FIELD OF THE INVENTION
METHODS OF USING THEM
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[00011 The current application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Plant Patent Application 15/999,236, filed on August 28, 2018, which itself claims priority to U.S.
Provisional Application Serial No. 62/596,561, filed December 8, 2017, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The invention relates to Specialty Cannabis hemp plants with low A9-tetrahydrocannabinol and high propyl cannabinoid contents, as well as compositions mimicking the cannabinoid and Terpene Profiles of said plants, and methods for making and using said cannabis plants and compositions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
100031 Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants that includes at least three species, Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis as determined by plant phenotypes and secondary metabolite profiles. In practice however, cannabis nomenclature is often used incorrectly or interchangeably. Cannabis literature can be found referring to all cannabis varieties as "sativas" or all cannabinoid-producing plants as "indicas." Indeed the promiscuous crosses of indoor cannabis breeding programs have made it difficult to distinguish varieties; with most cannabis being sold in the United States, having features of both sativa and indica species.
(0004j Modern classification methods of cannabis plants now rely on the chemical phenotypes of cannabis inflorescences to categorize plants in a manner that provides meaningful information about the plants expected organoleptic and medicinal effects. One of the major factors in classifying a new cannabis strain is the plant's cannabinoid profile. Best known for its production of A9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and A9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabis plants have actually been reported to produce at least 85 different cannabinoids.
Surveys of analyzed cannabis inflorescences, however, show that almost all known cannabis varieties available today have been bred to produce high levels of THC, at the expense of other cannabinoid constituents.
100051 Hemp, also known as industrial hemp, is a type of cannabis plant grown specifically for the industrial uses of its derived products. In the United States, hemp has been defined as any cannabis plant that has no more than three-tenths of one percent (i.e., 0.3%) concentration of THC.
Several European countries similarly define hemp as a cannabis plant that has no more than two-tenths of one percent (i.e., 0.2%) concentration of THC.
[00061 Hemp lines with the requisite low quantities of THC have traditionally been produced by selectively breeding plants to either not express the THCA synthase gene, or alternatively, to not produce cannabinoids at all. These breeding approaches result in hemp plants with low cannabinoid diversity, and reduced medicinal properties. Moreover, many hemp plants with null or unexpressed THCA synthase enzymes continue to produce low levels of THC, which can sometimes exceed legal limits if permitted to go past maturity, resulting in total loss of a crop. The Colorado Department of Agriculture for example, requires growers to destroy their entire crop, if even one plant tests higher than 0.3% (8 CCR 1203-23 5.53).
[90071 There thus remains a need for novel cannabis hemp varieties with further protections against excess THC accumulation, and with the ability to produce additional cannabinoids with individual or synergistic recreational and medicinal applications. The present invention addresses some of the shortcomings of the prior art by providing for Specialty Cannabis plants with novel cannabinoid profiles providing for improved recreational and medicinal effects.

[00921 All publications, patents and patent applications, including any drawings and appendices, are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication or patent application was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
19093I The following description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed inventions, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
Definitions 100941 As used herein, the verb "comprise" is used in this description and in the claims and its conjugations are used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded.
19095] As used herein, the term "about" refers to plus or minus 10% of the referenced number.
For example, reference to an absolute content of a particular terpene of "about 1%" means that that terpene can be present at any amount ranging from 0.9% to 1.1% content by weight.
100961 The instant specification will often refer to content by weight of various compounds and mixtures (e.g., individual volatiles, terpenes and cannabinoids, or defined sets thereof, such as terpene oil content, cannabinoid content, propyl cannabinoid content). Persons having skill in the art will understand the context under which the weight content is being used, and will thus recognize the appropriate frame (i.e. denominator) to use when expressing such a content. For example, weight contents from cannabis inflorescences are reported in terms of dry weight of the inflorescence (i.e. by calculating weight of the compound of interest divided by dry weight of inflorescence, multiplied by 100). Weight contents of extracts or other compositions is based on the weight of the extract or composition, respectively (i.e., by calculating weight of the compound of interest divided by weight of the composition, multiplied by 100). In some instances, the content of a compound or mixture in an extract or edible will be expressed in terms of absolute weight (e.g., a brownie with 500 mg of THC).
[90971 The invention provides cannabis plants. As used herein, the term "plant" refers to plants in the genus of Cannabis and plants derived thereof. Such as cannabis plants produced via asexual reproduction, tissue culture, and via seed production.
[0098j The invention provides plant parts. As used herein, the term "plant part" refers to any part of a plant including but not limited to the embryo, shoot, root, stem, seed, stipule, leaf, petal, flower, inflorescence, bud, ovule, bract, trichome, branch, petiole, internode, bark, pubescence, tiller, rhizome, frond, blade, ovule, pollen, stamen, and the like. The two main parts of plants grown in some sort of media, such as soil or vermiculite, are often referred to as the "above-ground" part, also often referred to as the "shoots", and the "below-ground"
part, also often referred to as the "roots". Plant parts may also include certain extracts such as kief or hash, which includes cannabis trichomes or glands. In some embodiments, plant part should also be interpreted as referring to individual cells derived from the plant.
(0099j As used herein, the term "plant cell" refers to any totipotent plant cell from a cannabis plant. Plant cells of the present disclosure include cells from a cannabis plant shoot, root, stem, seed, stipule, leaf, petal, inflorescence, bud, ovule, bract, trichome, petiole, internode. In some embodiments, the disclosed plant cell is from a cannabis trichome.
(0100j As used herein, the term dominant refers to a terpene that is the most abundant in the Terpene Profile either in absolute content as a percentage by dry weight, or in relative content as a percentage of the Terpene Profile.
[01011 The term "a" or "an" refers to one or more of that entity; for example, "a gene" refers to one or more genes or at least one gene. As such, the terms "a" (or "an"), "one or more" and "at least one" are used interchangeably herein. In addition, reference to "an element" by the indefinite article "a" or "an" does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the elements is present, unless the context clearly requires that there is one and only one of the elements. Thus, the term a plant may refer to more than one plants.
101021 As used herein, a "landrace" refers to a local variety of a domesticated plant species that has developed largely by natural processes, by adaptation to the natural and cultural environment in which it lives. The development of a landrace may also involve some selection by humans but it differs from a formal breed that has been selectively bred deliberately to conform to a particular formal, purebred standard of traits.
101031 The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature defines rank, in the nomenclatural sense, as the level, for nomenclatural purposes, of a taxon in a taxonomic hierarchy (e.g., all families are for nomenclatural purposes at the same rank, which lies between superfamily and subfamily). While somewhat arbitrary, there are seven main ranks defined by the international nomenclature codes: kingdom, phylum/division, class, order, family, genus, and species. Further taxonomic hierarchies used in this invention are described below.
101041 The invention provides plant cultivars. As used herein, the term "cultivar" means a group of similar plants that by structural features and performance (i.e., morphological and physiological characteristics) can be identified from other varieties within the same species. Furthermore, the term "cultivar" variously refers to a variety, strain or race of plant that has been produced by horticultural or agronomic techniques and is not normally found in wild populations. The terms cultivar, variety, strain and race are often used interchangeably by plant breeders, agronomists and farmers.
[0105] The term "variety" as used herein has identical meaning to the corresponding definition in the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV treaty), of Dec.
2, 1961, as Revised at Geneva on Nov. 10, 1972, on Oct. 23, 1978, and on Mar.
19, 1991. Thus, "variety" means a plant grouping within a single botanical taxon of the lowest known rank, which grouping, irrespective of whether the conditions for the grant of a breeder's right are fully met, can be i) defined by the expression of the characteristics resulting from a given genotype or combination of genotypes, ii) distinguished from any other plant grouping by the expression of at least one of the said characteristics and iii) considered as a unit with regard to its suitability for being propagated unchanged.
10106] The invention provides methods for obtaining plant lines. As used herein, the term "line"
is used broadly to include, but is not limited to, a group of plants vegetatively propagated from a single parent plant, via tissue culture techniques or a group of inbred plants which are genetically very similar due to descent from a common parent(s). A plant is said to "belong" to a particular line if it (a) is a primary transformant (TO) plant regenerated from material of that line; (b) has a pedigree comprised of a TO plant of that line; or (c) is genetically very similar due to common ancestry (e.g., via inbreeding or selfing). In this context, the term "pedigree" denotes the lineage of a plant, e.g. in terms of the sexual crosses affected such that a gene or a combination of genes, in heterozygous (hemizygous) or homozygous condition, imparts a desired trait to the plant.
101071 As used herein, the term "inbreeding" refers to the production of offspring via the mating between relatives. The plants resulting from the inbreeding process are referred to herein as "inbred plants" or "inbreds."
[0108] The term LOQ as used herein refers to the limit of quantitation for Gas Chromatography (GC) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) measurements.
[0109] The term secondary metabolites as used herein refers to organic compounds that are not directly involved in the normal growth, development, or reproduction of an organism. In other words, loss of secondary metabolites does not result in immediate death of said organism.
191101 The term single allele converted plant as used herein refers to those plants that are developed by a plant breeding technique called backcrossing wherein essentially all of the desired morphological and physiological characteristics of an inbred are recovered in addition to the single allele transferred into the inbred via the backcrossing technique.
[01111 The invention provides samples. As used herein, the term "sample"
includes a sample from a plant, a plant part, a plant cell, an extract, or a composition, or from a transmission vector, or a soil, water or air sample.
[0112] The invention provides offspring. As used herein, the term "offspring"
refers to any plant resulting as progeny from a vegetative or sexual reproduction from one or more parent plants or descendants thereof. For instance, an offspring plant may be obtained by cloning or selfing of a parent plant or by crossing two parent plants and include selfings as well as the Fl or F2 or still further generations. An Fl is a first-generation offspring produced from parents at least one of which is used for the first time as donor of a trait, while offspring of second generation (F2) or subsequent generations (F3, F4, etc.) are specimens produced from selfings of F l's, F2's etc. An Fl may thus be (and usually is) a hybrid resulting from a cross between two true breeding parents (true-breeding is homozygous for a trait), while an F2 may be (and usually is) an offspring resulting from self-pollination of said Fl hybrids.
[01131 The invention provides methods for crossing a first plant with a second plant. As used herein, the term "cross", "crossing", "cross pollination" or "cross-breeding"
refer to the process by which the pollen of one flower on one plant is applied (artificially or naturally) to the ovule (stigma) of a flower on another plant. Backcrossing is a process in which a breeder repeatedly crosses hybrid progeny, for example a first generation hybrid (F1), back to one of the parents of the hybrid progeny. Backcrossing can be used to introduce one or more single locus conversions from one genetic background into another.
[0114] In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods for obtaining plant genotypes comprising recombinant genes. As used herein, the term "genotype"
refers to the genetic makeup of an individual cell, cell culture, tissue, organism (e.g., a plant), or group of organisms.
[0115] In some embodiments, the present invention provides homozygotes. As used herein, the term "homozygote" refers to an individual cell or plant having the same alleles at one or more loci.
[0116] In some embodiments, the present invention provides homozygous plants.
As used herein, the term "homozygous" refers to the presence of identical alleles at one or more loci in homologous chromosomal segments.
19117j In some embodiments, the present invention provides hemizygotes. As used herein, the term "hemizygotes" or "hemizygous" refers to a cell, tissue, organism or plant in which a gene is present only once in a genotype, as a gene in a haploid cell or organism, a sex-linked gene in the heterogametic sex, or a gene in a segment of chromosome in a diploid cell or organism where its partner segment has been deleted.
