Scientists find 33 genetic markers in marijuana that can be targeted to breed new 'enhanced' strains 'tailored for medical and recreational uses'

Scientists report that they’ve identified 33 “significant markers” in the cannabis genome that “significantly influence cannabinoid production”—a finding they say promises to drive the development of new plant varieties with specific cannabinoid profiles. The new article, published last month in the journal The Plant Genome, says the results “offer valuable guidance for Cannabis breeding programs, enabling […]
