophyllene, limonene, alpha-humulene, linalool, myrcene, trans-ocimene, beta-pinene, fenchol, and alpha-terpineol. Also, the present invention provides the estimated concentration of the THC.sub.max, CBD.sub.max, and CBG.sub.max, about 0.21-0.43%, about 5.02-10.86%, and about 0.10-0.72%, respectively, at the time of assaying metabolites from flower samples of BIHEMP 050924.

Compositions and methods for providing desired cannabinoid content in cannabis plants. More particularly, the invention relates to compositions and methods for using cannabinoid synthase paralogs as guidance for breeding cannabis plants with a desired cannabinoid content, including but not limited to cultivars, varieties, lines and methods of breeding the same for commercial use.

The present invention provides a means for accurately discriminating whether an onion is an onion with no pungent taste and/or tear-inducing property. The present invention relates to a method of discriminating traits of an onion, comprising a first determination step of determining presence of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 corresponding to alliinase gene 1 in a nucleic acid derived from the onion, and a second determination step of determining presence of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 corresponding to alliinase gene 2, wherein the onion is discriminated to be an onion with no pungent taste and/or tear-inducing property if the presence of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:1 is not determined in the first determination step and the presence of the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 is determined in the second determination step.

The present invention provides a new and distinct Cannabis cultivar designated as RAINBOW GUMMEEZ. Disclosed herein are main terpenes of RAINBOW GUMMEEZ which are terpinolene, myreene, alpha-pinene, alpha-terpineol, trans-ocimene, beta-pinene, and beta caryophyllene. Also, the present invention provides the estimated concentration of the THC.sub.max, CBD.sub.max and CBG.sub.max, about 4.37-7.87%, about 5.18-9.48%, and about 0.14-0.60%, respectively, at the time of assaying metabolites from flower samples of RAINBOW GUMMEEZ.

The present invention provides a new and distinct cannabis cultivar designated as RASPBERRY PUNCH. Disclosed herein are main terpenes of RASPBERRY PUNCH, which are limonene, myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, linalool, alpha-humulene, alpha-bisabolol, and beta-pinene. Also, the present invention provides the estimated concentration of the THC.sub.max, CBD.sub.max, and CBG.sub.max, about 4.94-8.64%, about 12.04-17.74%, and about 0.59-1.01%, respectively, at the time of assaying metabolites from flower samples of RASPBERRY PUNCH.

Compositions and methods for reducing the level of nornicotine and N-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) in Nicotiana plants and plant parts thereof are provided. The compositions comprise isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides for cytochrome P450s that are involved in the metabolic conversion of nicotine to nornicotine in these plants. Expression cassettes, vectors, plants, and plant parts thereof comprising inhibitory sequences that target expression or function of the disclosed cytochrome P450 polypeptides are also provided. Methods for the use of these novel sequences to inhibit expression or function of cytochrome P450 polypeptides involved in this metabolic conversion are also provided. The methods find use in the production of tobacco products that have reduced levels of nornicotine and its carcinogenic metabolite, NNN, and thus reduced carcinogenic potential for individuals consuming these tobacco products or exposed to secondary smoke derived from these products.

The present invention provides a new and distinct cannabis cultivar designated as HOLY CRUNCH. Disclosed herein are main terpenes of HOLY CRUNCH, which are beta-caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, linalool, alpha-humulene, trans-ocimene, alpha-bisabolol, and alpha-pinene. Also, the present invention provides the estimated concentration of the THC.sub.max, CBD.sub.max, and CBG.sub.max, about 6.56-16.74%, about 6.49-15.28%, and about 0.25-1.87%, respectively, at the time of assaying metabolites from flower samples of HOLY CRUNCH.

The present invention provides a new and distinct cannabis cultivar designated as CAKE BATTER COOKIES. Disclosed herein are main terpenes of CAKE BATTER COOKIES, which are limonene, beta-caryophyllene, beta-pinene, linalool, alpha-humulene, alpha-pinene, fenchol, myrcene, alpha-bisabolol, and alpha-terpineol. Also, the present invention provides the estimated concentration of the THC.sub.max, CBD.sub.max, and CBG.sub.max, about 6.5-14.21%, about 5.36-9.82%, and about 0.11-0.42%, respectively, at the time of assaying metabolites from flower samples of CAKE BATTER COOKIES.