[0118] In some embodiments, the present invention provides heterozygotes. As used herein, the terms "heterozygote" and "heterozygous" refer to a diploid or polyploid individual cell or plant having different alleles (forms of a given gene) present at least at one locus. In some embodiments, the cell or organism is heterozygous for the gene of interest that is under control of the synthetic regulatory element.
101191 The invention provides self-pollination populations. As used herein, the term "self-crossing", "self-pollinated" or "self-pollination" means the pollen of one flower on one plant is applied (artificially or naturally) to the ovule (stigma) of the same or a different flower on the same plant.
101201 The invention provides ovules and pollens of plants. As used herein when discussing plants, the term "ovule" refers to the female gametophyte, whereas the term "pollen" means the male gametophyte.
[01211 The invention provides methods for obtaining plants comprising recombinant genes through transformation. As used herein, the term "transformation" refers to the transfer of nucleic acid (i.e., a nucleotide polymer) into a cell. As used herein, the term "genetic transformation" refers to the transfer and incorporation of DNA, especially recombinant DNA, into a cell.
[01221 The invention provides transformants comprising recombinant genes. As used herein, the term "transformant" refers to a cell, tissue or organism that has undergone transformation. The original transformant is designated as "TO" or "TO." Selfing the TO produces a first transformed generation designated as "Fl" or "Ti."
[0123i As used herein, the term "cannabinoid profile" refers to the detectable (i.e., "non-trace") cannabinoids present in a sample, such as in cannabis inflorescence material, or a composition.
Thus, references to plants with novel or diverse cannabinoid profiles in this document refers to plants with novel combinations or levels of cannabinoids within a single sample. The level at which cannabinoids can be detected will vary slightly depending on the techniques used, and the cannabinoid being tested. For the purposes of this disclosure, cannabinoid levels below 1.0% will be considered "trace" amounts.
10124] As used herein, the term "propyl cannabinoids" refers to cannabinoids with propyl (i.e., C3) carbon tails. Propyl cannabinoids include, but are not limited to, CBGVA, THCVA, CBDVA, CBCVA, and their decarboxylated variants. In contrast, the term "pentyl cannabinoids" refers to cannabinoids with pentyl (i.e., C5) carbon tails. Pentyl cannabinoids include, but are not limited to CBGA, THCA, CBDA, CBCA, and their decarboxylated variants.
101251 As used herein, the term "propyl cannabinoid content" refers to the additive content of the propyl cannabinoids, as measured by dry weight of the inflorescence, or the composition comprising the propyl cannabinoid. The term "propyl cannabinoid max content"
refers to the additive content of the potential decarboxylated propyl cannabinoids (as converted by formulas provided in this disclosure). This term is meant to indicate the quantity of propyl cannabinoid content that would be present if all the propyl cannabinoids were decarboxylated. Unless indicated otherwise, the terms "propyl cannabinoid content" and "propyl cannabinoid max content" are used interchangeably.
10126] As used herein, the term "high propyl cannabinoid content" refers to non-trace (i.e., > or =
1.0%) propyl cannabinoid max contents.
[0127] As used herein, the term "low THC content" refers to THC contents of no more than 0.3%
THC.
10128] In some embodiments, the present disclosure refers to BT, BD, or BO
alleles. As used herein, the term "BT allele" or "BT allele" refers to a gene coding for a THCA
synthase enzyme.
As used herein, the term "BD allele" or "BD allele" refers to a gene coding for a CBDA synthase enzyme. As used herein, the term "BO allele" or "Bo allele" refers to a gene coding for a null THCA
or CBDA synthase enzyme. Thus, a BT allele containing cannabis plant would be expected to accumulate THCA/THCVA, and a BD allele containing cannabis plant would be expected to accumulate CBDA/CBDVA. Plants with no functional BT alleles, such as plants with BD/BD or BD/Bo genotypes can, in many instances, accumulate low quantities of THC. This THC
accumulation can sometimes go beyond 0.3%, causing the plants to no longer be categorized as hemp. Plants of the present disclosure cure this problem, in part by shifting the flux of THC
synthesis to THCV.
101291 BT, BD, and BO alleles are detectable through direct sequencing (Onofri et al., 2015 "Sequence heterogeneity of Cannabidiolic- and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid-synthase in Cannabis sativa L. and its relationship with chemical phenotype" Phytochemistry Vol 116 pgs 57-68).
Persons having skill in the art can also determine the presence of a BT, BD, or homozygous BO
alleles by studying the cannabinoid profile of the plant. BT alleles result in the accumulation of THCA and/or THCVA, while BD alleles result in the accumulation of CBDA and/or CBDVA.
Homozygous BO alleles result in plants with only small amounts of THCA and CBDA, with CBDA
typically reaching slightly higher levels than THCA. Thus, for the purposes of this application, genotype at the B allele can be assessed by analyzing the cannabinoid profile of cannabis tissue.
101301 As used herein, the term "functional BT allele" or "functional BD
allele" refers to an allele that results in the cannabis plant accumulating greater than 1.5% THC max +THCV max or greater than 1.5% CBD max + CBDV max, respectively. Cannabinoid accumulation below this level is typically attributed to residual activity of otherwise "null" alleles.
10131] Unless otherwise noted, references to cannabinoids in a plant, plant part, extract, or composition of the present disclosure should be understood as references to both the acidic and decarboxylated versions of the compound (e.g., THCmax as determined by the conversion guidelines described in this document, and understood by those skilled in the art). For example, references to high THC contents of a cannabis plant in this disclosure should be understood as referencing to the combined THC and THCA content.
I 0132] The terms THCmax and THC max are interchangeably used in this document. This is true for all other cannabinoids discussed in this document.
101331 As used herein, the term "winterizing" or "winterization" refers to the process by which plant lipids and waxes are removed from a cannabis extract. Persons have skill in the art will immediately recognize how to winterize an extract. Briefly, winterization is the dissolving the cannabis extract into a polar solvent (most commonly ethanol) at sub-zero temperatures. Doing so separates the waxes and lipids from the oil, forcing them to collect at the top of the mixture for easy filtration/collection. Typically, winterization is conducted by mixing ethanol and hash oil into a container and placing it into a sub-zero freezer.
[9134j As used herein, the term "maturity," "harvest maturity," or "floral maturity" refers to the developmental stage at which a cannabis plant is ready for harvest. Persons having skill in the art will recognize maturity based on the plant's morphologies. Cannabis plants are considered to be at harvest maturity when fan leaves begin to yellow, and when inflorescences begin to take on a 'frosted' appearance, as trichomes develop on calyxes and lower portions of bracts. If bracts and inflorescent parts turn overly yellow and/or if the 'frosted' appearance is visible from afar, this could indicate the plant is beyond maturity. The color of trichomes can also be used to determine maturity. Trichomes from cannabis plants first look small and clear, but gradually enlarge, and progressively become 'milkier' and opaque with continued maturation, finally displaying a desiccated appearance and amber color. In the present disclosure, harvest maturity is defined as the time period between the enlarged clear trichome developmental stage and the opaque/milky trichome developmental stage. Amber trichomes in cannabis plants are, in some embodiments, an indication of overly mature trichomes. The present disclosure uses the terms "maturity," "harvest maturity," and "floral maturity" interchangeably. Unless otherwise noted, all cannabinoid and terpene values of cannabis plants discussed in this document refer to the level of those compounds present in a cannabis inflorescence at harvest maturity.
101351 As used herein, the term "Terpene Profile" is defined as the absolute and relative values of 17 of the most expressed terpenes in the Specialty Cannabis hemp and compositions of the present disclosure: terpinolene, alpha phellandrene, beta ocimene, carene, limonene, gamma terpinene, alpha pinene, alpha terpinene, beta pinene, fenchol, camphene, alpha terpineol, alpha humulene, beta caryophyllene, linalool, caryophyllene oxide, and myrcene. A survey of the terpene profiles of several cannabis varieties has found that these terpenes express at high enough levels so as to have their own pharmacological effects and also to act in synergy with cannabinoids.
[01361 As used herein, the term "Terpene Essential Oil" or "Terpene Essential Oil Content" refers to the additive contents of all the terpenes in the Terpene Profile, as measured by weight of the dry inflorescence or cannabinoid composition.
Cannabis [0137] Cannabis is an annual, dioecious, flowering herb. Its leaves are typically palmately compound or digitate, with serrated leaflets. Cannabis normally has imperfect flowers, with staminate "male" and pistillate "female" flowers occurring on separate plants.
It is not unusual, however, for individual plants to separately bear both male and female flowers (i.e., have monoecious plants). Although monoecious plants are often referred to as "hermaphrodites," true hermaphrodites (which are less common in cannabis) bear staminate and pistillate structures on individual flowers, whereas monoecious plants bear male and female flowers at different locations on the same plant.
[01381 The life cycle of cannabis varies with each variety but can be generally summarized into germination, vegetative growth, and reproductive stages. Because of heavy breeding and selection by humans, most cannabis seeds have lost dormancy mechanisms and do not require any pre-treatments or winterization to induce germination (See Clarke, RC et al.
"Cannabis: Evolution and Ethnobotany" University of California Press 2013). Seeds placed in viable growth conditions are expected to germinate in about 3 to 7 days. The first true leaves of a cannabis plant contain a single leaflet, with subsequent leaves developing in opposite formation, with increasing number of leaflets. Leaflets can be narrow or broad depending on the morphology of the plant grown.
Cannabis plants are normally allowed to grow vegetatively for the first 4 to 8 weeks. During this period, the plant responds to increasing light with faster and faster growth.
Under ideal conditions, cannabis plants can grow up to 2.5 inches a day, and are capable of reaching heights of 20 feet or more. Indoor growth pruning techniques tend to limit cannabis size through careful pruning of apical or side shoots.
191391 Cannabis has long been used for drug and industrial purposes, including fiber (hemp), for seed and seed oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug.
Industrial fiber hemp products are made from cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fiber. In some embodiments, hemp varieties of Cannabis have been bred to produce minimal levels of THC, the principal psychoactive constituent responsible for the psychoactivity associated with marijuana.
"Marijuana" varieties of Cannabis on the other hand typically refer to plants that have been bred to produce high levels of THC and other secondary metabolites, including other cannabinoids and terpenes.
101401 Although marijuana cannabis strains used as a drug and industrial hemp both derive from the Cannabis family and contain trace amounts or more of the psychoactive component tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), they are distinct strains with unique phytochemical compositions and uses. Hemp typically has lower concentrations of THC and higher concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD), which decreases or eliminates the psychoactive effects of the plant.
The legality of industrial hemp varies widely between countries. Some governments regulate the concentration of THC and permit only hemp that is bred with an especially low THC content.
[01411 In 2014, President Obama signed the Agricultural Act of 2014 (a.k.a.
the 2014 Farm Bill), which included Section 7606, allowing for universities and state departments of agriculture to begin cultivating industrial hemp for limited purposes. Specifically, the law allows universities and state departments of agriculture to grow or cultivate industrial hemp if:
"(1) the industrial hemp is grown or cultivated for purposes of research conducted under an agricultural pilot program or other agricultural or academic research; and (2) the growing or cultivating of industrial hemp is allowed under the laws of the state in which such institution of higher education or state department of agriculture is located and such research occurs." For purposes of the Farm Bill, industrial hemp is defined as Cannabis sativa L., having a THC concentration < 0.3%.
