A deepwater photobioreactor system including a vertical stack extending between an ocean surface and an ocean floor. The vertical stack includes an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit where the inlet conduit is arranged to transport at least seawater and the outlet conduit is arranged to transport at least a biomass. The system includes a first photobioreactor in fluid communication with the inlet conduit and the outlet conduit that is connected to the vertical stack via the inlet and outlet conduits at a first position along the vertical stack below the ocean surface. The first bioreactor is arranged to cultivate the biomass. The system also includes a mooring system arranged to anchor the vertical stack to the ocean floor and arranged to receive the biomass via the outlet conduit and output the biomass to a harvest pipeline.

The present invention relates to excision of explant material comprising meristematic tissue from seeds, and storage of such material prior to subsequent use in plant tissue culture and genetic transformation. Methods for tissue preparation, storage, and transformation are disclosed, as is transformable meristem tissue produced by such methods, and apparati for tissue preparation.

A method of producing cannabinoids for use in medical treatments by growing cultured Cannabis sativa plant cells through tissue culture, the method comprising the steps of: selecting Cannabis sativa leaf tissue for culture; and growing a tissue culture from the selected leaf tissue in a liquid based medium whilst controlling the light exposure of the tissue culture to control the cannabinoid content of the tissue culture. Control of the light exposure can enable the phytocannabinoid content of the grown tissue culture to be tailored to the use intended for the tissue culture. For example, the THC content of the tissue culture can be controlled to be maximised or minimised depending on the intended use. Use of tissue culture is beneficial as compared to prior art methods as it allows for genetic consistency and reduces the resources necessary to produce plant cells containing phytocannabinoids.

The invention provides seed and plants of the watermelon line designated TCSEJ12-2622. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, and to methods for producing a watermelon plant produced by crossing a plant of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622 with itself or with another watermelon plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of watermelon line TCSEJ12-2622, including the fruits and gametes of such plants.

6,8-Disubstituted-9-(heterocyclyl)purines for use in pharmaceutical and cosmetic compositions and applications are provided. These 6,8-disubstituted-9-(heterocyclyl)purines have a wide range of biological activities, including for example antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-senescent, anti-aging, as well as well as other activities which are especially useful in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Compositions may include additional excipients and auxiliary substances. Methods of treatment of animals, mammals, plants, cells, yeast, and cells in tissue culture are also disclosed.