101421 The law also requires that the grow sites be certified by¨and registered with¨their state.
A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015 that would allow American farmers to produce and cultivate industrial hemp. The bill would remove hemp from the controlled substances list as long as it contained no more than 0.3 percent THC.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in consultation with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, released a Statement of Principles on Industrial Hemp in the Federal Register on Aug 12, 2016, on the applicable activities related to hemp in the 2014 Farm Bill.
101431 Industrial hemp can be further subdivided into the category of fiber hemp, and resinous hemp.
101441 Fiber Hemp is used to make a variety of commercial and industrial products including rope, clothes, food, paper, textiles, plastics, insulation and biofuel. The bast fibers can be used to make textiles that are 100% hemp, but they are commonly blended with other organic fibers such as flax, cotton or silk, to make woven fabrics for apparel and furnishings. The inner two fibers of the plant are more woody and typically have industrial applications, such as mulch, animal bedding and litter. When oxidized (often erroneously referred to as "drying"), hemp oil from the seeds becomes solid and can be used in the manufacture of oil-based paints, in creams as a moisturizing agent, for cooking, and in plastics. Hemp seeds have been used in bird feed mix as well.
Also, more than 95% of hemp seed sold in the European Union was used in animal and bird feed according to the 2013 research data. Thus, the hemp seed can be used for animal and bird feed.
101451 Resinous hemp refers to cannabis plants that meet the low THC
requirements of hemp regulatory programs described above, but which are bred for the production of non-THC
cannabinoids. The cannabinoids produced from resinous hemp have become a popular source of medical and dietary supplement products. The most popular dietary supplement produced from resinous hemp is CBD oil and related products.
101461 Cannabis is diploid, having a chromosome complement of 2n=20, although polyploid individuals have been artificially produced. The first genome sequence of Cannabis, which is estimated to be 820 Mb in size, was published in 2011 by a team of Canadian scientists (van Bakel et al, "The draft genome and transcriptome of Cannabis sativa" Genome Biology 12:R102).
101471 All known strains of Cannabis are wind-pollinated and the fruit is an achene. Most strains of Cannabis are short day plants, with the possible exception of C. sativa subsp. sativa var.
spontanea (= C. ruderalis), which is commonly described as "auto-flowering"
and may be day-neutral.
101481 Although, some cannabis varieties will flower without the need for external stimuli, most varieties have an absolute requirement for inductive photoperiods in the form of short days or long nights to induce fertile flowering. The first sign of flowering in cannabis is the appearance of undifferentiated flower primordial along the main stem of the nodes. At this stage, the sex of the plants are still not distinguishable. As the flower primordia continue to develop, female (pistillate), and male (staminate) flowers can be distinguished.
10149] For most cannabinoid producing purposes, only female plants are desired. The presence of male flowers is considered undesirable, as pollination is known to reduce the cannabinoid yield, and potentially ruin a crop. For this reason, most cannabis is grown "sinsemilla" (seedless), through vegetative (i.e., asexual) propagation. In this way, only female plants are produced and no space is wasted on male plants. Industrial hemp plants are in some instances propagated via feminized seed. Resinous hemp is nearly always grown from feminized seeds to avoid possible pollination, which greatly reduces the cannabinoid yield of plants. Thus, in some embodiments, the plants and inflorescences of the present disclosure are seedless, sinsemilla. In some embodiments, the plants and inflorescences of the present disclosure are unpollinated.
Cannabis Chemistry- Cannabinoids 101501 Cannabis plants produce a unique family of terpeno-phenolic compounds called cannabinoids. Cannabinoids, terpenoids, and other compounds are secreted by glandular trichomes that occur most abundantly on the floral calyxes and bracts of female plants.
As a drug it usually comes in the form of dried flower buds (marijuana), resin (hashish), or various extracts collectively known as hashish oil. There are at least 483 identifiable chemical constituents known to exist in the cannabis plant (Rudolf Brenneisen, 2007, Chemistry and Analysis of Phytocannabinoids (cannabinoids produced by cannabis) and other Cannabis Constituents, In Marijuana and the Cannabinoids, ElSohly, ed.; incorporated herein by reference) and at least 85 different cannabinoids have been isolated from the plant (El-Alfy, Abir T, et al., 2010, "Antidepressant-like effect of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and other cannabinoids isolated from Cannabis sativa L", Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior 95 (4): 434-42; incorporated herein by reference). The two cannabinoids usually produced in greatest abundance are cannabidiol (CBD) and/or A9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is psychoactive while CBD is not. See, ElSohly, ed. (Marijuana and the Cannabinoids, Humana Press Inc., 321 papers, 2007), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, for a detailed description and literature review on the cannabinoids found in marijuana.
101511 Cannabinoids accumulate at the highest levels in the trichomes of cannabis inflorescences.
However, cannabinoids have been detected in nearly all cannabis organs (see John K. Hemphill et al, "Cannabinoid Content of Individual Plant Organs From Different Geographical Strains of Cannabis Sativa L." Journal of Natural Products, Vol 43, No. 1 Jan-Feb, 1980).
Applicant has similarly detected terpenes in non-inflorescence parts of cannabis plants.
Thus, in some embodiments, the plant cells of the present disclosure are terpene and cannabinoid producing cells.
191521 Cannabinoids are the most studied group of secondary metabolites in cannabis. Most exist in two forms, as acids and in neutral (decarboxylated) forms. The acid form is designated by an "A" at the end of its acronym (i.e. THCA). The phytocannabinoids are synthesized in the plant as acid forms, and while some decarboxylation does occur in the plant, it increases significantly post-harvest and the kinetics increase at high temperatures. (Sanchez and Verpoorte 2008). The biologically active forms for human consumption are the neutral forms.
191531 As discussed above, all cannabinoids in their acid forms (those ending in "¨A") can be converted to their non-acidic forms through a process called decarboxylation.
Decarboxylation is usually achieved by (optionally) thorough drying of the plant material followed by heating it, often by either combustion, vaporization, or heating or baking in an oven.
Cannabinoid compositions can similarly be decarboxylated by being exposed to heat.
191541 In order to find the total amount of cannabinoids in a sample (e.g., total amount of active non-acidic cannabinoid), the total measured content of acid cannabinoid variants forms should be adjusted to account for the loss of the carboxyl group. In some embodiments, this adjustment can be made by multiplying the molar content of the acidic cannabinoid forms by the molecular weight of the corresponding decarboxylated cannabinoid. Other shorthand conversions are also available for quickly converting acidic cannabinoid content to active cannabinoid content.
101551 For example, in some embodiments, THCA can be converted to active THC
using the formula: THCA x 0.877 = THC. When using this approach, the maximum THC for the sample is:
THCmax = (THCA x 0.877) + THC. This method has been validated according to the principles of the International Conference on Harmonization. Similarly, CBDA can be converted to active CBD and the yield is determined using the yield formula: CBDA x 0.877 = CBD.
Also, the maximum amount of CBD yielded, i.e. max CBD for the sample is: CBDmax= (CBDA x 0.877) + CBD. Additionally, CBGA can be converted to active CBG by multiplying CBGA
by 0.878 (CBGmax=(CBGA x 0.878) + CBG). THCVA and CBDVA can be converted to THCV and CBDV, respectively by multiplying their acidic contents by 0.8668 (THCVmax=
(THCVA x 0.8668) + THCV; CBDVmax= (CBDVA x 0.8668) + CBDV). CBGVA can be converted to CBGV by multiplying CBGVA by 0.8676 (CBGVmax= (CBGVA x 0.8676) + CBGV).
191561 Unless otherwise noted, references to cannabinoids in a plant, plant part, extract, or composition of the present disclosure includes both the acidic and decarboxylated versions of the compound (e.g., THCmax as determined by the conversion guidelines described above, and understood by those skilled in the art). References to a cannabinoid content (however it is measured) in a claim should be understood as representing theoretical maximums of decarboxylated "active" cannabinoid contents, plus converted contents of acidic versions of the same cannabinoid, unless otherwise indicated.
101571 The cannabinoids in the Specialty Cannabis plants, plant parts, extracts and compositions of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, A9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (A9-THC), A8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (A8-THC), Cannabichromene (CBC), Cannabicyclol (CBL), Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabielsoin (CBE), Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabinidiol (CBND), Cannabinol (CBN), Cannabitriol (CBT), and their propyl homologs, including, but are not limited to cannabidivarin (CBDV), A9-Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabichromevarin (CBCV), and cannabigerovarin (CBGV), and their acidic variants. See Holley et al. (Constituents of Cannabis sativa L. XI Cannabidiol and cannabichromene in samples of known geographical origin, J. Pharm. Sci. 64:892-894, 1975) and De Zeeuw et al. (Cannabinoids with a propyl side chain in Cannabis, Occurrence and chromatographic behavior, Science 175:778-779), each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
101581 Non-THC cannabinoids include one or more of THCV, CBD, CBDV, CBC, CBCV, CBN, CBG, and A 8THC (a.k.a. D8THC) cannabinoids, and their acidic variants.
Notably, non-THC
cannabinoids include propyl THCVA and THCV.
[01591 Brief descriptions and chemical structures for several of the major cannabinoids are provided below.
I r etrahydrocannabinol (THC) 191601 Known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (A9-THC), THC is the principal psychoactive constituent (or cannabinoid) of the cannabis plant. The initially synthesized and accumulated form in plant is THC acid (THCA).
101611 THC has mild to moderate analgesic effects, and cannabis can be used to treat pain by altering transmitter release on dorsal root ganglion of the spinal cord and in the periaqueductal gray. Other effects include relaxation, alteration of visual, auditory, and olfactory senses, fatigue, and appetite stimulation. THC has marked antiemetic properties, and may also reduce aggression in certain subjects (Hoaken (2003). "Drugs of abuse and the elicitation of human aggressive behavior". Addictive Behaviors 28: 1533-1554).
[0162I The pharmacological actions of THC result from its partial agonist activity at the cannabinoid receptor CB1, located mainly in the central nervous system, and the CB2 receptor, mainly expressed in cells of the immune system (Pertwee, 2006, "The pharmacology of cannabinoid receptors and their ligands: An overview". International Journal of Obesity 30: S13¨
S18.) The psychoactive effects of THC are primarily mediated by its activation of CB1G-protein coupled receptors, which result in a decrease in the concentration of the second messenger molecule cAMP through inhibition of adenylate cyclase (Elphick et al., 2001, "The neurobiology and evolution of cannabinoid signaling". Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B:
Biological Sciences 356 (1407): 381-408.) It is also suggested that THC has an anticholinesterase action, which may implicate it as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's and Myasthenia (Eubanks et al., 2006, "A Molecular Link Between the Active Component of Marijuana and Alzheimer's Disease Pathology". Molecular Pharmaceutics 3 (6): 773-7.) 10163] In the cannabis plant (which also includes hemp), THC occurs mainly as tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA, 2-COOH-THC). Geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid react, catalyzed by an enzyme to produce cannabigerolic acid, which is cyclized by the enzyme THC acid synthase to give THCA. Over time, or when heated, THCA is decarboxylated producing THC. The pathway for THCA biosynthesis is similar to that which produces the bitter acid humulone in hops. See Fellermeier et al., (1998, "Prenylation of olivetolate by a hemp transferase yields cannabigerolic acid, the precursor of tetrahydrocannabinol". FEBS

Cannabidiol (CBD) 101651 CBD is a cannabinoid found in cannabis. Cannabidiol has displayed sedative effects in animal tests (Pickens, 1981, "Sedative activity of cannabis in relation to its delta'-trans-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol content". Br. J. Pharmacol. 72 (4): 649-56). Some research, however, indicates that CBD can increase alertness, and attenuate the memory-impairing effect of THC. (Nicholson et al., June 2004, "Effect of Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol on nocturnal sleep and early-morning behavior in young adults" J Clin Psychopharmacol 24 (3): 305-13; Morgan et al., 2010, "Impact of cannabidiol on the acute memory and psychotomimetic effects of smoked cannabis: naturalistic study, The British Journal of Psychiatry, 197:258-290). It may decrease the rate of THC clearance from the body, perhaps by interfering with the metabolism of THC in the liver. Medically, it has been shown to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea, as well as inhibit cancer cell growth (Mechoulam, et al., 2007, "Cannabidiol - recent advances". Chemistry & Biodiversity 4 (8): 1678-1692.) Recent studies have shown cannabidiol to be as effective as atypical antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia (Zuardi et al., 2006, "Cannabidiol, a Cannabis sativa constituent, as an antipsychotic drug" Braz.
J. Med. Biol. Res. 39 (4): 421-429.). Studies have also shown that it may relieve symptoms of dystonia (Consroe, 1986, "Open label evaluation of cannabidiol in dystonic movement disorders". The International journal of neuroscience 30 (4): 277-282). CBD reduces growth of aggressive human breast cancer cells in vitro and reduces their invasiveness (McAllister et al., 2007, "Cannabidiol as a novel inhibitor of Id-1 gene expression in aggressive breast cancer cells". Mol. Cancer Ther.
6 (11): 2921-7.) 101661 Cannabis produces CBD-carboxylic acid through the same metabolic pathway as THC, until the last step, where CBDA synthase performs catalysis instead of THCA
synthase. See Marks et al. (2009, "Identification of candidate genes affecting A9-tetrahydrocannabinol biosynthesis in Cannabis sativa". Journal of Experimental Botany 60 (13): 3715-3726.) and Meijer et al. I, II, III, and IV. Non-limiting examples of CBD variants include:

HO Cannabigerol (CBG) [01671 CBG is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the Cannabis genus of plants.
Cannabigerol is found in higher concentrations in hemp rather than in varieties of Cannabis cultivated for high THC content and their corresponding psychoactive properties. Cannabigerol has been found to act as a high affinity a2-adrenergic receptor agonist, moderate affinity 5-HT1A
receptor antagonist, and low affinity CB1 receptor antagonist. It also binds to the CB2 receptor.
Cannabigerol has been shown to relieve intraocular pressure, which may be of benefit in the treatment of glaucoma (Craig et al. 1984, "Intraocular pressure, ocular toxicity and neurotoxicity after administration of cannabinol or cannabigerol" Experimental eye research 39 (3):251-259).
Cannabigerol has also been shown to reduce depression in animal models (US
Patent Application 11/760,364). In particular CBG has been shown to have significant potential applications in the treatment of glaucoma, depression, Huntington's disease, MRSA, cachexia, and cancer (Craig et al. 1984, "Intraocular pressure, ocular toxicity and neurotoxicity after administration of cannabinol or cannabigerol" Experimental eye research 39 (3):251-259; U.S. Pat.

Cannabivarin (CBV) [0170] Cannabivarin, also known as cannabivarol or CBV, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in minor amounts in the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. It is an analog of cannabinol (CBN) with the side chain shortened by two methylene bridges (-CH2-). CBV is an oxidation product of tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV, THY).
õõH H
HO Cannabidivarin (CBDV) 101711 CBDV is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in Cannabis. It is a homolog of cannabidiol (CBD), with the side-chain shortened by two methylene bridges (CH2 units).
Cannabidivarin has been found reduce the number and severity of seizures in animal models (US
Pat Application 13/075,873). Plants with relatively high levels of CBDV have been reported in feral populations of C. indica (= C. sativa ssp. indica var. kafiristanica) from northwest India, and in hashish from Nepal.
OH
0 Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV, THY) 19172] THCV, or THY is a homologue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) having a propyl (3-carbon) side chain. This terpeno-phenolic compound is found naturally in Cannabis, sometimes in significant amounts. Plants with elevated levels of propyl cannabinoids (including THCV) have been found in populations of Cannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (= Cannabis indica Lam.) from China, India, Nepal, Thailand, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, as well as southern and western Africa. THCV
has been shown to be a CB1 receptor antagonist, i.e. it blocks the effects of THC.
Tetrahydrocannabinol has been shown to increase metabolism, help weight loss and lower cholesterol in animal models (US Pat Application 11/667,860) HC J3 cm H-.0 Cannabicyclol (CBL) 10173] Cannabicyclol (CBL) is a non-psychotomimetic cannabinoid found in the Cannabis species.

See de Meijer et al. I, II, III, and IV (I: 2003, Genetics, 163:335-346; II: 2005, Euphytica, 145:189-198; III: 2009, Euphytica, 165:293-311; and IV: 2009, Euphytica, 168:95-112), each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. According to the current model, phenolic precursors such as geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) and polyketide, olivetolic acid (OA) are condensed by geranyl pyrophosphate olivetolate geranyl transferase (GOT) to form cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). Alternatively, GPP and divarinic acid can be condensed by GOT to form cannabigerovarinic acid (CBGVA). CBGA or CBGVA are considered to be the "primary cannabinoids" from which others can be produced.
191781 CBGA/CBGVA is quickly transformed in plants into, for example: (1) CBCA/CBCVA by CBCA synthase; (2) THCA/THCVA by THCA synthase; or (3) CBDA/CBDVA by CBDA
synthase. See Figure 1A and B for a visual representation of the current model of cannabinoid biosynthesis. The genes coding for THCA synthase and CBDA synthase are found on the same B
locus. Thus cannabis plants can be categorized into THC-CBD chemotypes based on the state of the B locus BT/BT (THC producing, chemotype I), BD/BD (CBD producing, chemotype III), and BT/BD (producing both THC and CBD, chemotype II). Additional information on the genetic regulation of cannabinoids can be found in de Meijer et al. I, II, III, and IV
(I: 2003, Genetics, 163:335-346; II: 2005, Euphytica, 145:189-198; III: 2009, Euphytica, 165:293-311; and IV: 2009, Euphytica, 168:95-112). The BT and BD alleles are known, and can be easily detected using methods known to those skilled in the art, including Northerns, PCR, sequencing, or Westerns. A

Cannabis Chemistry- Terpenes and Terpenoids, and other Volatiles 101791 In some embodiments, the specialty plants and compositions of the present disclosure comprise novel Terpene Profiles. Terpenes are a large and diverse class of organic compounds, produced by a variety of plants. They are often strong smelling and thus may have had a protective function. Terpenes are derived biosynthetically from units of isoprene, which has the molecular formula C5E18. The basic molecular formulae of terpenes are multiples of (C51-18)n where n is the number of linked isoprene units. The isoprene units may be linked together "head to tail" to form linear chains or they may be arranged to form rings. Non-limiting examples of terpenes include Hemiterpenes, Monoterpenes, Sesquiterpenes, Diterpenes, Sesterterpenes, Triterpenes, Sesquarterpenes, Tetraterpenes, Polyterpenes, and Norisoprenoids.
[0180] In addition to cannabinoids, cannabis also produces over 120 different terpenes (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364). Within the context and verbiage of this document the terms `terpenoid' and `terpene' are used interchangeably.
[0181] Cannabinoids are odorless, so terpenoids are responsible for the unique odor of cannabis, and each variety has a slightly different profile that can potentially be used as a tool for identification of different varieties or geographical origins of samples (Hillig 2004. "A
chemotaxonomic analysis of terpenoid variation in Cannabis" Biochem System and Ecology 875-891). Indeed, recent studies have concluded that terpene production in cannabis plants is strongly inherited, and is little influenced by environmental factors. (Casano et al 2011. "Variations in terpene profiles of different strains of Cannabis sativa" Acta Horticulturae 925:115-121).
Accordingly, the development of novel Terpene Profiles requires the development of new genetics though traditional breeding or other techniques for genetic manipulation.
10182] Terpenes also provide a unique and complex organoleptic profile for each variety that is appreciated by both novice users and connoisseurs. Critical differences between many popular commercial cannabis strains can be largely attributed to differences in terpene profiles, which provide each line with their distinctive aroma and pharmacological effects.
The popular "cookies"
strain of cannabis, is noted by its myrcene and limonene. In addition to many circulatory and muscular effects, some terpenes interact with neurological receptors. A few terpenes produced by cannabis plants also bind weakly to cannabinoid receptors. Some terpenes can alter the permeability of cell membranes and allow in either more or less THC, while other terpenes can affect serotonin and dopamine chemistry as neurotransmitters. Terpenoids are lipophilic, and can interact with lipid membranes, ion channels, a variety of different receptors (including both G-protein coupled odorant and neurotransmitter receptors), and enzymes. Some are capable of absorption through human skin and passing the blood brain barrier.
[0183] Generally speaking, terpenes are considered to be pharmacologically relevant when present in concentrations of at least 0.05% in plant material (Hazekamp and Fischedick 2010. "Metabolic fingerprinting of Cannabis sativa L., cannabinoids and terpenoids for chemotaxonomic and drug standardization purposes" Phytochemistry 2058-73; Russo 2011, Taming THC:
potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364). Thus, although there are an estimated 120 different terpenes, only a few are produced at high enough levels to be detectable, and fewer still which are able to reach organoleptic or pharmacologically relevant levels.
[01841 Terpenoids can be extracted from the plant material by steam distillation (giving you essential oil) or vaporization, however the yield varies greatly by plant tissue, type of extraction, age of material, and other variables (McPartland and Russo 2001 "Cannabis and Cannabis Extracts: Greater Than the Sum of Their Parts?" Hayworth Press). In some embodiments, the present disclosure teaches methods for extracting cannabinoids and terpenes.
Other methods for producing reproducible and quantifiable cannabinoid and terpene measurements are known to persons having skill in the art. Typically, the yield of terpenoids in cannabis inflorescences is less than 2% by weight on analysis; however, it is thought that they may comprise up to 10% of the trichome content. A few of the most recognized terpenes and non-terpene volatiles in cannabis are discussed below.
/\:/ ' 111 Limonene 19185] D-Limonene, also known as limonene, is a monoterpenoid that is widely distributed in nature and often associated with citrus. It has strong anxiolytic properties in both mice and humans, apparently increasing serotonin and dopamine in mouse brain. D-limonene has potent anti-depressant activity when inhaled. It is also under investigation for a variety of different cancer treatments, with some focus on its hepatic metabolite, perillic acid. There is evidence for activity in the treatment of dermatophytes and gastro-oesophageal reflux, as well as having general radical scavenging properties (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364).
Myrcene [0186] 13-Myrcene, also known as myrcene, is a monoterpenoid also found in cannabis, and has a variety of pharmacological effects. It is often associated with a sweet fruit like taste. It reduces inflammation, aids sleep, and blocks hepatic carcinogenesis, as well as acting as an analgesic and muscle relaxant in mice. When fl-myrcene is combined with A9-THC it could intensify the sedative effects of A9-THC, causing the well-known "couch-lock" effect that some cannabis users experience (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364).
HO
--,,, ,---' Linalool 101871 D-Linalool, also known as linalool, is a monoterpenoid with very well-known anxiolytic effects. It is often associated with lavender, and frequented used in aromatherapy for its sedative impact. It acts as a local anesthetic and helps to prevent scarring from burns, is anti-nociceptive in mice, and shows anti-glutamatergic and anticonvulsant activity. Its effects on glutamate and GABA neurotransmitter systems are credited with giving it its sedative, anxiolytic, and anticonvulsant activities (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163 : 1344-1364).
z +). a-pinene [0188] oc-Pinene is a monoterpene common in nature, also with a plethora of effects on mammals and humans. It acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, which aids memory and counteracts the short-term memory loss associated with A9-THC intoxication, is an effective antibiotic agent, and shows some activity against MRSA. In addition, a-pinene is a bronchodilator in humans and has anti-inflammatory properties via the prostaglandin E-1 pathway (Russo 2011, Taming THC:
potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163 : 1344-1364).
H3C H __________ 13-Caryophyllene [0189] 13-Caryophyllene is often the most predominant sesquiterpenoid in cannabis. It is less volatile than the monoterpenoids, thus it is found in higher concentrations in material that has been processed by heat to aid in decarboxylation. It is very interesting in that it is a selective full agonist at the CB2 receptor, which makes it the only phytocannabinoid found outside the cannabis genus.
In addition, it has anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties, and may even have anti-malarial activity.
H3C H ________ txCH3 õ.1 Caryophyllene oxide [0190] Caryophyllene oxide is another sesquiterpenoid found in cannabis, which has antifungal and anti-platelet aggregation properties. As an aside, it is also the molecule that drug-sniffing dogs are trained to find (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364).
HO
Nerolidol 19191 Nerolidol is a sesquiterpene that is often found in citrus peels that exhibits a range of interesting properties. It acts as a sedative, inhibits fungal growth, and has potent anti-malarial and antileishmanial activity. It also alleviated colon adenomas in rats (Russo 2011, Taming THC:
potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364). Phytol is a diterpene often found in cannabis extracts. It is a degradation product of chlorophyll and tocopherol. It increases GABA
expression and therefore could be responsible the relaxing effects of green tea and wild lettuce. It also prevents vitamin-A
induced teratogenesis by blocking the conversion of retinol to its dangerous metabolite, all-trans-retinoic acid (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364).
101921 Some of the most commonly found terpenoids in cannabis are summarized in Table 2, with their individual organoleptic properties as well as their basic pharmacology.

Dried inflorescences refer to harvested inflorescence tissue dried to ¨ 10% moisture level. Where specifically indicated, terpene and cannabinoid contents are further adjusted to account for any remaining moisture content, by removing the weight of any remaining moisture from the measured weight of the inflorescence. Moisture content of a flower can be determined by a variety of analytical methods. Persons having skill in the art will be familiar with methods for measuring moisture content. In some embodiments, the present disclosure teaches the use of FTIR analysis for calculating moisture content of inflorescences. In other embodiments, the present disclosure teaches the use of additional drying steps in desiccant chambers to calculate remaining moisture contents.
0194] The term trimmed inflorescence as used herein refers to inflorescences with sun (sugar) leaves cut off such that only the calyx and reproductive buds remain. Trimming can be performed manually, through careful manicuring of harvested tissue, or via automated mechanical methods.
101951 In some embodiments, the present disclosure also teaches methods of pre-screening grown seeds for specific cannabinoid contents. For example, the types of cannabinoids produced by a cannabis inflorescence can also be determined in the field via thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis (see "Cannabis Inflorescence & Leaf QC" from The American Herbal Pharmacopeia 2013).
101961 The present disclosure will often refer to Specialty Cannabis comprising a selected cannabinoid or terpene content. In some instances, the present disclosure will refer to Specialty Cannabis that produces inflorescences comprising a selected cannabinoid or terpene content. It will be understood that both of these statements are interchangeable, and that references to the cannabinoid or terpene contents of a Specialty Cannabis refer to the contents of the inflorescences those plants produce.
Specialty Cannabis (hemp) 101971 In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides Specialty Cannabis with novel cannabinoid profiles. In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure qualifies as industrial hemp. The presently disclosed inventions are based in part on the instant inventors' discovery that resinous hemp plants could be bred to produce high (non-trace) quantities of propyl cannabinoids, while also accumulating no more than 0.3% THC. The novelty of the presently disclosed invention is discussed in more detail below.
10198] Traditional resinous hemp plants are BD/BD lines that produce CBD, while accumulating only trace quantities of THC. These traditional hemp plants, while a good source of CBD, fail to accumulate any appreciable quantities of non-CBD cannabinoids, including no propyl cannabinoids. For example, to the applicant's best knowledge, there are currently no resinous hemp plants that produce non-trace quantities of propyl cannabinoids, while also accumulating no more than 0.3% THC, as required under U.S. law. As a result, traditional resinous hemp plants provide only CBD-based medicine that fails to exploit the medicinal benefits of any other cannabinoids, including propyl cannabinoids.
191991 Another risk associated with the cultivation of traditional resinous hemp, is that traditional hemp crops can sometimes accumulate higher than 0.3% THC, if allowed to go beyond harvest maturity. Even hemp plants that exhibit Bo/BD genotypes, with no functional THCA synthase, still accumulate small amounts of THC. This accumulation may be due to improper conversion by CBDA synthase enzymes, or though residual activity in Bo "null" THCA synthase alleles.
102001 As a consequence, most¨if not all¨traditional resinous hemp lines have the potential to exceed the 0.3% legal THC content limits if not harvested at precisely the right time. Even a single day delay in the harvest of a traditional resinous hemp crop can result in the plant no longer qualifying as hemp, potentially requiring the destruction of the entire crop, and also resulting in possible legal consequences for the growing farmer.
[02011 GW Pharmaceuticals has developed and patented a cannabis variety that does not produce any THC (US 9,035,130), and could thus address the harvest maturity concerns of traditional hemp. This plant however, has been bred to comprise a "cannabinoid knockout factor" that blocks cannabinoid biosynthesis entirely. Thus, the plant patented by GW
pharmaceuticals would only be helpful for fiber production, and would not serve the same purpose as the Specialty Cannabis hemp lines of the present disclosure, which also accumulate high levels of cannabinoids, including CBD, CBG, and propyl cannabinoids.
[0202] The Specialty Cannabis plants of the present disclosure address the limitations of traditional resinous hemp lines. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, the present inventors believe that the presently disclosed Specialty Cannabis plant comprise one or more alleles redirecting cannabinoid flux to propyl (C3) cannabinoids. This genetic feature prevents the accumulation of THC, thus ensuring that the Specialty Cannabis plants of the present disclosure qualify as hemp under U.S. and foreign law. This is particularly important for large crops, where harvest can several days, or weeks to complete. The Specialty Cannabis hemp lines of the present disclosure solve this problem, reducing production costs, and ensuring that the grower will remain within the law. The presently disclosed Specialty Cannabis lines are also beneficial to consumers, who now gain access to additional non-THC cannabinoids in their hemp products.
[0203] In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis plants of the present disclosure represent a new category of cannabis plants in which high (non-trace) levels of propyl cannabinoids accumulate with no more than 0.3% THC. In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis plants of the present disclosure accumulate no detectable THC content (e.g., less than 0.01% by weight, as measured by HPLC). Thus, in some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis plants of the present disclosure solve the problems of previously existing hemp lines.
[02041 In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure produce inflorescences comprising about 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, or 60% total cannabinoids by weight of the dried inflorescence, and all ranges therebetween. Thus, in some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure comprise 1-5%, 1-10%, 1-40%, 1-30%, or 1-25%
cannabinoid content by weight.
[0205] In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure produce inflorescences comprising more than about 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, or 60%
total cannabinoids by weight of the dried inflorescence while accumulating no more than 0.3% or 0.2%
THC content by weight.
192061 In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure produce inflorescences comprising about 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, or 40% propyl cannabinoids by weight, and all ranges therebetween. Thus, in some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure comprise 2%-10%, 3%-30%, or 3%-25% propyl cannabinoids content by weight of the dried inflorescence.
102071 In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure produce inflorescences comprising more than about 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, or 40% propyl cannabinoids by weight of the dried inflorescence while accumulating no more than 0.3% or 0.2%

[00921 All publications, patents and patent applications, including any drawings and appendices, are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication or patent application was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
19093I The following description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed inventions, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
Definitions 100941 As used herein, the verb "comprise" is used in this description and in the claims and its conjugations are used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded.
19095] As used herein, the term "about" refers to plus or minus 10% of the referenced number.
For example, reference to an absolute content of a particular terpene of "about 1%" means that that terpene can be present at any amount ranging from 0.9% to 1.1% content by weight.
100961 The instant specification will often refer to content by weight of various compounds and mixtures (e.g., individual volatiles, terpenes and cannabinoids, or defined sets thereof, such as terpene oil content, cannabinoid content, propyl cannabinoid content). Persons having skill in the art will understand the context under which the weight content is being used, and will thus recognize the appropriate frame (i.e. denominator) to use when expressing such a content. For example, weight contents from cannabis inflorescences are reported in terms of dry weight of the inflorescence (i.e. by calculating weight of the compound of interest divided by dry weight of inflorescence, multiplied by 100). Weight contents of extracts or other compositions is based on the weight of the extract or composition, respectively (i.e., by calculating weight of the compound of interest divided by weight of the composition, multiplied by 100). In some instances, the content of a compound or mixture in an extract or edible will be expressed in terms of absolute weight (e.g., a brownie with 500 mg of THC).
[90971 The invention provides cannabis plants. As used herein, the term "plant" refers to plants in the genus of Cannabis and plants derived thereof. Such as cannabis plants produced via asexual reproduction, tissue culture, and via seed production.
[0098j The invention provides plant parts. As used herein, the term "plant part" refers to any part of a plant including but not limited to the embryo, shoot, root, stem, seed, stipule, leaf, petal, flower, inflorescence, bud, ovule, bract, trichome, branch, petiole, internode, bark, pubescence, tiller, rhizome, frond, blade, ovule, pollen, stamen, and the like. The two main parts of plants grown in some sort of media, such as soil or vermiculite, are often referred to as the "above-ground" part, also often referred to as the "shoots", and the "below-ground"
part, also often referred to as the "roots". Plant parts may also include certain extracts such as kief or hash, which includes cannabis trichomes or glands. In some embodiments, plant part should also be interpreted as referring to individual cells derived from the plant.
(0099j As used herein, the term "plant cell" refers to any totipotent plant cell from a cannabis plant. Plant cells of the present disclosure include cells from a cannabis plant shoot, root, stem, seed, stipule, leaf, petal, inflorescence, bud, ovule, bract, trichome, petiole, internode. In some embodiments, the disclosed plant cell is from a cannabis trichome.
(0100j As used herein, the term dominant refers to a terpene that is the most abundant in the Terpene Profile either in absolute content as a percentage by dry weight, or in relative content as a percentage of the Terpene Profile.
[01011 The term "a" or "an" refers to one or more of that entity; for example, "a gene" refers to one or more genes or at least one gene. As such, the terms "a" (or "an"), "one or more" and "at least one" are used interchangeably herein. In addition, reference to "an element" by the indefinite article "a" or "an" does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the elements is present, unless the context clearly requires that there is one and only one of the elements. Thus, the term a plant may refer to more than one plants.
101021 As used herein, a "landrace" refers to a local variety of a domesticated plant species that has developed largely by natural processes, by adaptation to the natural and cultural environment in which it lives. The development of a landrace may also involve some selection by humans but it differs from a formal breed that has been selectively bred deliberately to conform to a particular formal, purebred standard of traits.
101031 The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature defines rank, in the nomenclatural sense, as the level, for nomenclatural purposes, of a taxon in a taxonomic hierarchy (e.g., all families are for nomenclatural purposes at the same rank, which lies between superfamily and subfamily). While somewhat arbitrary, there are seven main ranks defined by the international nomenclature codes: kingdom, phylum/division, class, order, family, genus, and species. Further taxonomic hierarchies used in this invention are described below.
101041 The invention provides plant cultivars. As used herein, the term "cultivar" means a group of similar plants that by structural features and performance (i.e., morphological and physiological characteristics) can be identified from other varieties within the same species. Furthermore, the term "cultivar" variously refers to a variety, strain or race of plant that has been produced by horticultural or agronomic techniques and is not normally found in wild populations. The terms cultivar, variety, strain and race are often used interchangeably by plant breeders, agronomists and farmers.
[0105] The term "variety" as used herein has identical meaning to the corresponding definition in the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV treaty), of Dec.
2, 1961, as Revised at Geneva on Nov. 10, 1972, on Oct. 23, 1978, and on Mar.
19, 1991. Thus, "variety" means a plant grouping within a single botanical taxon of the lowest known rank, which grouping, irrespective of whether the conditions for the grant of a breeder's right are fully met, can be i) defined by the expression of the characteristics resulting from a given genotype or combination of genotypes, ii) distinguished from any other plant grouping by the expression of at least one of the said characteristics and iii) considered as a unit with regard to its suitability for being propagated unchanged.
10106] The invention provides methods for obtaining plant lines. As used herein, the term "line"
is used broadly to include, but is not limited to, a group of plants vegetatively propagated from a single parent plant, via tissue culture techniques or a group of inbred plants which are genetically very similar due to descent from a common parent(s). A plant is said to "belong" to a particular line if it (a) is a primary transformant (TO) plant regenerated from material of that line; (b) has a pedigree comprised of a TO plant of that line; or (c) is genetically very similar due to common ancestry (e.g., via inbreeding or selfing). In this context, the term "pedigree" denotes the lineage of a plant, e.g. in terms of the sexual crosses affected such that a gene or a combination of genes, in heterozygous (hemizygous) or homozygous condition, imparts a desired trait to the plant.
101071 As used herein, the term "inbreeding" refers to the production of offspring via the mating between relatives. The plants resulting from the inbreeding process are referred to herein as "inbred plants" or "inbreds."
[0108] The term LOQ as used herein refers to the limit of quantitation for Gas Chromatography (GC) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) measurements.
[0109] The term secondary metabolites as used herein refers to organic compounds that are not directly involved in the normal growth, development, or reproduction of an organism. In other words, loss of secondary metabolites does not result in immediate death of said organism.
191101 The term single allele converted plant as used herein refers to those plants that are developed by a plant breeding technique called backcrossing wherein essentially all of the desired morphological and physiological characteristics of an inbred are recovered in addition to the single allele transferred into the inbred via the backcrossing technique.
[01111 The invention provides samples. As used herein, the term "sample"
includes a sample from a plant, a plant part, a plant cell, an extract, or a composition, or from a transmission vector, or a soil, water or air sample.
[0112] The invention provides offspring. As used herein, the term "offspring"
refers to any plant resulting as progeny from a vegetative or sexual reproduction from one or more parent plants or descendants thereof. For instance, an offspring plant may be obtained by cloning or selfing of a parent plant or by crossing two parent plants and include selfings as well as the Fl or F2 or still further generations. An Fl is a first-generation offspring produced from parents at least one of which is used for the first time as donor of a trait, while offspring of second generation (F2) or subsequent generations (F3, F4, etc.) are specimens produced from selfings of F l's, F2's etc. An Fl may thus be (and usually is) a hybrid resulting from a cross between two true breeding parents (true-breeding is homozygous for a trait), while an F2 may be (and usually is) an offspring resulting from self-pollination of said Fl hybrids.
[01131 The invention provides methods for crossing a first plant with a second plant. As used herein, the term "cross", "crossing", "cross pollination" or "cross-breeding"
refer to the process by which the pollen of one flower on one plant is applied (artificially or naturally) to the ovule (stigma) of a flower on another plant. Backcrossing is a process in which a breeder repeatedly crosses hybrid progeny, for example a first generation hybrid (F1), back to one of the parents of the hybrid progeny. Backcrossing can be used to introduce one or more single locus conversions from one genetic background into another.
[0114] In some embodiments, the present invention provides methods for obtaining plant genotypes comprising recombinant genes. As used herein, the term "genotype"
refers to the genetic makeup of an individual cell, cell culture, tissue, organism (e.g., a plant), or group of organisms.
[0115] In some embodiments, the present invention provides homozygotes. As used herein, the term "homozygote" refers to an individual cell or plant having the same alleles at one or more loci.
[0116] In some embodiments, the present invention provides homozygous plants.
As used herein, the term "homozygous" refers to the presence of identical alleles at one or more loci in homologous chromosomal segments.
19117j In some embodiments, the present invention provides hemizygotes. As used herein, the term "hemizygotes" or "hemizygous" refers to a cell, tissue, organism or plant in which a gene is present only once in a genotype, as a gene in a haploid cell or organism, a sex-linked gene in the heterogametic sex, or a gene in a segment of chromosome in a diploid cell or organism where its partner segment has been deleted.
[0118] In some embodiments, the present invention provides heterozygotes. As used herein, the terms "heterozygote" and "heterozygous" refer to a diploid or polyploid individual cell or plant having different alleles (forms of a given gene) present at least at one locus. In some embodiments, the cell or organism is heterozygous for the gene of interest that is under control of the synthetic regulatory element.
101191 The invention provides self-pollination populations. As used herein, the term "self-crossing", "self-pollinated" or "self-pollination" means the pollen of one flower on one plant is applied (artificially or naturally) to the ovule (stigma) of the same or a different flower on the same plant.
101201 The invention provides ovules and pollens of plants. As used herein when discussing plants, the term "ovule" refers to the female gametophyte, whereas the term "pollen" means the male gametophyte.
[01211 The invention provides methods for obtaining plants comprising recombinant genes through transformation. As used herein, the term "transformation" refers to the transfer of nucleic acid (i.e., a nucleotide polymer) into a cell. As used herein, the term "genetic transformation" refers to the transfer and incorporation of DNA, especially recombinant DNA, into a cell.
[01221 The invention provides transformants comprising recombinant genes. As used herein, the term "transformant" refers to a cell, tissue or organism that has undergone transformation. The original transformant is designated as "TO" or "TO." Selfing the TO produces a first transformed generation designated as "Fl" or "Ti."
[0123i As used herein, the term "cannabinoid profile" refers to the detectable (i.e., "non-trace") cannabinoids present in a sample, such as in cannabis inflorescence material, or a composition.
Thus, references to plants with novel or diverse cannabinoid profiles in this document refers to plants with novel combinations or levels of cannabinoids within a single sample. The level at which cannabinoids can be detected will vary slightly depending on the techniques used, and the cannabinoid being tested. For the purposes of this disclosure, cannabinoid levels below 1.0% will be considered "trace" amounts.
10124] As used herein, the term "propyl cannabinoids" refers to cannabinoids with propyl (i.e., C3) carbon tails. Propyl cannabinoids include, but are not limited to, CBGVA, THCVA, CBDVA, CBCVA, and their decarboxylated variants. In contrast, the term "pentyl cannabinoids" refers to cannabinoids with pentyl (i.e., C5) carbon tails. Pentyl cannabinoids include, but are not limited to CBGA, THCA, CBDA, CBCA, and their decarboxylated variants.
101251 As used herein, the term "propyl cannabinoid content" refers to the additive content of the propyl cannabinoids, as measured by dry weight of the inflorescence, or the composition comprising the propyl cannabinoid. The term "propyl cannabinoid max content"
refers to the additive content of the potential decarboxylated propyl cannabinoids (as converted by formulas provided in this disclosure). This term is meant to indicate the quantity of propyl cannabinoid content that would be present if all the propyl cannabinoids were decarboxylated. Unless indicated otherwise, the terms "propyl cannabinoid content" and "propyl cannabinoid max content" are used interchangeably.
10126] As used herein, the term "high propyl cannabinoid content" refers to non-trace (i.e., > or =
1.0%) propyl cannabinoid max contents.
[0127] As used herein, the term "low THC content" refers to THC contents of no more than 0.3%
THC.
10128] In some embodiments, the present disclosure refers to BT, BD, or BO
alleles. As used herein, the term "BT allele" or "BT allele" refers to a gene coding for a THCA
synthase enzyme.
As used herein, the term "BD allele" or "BD allele" refers to a gene coding for a CBDA synthase enzyme. As used herein, the term "BO allele" or "Bo allele" refers to a gene coding for a null THCA
or CBDA synthase enzyme. Thus, a BT allele containing cannabis plant would be expected to accumulate THCA/THCVA, and a BD allele containing cannabis plant would be expected to accumulate CBDA/CBDVA. Plants with no functional BT alleles, such as plants with BD/BD or BD/Bo genotypes can, in many instances, accumulate low quantities of THC. This THC
accumulation can sometimes go beyond 0.3%, causing the plants to no longer be categorized as hemp. Plants of the present disclosure cure this problem, in part by shifting the flux of THC
synthesis to THCV.
101291 BT, BD, and BO alleles are detectable through direct sequencing (Onofri et al., 2015 "Sequence heterogeneity of Cannabidiolic- and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid-synthase in Cannabis sativa L. and its relationship with chemical phenotype" Phytochemistry Vol 116 pgs 57-68).
Persons having skill in the art can also determine the presence of a BT, BD, or homozygous BO
alleles by studying the cannabinoid profile of the plant. BT alleles result in the accumulation of THCA and/or THCVA, while BD alleles result in the accumulation of CBDA and/or CBDVA.
Homozygous BO alleles result in plants with only small amounts of THCA and CBDA, with CBDA
typically reaching slightly higher levels than THCA. Thus, for the purposes of this application, genotype at the B allele can be assessed by analyzing the cannabinoid profile of cannabis tissue.
101301 As used herein, the term "functional BT allele" or "functional BD
allele" refers to an allele that results in the cannabis plant accumulating greater than 1.5% THC max +THCV max or greater than 1.5% CBD max + CBDV max, respectively. Cannabinoid accumulation below this level is typically attributed to residual activity of otherwise "null" alleles.
10131] Unless otherwise noted, references to cannabinoids in a plant, plant part, extract, or composition of the present disclosure should be understood as references to both the acidic and decarboxylated versions of the compound (e.g., THCmax as determined by the conversion guidelines described in this document, and understood by those skilled in the art). For example, references to high THC contents of a cannabis plant in this disclosure should be understood as referencing to the combined THC and THCA content.
I 0132] The terms THCmax and THC max are interchangeably used in this document. This is true for all other cannabinoids discussed in this document.
101331 As used herein, the term "winterizing" or "winterization" refers to the process by which plant lipids and waxes are removed from a cannabis extract. Persons have skill in the art will immediately recognize how to winterize an extract. Briefly, winterization is the dissolving the cannabis extract into a polar solvent (most commonly ethanol) at sub-zero temperatures. Doing so separates the waxes and lipids from the oil, forcing them to collect at the top of the mixture for easy filtration/collection. Typically, winterization is conducted by mixing ethanol and hash oil into a container and placing it into a sub-zero freezer.
[9134j As used herein, the term "maturity," "harvest maturity," or "floral maturity" refers to the developmental stage at which a cannabis plant is ready for harvest. Persons having skill in the art will recognize maturity based on the plant's morphologies. Cannabis plants are considered to be at harvest maturity when fan leaves begin to yellow, and when inflorescences begin to take on a 'frosted' appearance, as trichomes develop on calyxes and lower portions of bracts. If bracts and inflorescent parts turn overly yellow and/or if the 'frosted' appearance is visible from afar, this could indicate the plant is beyond maturity. The color of trichomes can also be used to determine maturity. Trichomes from cannabis plants first look small and clear, but gradually enlarge, and progressively become 'milkier' and opaque with continued maturation, finally displaying a desiccated appearance and amber color. In the present disclosure, harvest maturity is defined as the time period between the enlarged clear trichome developmental stage and the opaque/milky trichome developmental stage. Amber trichomes in cannabis plants are, in some embodiments, an indication of overly mature trichomes. The present disclosure uses the terms "maturity," "harvest maturity," and "floral maturity" interchangeably. Unless otherwise noted, all cannabinoid and terpene values of cannabis plants discussed in this document refer to the level of those compounds present in a cannabis inflorescence at harvest maturity.
101351 As used herein, the term "Terpene Profile" is defined as the absolute and relative values of 17 of the most expressed terpenes in the Specialty Cannabis hemp and compositions of the present disclosure: terpinolene, alpha phellandrene, beta ocimene, carene, limonene, gamma terpinene, alpha pinene, alpha terpinene, beta pinene, fenchol, camphene, alpha terpineol, alpha humulene, beta caryophyllene, linalool, caryophyllene oxide, and myrcene. A survey of the terpene profiles of several cannabis varieties has found that these terpenes express at high enough levels so as to have their own pharmacological effects and also to act in synergy with cannabinoids.
[01361 As used herein, the term "Terpene Essential Oil" or "Terpene Essential Oil Content" refers to the additive contents of all the terpenes in the Terpene Profile, as measured by weight of the dry inflorescence or cannabinoid composition.
Cannabis [0137] Cannabis is an annual, dioecious, flowering herb. Its leaves are typically palmately compound or digitate, with serrated leaflets. Cannabis normally has imperfect flowers, with staminate "male" and pistillate "female" flowers occurring on separate plants.
It is not unusual, however, for individual plants to separately bear both male and female flowers (i.e., have monoecious plants). Although monoecious plants are often referred to as "hermaphrodites," true hermaphrodites (which are less common in cannabis) bear staminate and pistillate structures on individual flowers, whereas monoecious plants bear male and female flowers at different locations on the same plant.
[01381 The life cycle of cannabis varies with each variety but can be generally summarized into germination, vegetative growth, and reproductive stages. Because of heavy breeding and selection by humans, most cannabis seeds have lost dormancy mechanisms and do not require any pre-treatments or winterization to induce germination (See Clarke, RC et al.
"Cannabis: Evolution and Ethnobotany" University of California Press 2013). Seeds placed in viable growth conditions are expected to germinate in about 3 to 7 days. The first true leaves of a cannabis plant contain a single leaflet, with subsequent leaves developing in opposite formation, with increasing number of leaflets. Leaflets can be narrow or broad depending on the morphology of the plant grown.
Cannabis plants are normally allowed to grow vegetatively for the first 4 to 8 weeks. During this period, the plant responds to increasing light with faster and faster growth.
Under ideal conditions, cannabis plants can grow up to 2.5 inches a day, and are capable of reaching heights of 20 feet or more. Indoor growth pruning techniques tend to limit cannabis size through careful pruning of apical or side shoots.
191391 Cannabis has long been used for drug and industrial purposes, including fiber (hemp), for seed and seed oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug.
Industrial fiber hemp products are made from cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fiber. In some embodiments, hemp varieties of Cannabis have been bred to produce minimal levels of THC, the principal psychoactive constituent responsible for the psychoactivity associated with marijuana.
"Marijuana" varieties of Cannabis on the other hand typically refer to plants that have been bred to produce high levels of THC and other secondary metabolites, including other cannabinoids and terpenes.
101401 Although marijuana cannabis strains used as a drug and industrial hemp both derive from the Cannabis family and contain trace amounts or more of the psychoactive component tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), they are distinct strains with unique phytochemical compositions and uses. Hemp typically has lower concentrations of THC and higher concentrations of cannabidiol (CBD), which decreases or eliminates the psychoactive effects of the plant.
The legality of industrial hemp varies widely between countries. Some governments regulate the concentration of THC and permit only hemp that is bred with an especially low THC content.
[01411 In 2014, President Obama signed the Agricultural Act of 2014 (a.k.a.
the 2014 Farm Bill), which included Section 7606, allowing for universities and state departments of agriculture to begin cultivating industrial hemp for limited purposes. Specifically, the law allows universities and state departments of agriculture to grow or cultivate industrial hemp if:
"(1) the industrial hemp is grown or cultivated for purposes of research conducted under an agricultural pilot program or other agricultural or academic research; and (2) the growing or cultivating of industrial hemp is allowed under the laws of the state in which such institution of higher education or state department of agriculture is located and such research occurs." For purposes of the Farm Bill, industrial hemp is defined as Cannabis sativa L., having a THC concentration < 0.3%.
101421 The law also requires that the grow sites be certified by¨and registered with¨their state.
A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015 that would allow American farmers to produce and cultivate industrial hemp. The bill would remove hemp from the controlled substances list as long as it contained no more than 0.3 percent THC.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in consultation with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, released a Statement of Principles on Industrial Hemp in the Federal Register on Aug 12, 2016, on the applicable activities related to hemp in the 2014 Farm Bill.
101431 Industrial hemp can be further subdivided into the category of fiber hemp, and resinous hemp.
101441 Fiber Hemp is used to make a variety of commercial and industrial products including rope, clothes, food, paper, textiles, plastics, insulation and biofuel. The bast fibers can be used to make textiles that are 100% hemp, but they are commonly blended with other organic fibers such as flax, cotton or silk, to make woven fabrics for apparel and furnishings. The inner two fibers of the plant are more woody and typically have industrial applications, such as mulch, animal bedding and litter. When oxidized (often erroneously referred to as "drying"), hemp oil from the seeds becomes solid and can be used in the manufacture of oil-based paints, in creams as a moisturizing agent, for cooking, and in plastics. Hemp seeds have been used in bird feed mix as well.
Also, more than 95% of hemp seed sold in the European Union was used in animal and bird feed according to the 2013 research data. Thus, the hemp seed can be used for animal and bird feed.
101451 Resinous hemp refers to cannabis plants that meet the low THC
requirements of hemp regulatory programs described above, but which are bred for the production of non-THC
cannabinoids. The cannabinoids produced from resinous hemp have become a popular source of medical and dietary supplement products. The most popular dietary supplement produced from resinous hemp is CBD oil and related products.
101461 Cannabis is diploid, having a chromosome complement of 2n=20, although polyploid individuals have been artificially produced. The first genome sequence of Cannabis, which is estimated to be 820 Mb in size, was published in 2011 by a team of Canadian scientists (van Bakel et al, "The draft genome and transcriptome of Cannabis sativa" Genome Biology 12:R102).
101471 All known strains of Cannabis are wind-pollinated and the fruit is an achene. Most strains of Cannabis are short day plants, with the possible exception of C. sativa subsp. sativa var.
spontanea (= C. ruderalis), which is commonly described as "auto-flowering"
and may be day-neutral.
101481 Although, some cannabis varieties will flower without the need for external stimuli, most varieties have an absolute requirement for inductive photoperiods in the form of short days or long nights to induce fertile flowering. The first sign of flowering in cannabis is the appearance of undifferentiated flower primordial along the main stem of the nodes. At this stage, the sex of the plants are still not distinguishable. As the flower primordia continue to develop, female (pistillate), and male (staminate) flowers can be distinguished.
10149] For most cannabinoid producing purposes, only female plants are desired. The presence of male flowers is considered undesirable, as pollination is known to reduce the cannabinoid yield, and potentially ruin a crop. For this reason, most cannabis is grown "sinsemilla" (seedless), through vegetative (i.e., asexual) propagation. In this way, only female plants are produced and no space is wasted on male plants. Industrial hemp plants are in some instances propagated via feminized seed. Resinous hemp is nearly always grown from feminized seeds to avoid possible pollination, which greatly reduces the cannabinoid yield of plants. Thus, in some embodiments, the plants and inflorescences of the present disclosure are seedless, sinsemilla. In some embodiments, the plants and inflorescences of the present disclosure are unpollinated.
Cannabis Chemistry- Cannabinoids 101501 Cannabis plants produce a unique family of terpeno-phenolic compounds called cannabinoids. Cannabinoids, terpenoids, and other compounds are secreted by glandular trichomes that occur most abundantly on the floral calyxes and bracts of female plants.
As a drug it usually comes in the form of dried flower buds (marijuana), resin (hashish), or various extracts collectively known as hashish oil. There are at least 483 identifiable chemical constituents known to exist in the cannabis plant (Rudolf Brenneisen, 2007, Chemistry and Analysis of Phytocannabinoids (cannabinoids produced by cannabis) and other Cannabis Constituents, In Marijuana and the Cannabinoids, ElSohly, ed.; incorporated herein by reference) and at least 85 different cannabinoids have been isolated from the plant (El-Alfy, Abir T, et al., 2010, "Antidepressant-like effect of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and other cannabinoids isolated from Cannabis sativa L", Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior 95 (4): 434-42; incorporated herein by reference). The two cannabinoids usually produced in greatest abundance are cannabidiol (CBD) and/or A9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is psychoactive while CBD is not. See, ElSohly, ed. (Marijuana and the Cannabinoids, Humana Press Inc., 321 papers, 2007), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, for a detailed description and literature review on the cannabinoids found in marijuana.
101511 Cannabinoids accumulate at the highest levels in the trichomes of cannabis inflorescences.
However, cannabinoids have been detected in nearly all cannabis organs (see John K. Hemphill et al, "Cannabinoid Content of Individual Plant Organs From Different Geographical Strains of Cannabis Sativa L." Journal of Natural Products, Vol 43, No. 1 Jan-Feb, 1980).
Applicant has similarly detected terpenes in non-inflorescence parts of cannabis plants.
Thus, in some embodiments, the plant cells of the present disclosure are terpene and cannabinoid producing cells.
191521 Cannabinoids are the most studied group of secondary metabolites in cannabis. Most exist in two forms, as acids and in neutral (decarboxylated) forms. The acid form is designated by an "A" at the end of its acronym (i.e. THCA). The phytocannabinoids are synthesized in the plant as acid forms, and while some decarboxylation does occur in the plant, it increases significantly post-harvest and the kinetics increase at high temperatures. (Sanchez and Verpoorte 2008). The biologically active forms for human consumption are the neutral forms.
191531 As discussed above, all cannabinoids in their acid forms (those ending in "¨A") can be converted to their non-acidic forms through a process called decarboxylation.
Decarboxylation is usually achieved by (optionally) thorough drying of the plant material followed by heating it, often by either combustion, vaporization, or heating or baking in an oven.
Cannabinoid compositions can similarly be decarboxylated by being exposed to heat.
191541 In order to find the total amount of cannabinoids in a sample (e.g., total amount of active non-acidic cannabinoid), the total measured content of acid cannabinoid variants forms should be adjusted to account for the loss of the carboxyl group. In some embodiments, this adjustment can be made by multiplying the molar content of the acidic cannabinoid forms by the molecular weight of the corresponding decarboxylated cannabinoid. Other shorthand conversions are also available for quickly converting acidic cannabinoid content to active cannabinoid content.
101551 For example, in some embodiments, THCA can be converted to active THC
using the formula: THCA x 0.877 = THC. When using this approach, the maximum THC for the sample is:
THCmax = (THCA x 0.877) + THC. This method has been validated according to the principles of the International Conference on Harmonization. Similarly, CBDA can be converted to active CBD and the yield is determined using the yield formula: CBDA x 0.877 = CBD.
Also, the maximum amount of CBD yielded, i.e. max CBD for the sample is: CBDmax= (CBDA x 0.877) + CBD. Additionally, CBGA can be converted to active CBG by multiplying CBGA
by 0.878 (CBGmax=(CBGA x 0.878) + CBG). THCVA and CBDVA can be converted to THCV and CBDV, respectively by multiplying their acidic contents by 0.8668 (THCVmax=
(THCVA x 0.8668) + THCV; CBDVmax= (CBDVA x 0.8668) + CBDV). CBGVA can be converted to CBGV by multiplying CBGVA by 0.8676 (CBGVmax= (CBGVA x 0.8676) + CBGV).
191561 Unless otherwise noted, references to cannabinoids in a plant, plant part, extract, or composition of the present disclosure includes both the acidic and decarboxylated versions of the compound (e.g., THCmax as determined by the conversion guidelines described above, and understood by those skilled in the art). References to a cannabinoid content (however it is measured) in a claim should be understood as representing theoretical maximums of decarboxylated "active" cannabinoid contents, plus converted contents of acidic versions of the same cannabinoid, unless otherwise indicated.
101571 The cannabinoids in the Specialty Cannabis plants, plant parts, extracts and compositions of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, A9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (A9-THC), A8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (A8-THC), Cannabichromene (CBC), Cannabicyclol (CBL), Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabielsoin (CBE), Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabinidiol (CBND), Cannabinol (CBN), Cannabitriol (CBT), and their propyl homologs, including, but are not limited to cannabidivarin (CBDV), A9-Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabichromevarin (CBCV), and cannabigerovarin (CBGV), and their acidic variants. See Holley et al. (Constituents of Cannabis sativa L. XI Cannabidiol and cannabichromene in samples of known geographical origin, J. Pharm. Sci. 64:892-894, 1975) and De Zeeuw et al. (Cannabinoids with a propyl side chain in Cannabis, Occurrence and chromatographic behavior, Science 175:778-779), each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
101581 Non-THC cannabinoids include one or more of THCV, CBD, CBDV, CBC, CBCV, CBN, CBG, and A 8THC (a.k.a. D8THC) cannabinoids, and their acidic variants.
Notably, non-THC
cannabinoids include propyl THCVA and THCV.
[01591 Brief descriptions and chemical structures for several of the major cannabinoids are provided below.
I r etrahydrocannabinol (THC) 191601 Known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (A9-THC), THC is the principal psychoactive constituent (or cannabinoid) of the cannabis plant. The initially synthesized and accumulated form in plant is THC acid (THCA).
101611 THC has mild to moderate analgesic effects, and cannabis can be used to treat pain by altering transmitter release on dorsal root ganglion of the spinal cord and in the periaqueductal gray. Other effects include relaxation, alteration of visual, auditory, and olfactory senses, fatigue, and appetite stimulation. THC has marked antiemetic properties, and may also reduce aggression in certain subjects (Hoaken (2003). "Drugs of abuse and the elicitation of human aggressive behavior". Addictive Behaviors 28: 1533-1554).
[0162I The pharmacological actions of THC result from its partial agonist activity at the cannabinoid receptor CB1, located mainly in the central nervous system, and the CB2 receptor, mainly expressed in cells of the immune system (Pertwee, 2006, "The pharmacology of cannabinoid receptors and their ligands: An overview". International Journal of Obesity 30: S13¨
S18.) The psychoactive effects of THC are primarily mediated by its activation of CB1G-protein coupled receptors, which result in a decrease in the concentration of the second messenger molecule cAMP through inhibition of adenylate cyclase (Elphick et al., 2001, "The neurobiology and evolution of cannabinoid signaling". Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B:
Biological Sciences 356 (1407): 381-408.) It is also suggested that THC has an anticholinesterase action, which may implicate it as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's and Myasthenia (Eubanks et al., 2006, "A Molecular Link Between the Active Component of Marijuana and Alzheimer's Disease Pathology". Molecular Pharmaceutics 3 (6): 773-7.) 10163] In the cannabis plant (which also includes hemp), THC occurs mainly as tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA, 2-COOH-THC). Geranyl pyrophosphate and olivetolic acid react, catalyzed by an enzyme to produce cannabigerolic acid, which is cyclized by the enzyme THC acid synthase to give THCA. Over time, or when heated, THCA is decarboxylated producing THC. The pathway for THCA biosynthesis is similar to that which produces the bitter acid humulone in hops. See Fellermeier et al., (1998, "Prenylation of olivetolate by a hemp transferase yields cannabigerolic acid, the precursor of tetrahydrocannabinol". FEBS

Cannabidiol (CBD) 101651 CBD is a cannabinoid found in cannabis. Cannabidiol has displayed sedative effects in animal tests (Pickens, 1981, "Sedative activity of cannabis in relation to its delta'-trans-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol content". Br. J. Pharmacol. 72 (4): 649-56). Some research, however, indicates that CBD can increase alertness, and attenuate the memory-impairing effect of THC. (Nicholson et al., June 2004, "Effect of Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol on nocturnal sleep and early-morning behavior in young adults" J Clin Psychopharmacol 24 (3): 305-13; Morgan et al., 2010, "Impact of cannabidiol on the acute memory and psychotomimetic effects of smoked cannabis: naturalistic study, The British Journal of Psychiatry, 197:258-290). It may decrease the rate of THC clearance from the body, perhaps by interfering with the metabolism of THC in the liver. Medically, it has been shown to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea, as well as inhibit cancer cell growth (Mechoulam, et al., 2007, "Cannabidiol - recent advances". Chemistry & Biodiversity 4 (8): 1678-1692.) Recent studies have shown cannabidiol to be as effective as atypical antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia (Zuardi et al., 2006, "Cannabidiol, a Cannabis sativa constituent, as an antipsychotic drug" Braz.
J. Med. Biol. Res. 39 (4): 421-429.). Studies have also shown that it may relieve symptoms of dystonia (Consroe, 1986, "Open label evaluation of cannabidiol in dystonic movement disorders". The International journal of neuroscience 30 (4): 277-282). CBD reduces growth of aggressive human breast cancer cells in vitro and reduces their invasiveness (McAllister et al., 2007, "Cannabidiol as a novel inhibitor of Id-1 gene expression in aggressive breast cancer cells". Mol. Cancer Ther.
6 (11): 2921-7.) 101661 Cannabis produces CBD-carboxylic acid through the same metabolic pathway as THC, until the last step, where CBDA synthase performs catalysis instead of THCA
synthase. See Marks et al. (2009, "Identification of candidate genes affecting A9-tetrahydrocannabinol biosynthesis in Cannabis sativa". Journal of Experimental Botany 60 (13): 3715-3726.) and Meijer et al. I, II, III, and IV. Non-limiting examples of CBD variants include:

HO Cannabigerol (CBG) [01671 CBG is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the Cannabis genus of plants.
Cannabigerol is found in higher concentrations in hemp rather than in varieties of Cannabis cultivated for high THC content and their corresponding psychoactive properties. Cannabigerol has been found to act as a high affinity a2-adrenergic receptor agonist, moderate affinity 5-HT1A
receptor antagonist, and low affinity CB1 receptor antagonist. It also binds to the CB2 receptor.
Cannabigerol has been shown to relieve intraocular pressure, which may be of benefit in the treatment of glaucoma (Craig et al. 1984, "Intraocular pressure, ocular toxicity and neurotoxicity after administration of cannabinol or cannabigerol" Experimental eye research 39 (3):251-259).
Cannabigerol has also been shown to reduce depression in animal models (US
Patent Application 11/760,364). In particular CBG has been shown to have significant potential applications in the treatment of glaucoma, depression, Huntington's disease, MRSA, cachexia, and cancer (Craig et al. 1984, "Intraocular pressure, ocular toxicity and neurotoxicity after administration of cannabinol or cannabigerol" Experimental eye research 39 (3):251-259; U.S. Pat.

Cannabinol (CBN) 101681 CBN is a mildly to non-psychoactive substance cannabinoid found in Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica/afghanica. It is also a metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

Cannabivarin (CBV) [0170] Cannabivarin, also known as cannabivarol or CBV, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in minor amounts in the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. It is an analog of cannabinol (CBN) with the side chain shortened by two methylene bridges (-CH2-). CBV is an oxidation product of tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV, THY).

HO Cannabidivarin (CBDV) 101711 CBDV is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in Cannabis. It is a homolog of cannabidiol (CBD), with the side-chain shortened by two methylene bridges (CH2 units).
Cannabidivarin has been found reduce the number and severity of seizures in animal models (US
Pat Application 13/075,873). Plants with relatively high levels of CBDV have been reported in feral populations of C. indica (= C. sativa ssp. indica var. kafiristanica) from northwest India, and in hashish from Nepal.
OH
0 Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV, THY) 19172] THCV, or THY is a homologue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) having a propyl (3-carbon) side chain. This terpeno-phenolic compound is found naturally in Cannabis, sometimes in significant amounts. Plants with elevated levels of propyl cannabinoids (including THCV) have been found in populations of Cannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (= Cannabis indica Lam.) from China, India, Nepal, Thailand, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, as well as southern and western Africa. THCV
has been shown to be a CB1 receptor antagonist, i.e. it blocks the effects of THC.
Tetrahydrocannabinol has been shown to increase metabolism, help weight loss and lower cholesterol in animal models (US Pat Application 11/667,860) HC J3 cm H-.0 Cannabicyclol (CBL) 10173] Cannabicyclol (CBL) is a non-psychotomimetic cannabinoid found in the Cannabis species. CBL is a degradative product like cannabinol. Light converts cannabichromene to CBL.

See de Meijer et al. I, II, III, and IV (I: 2003, Genetics, 163:335-346; II: 2005, Euphytica, 145:189-198; III: 2009, Euphytica, 165:293-311; and IV: 2009, Euphytica, 168:95-112), each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. According to the current model, phenolic precursors such as geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) and polyketide, olivetolic acid (OA) are condensed by geranyl pyrophosphate olivetolate geranyl transferase (GOT) to form cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). Alternatively, GPP and divarinic acid can be condensed by GOT to form cannabigerovarinic acid (CBGVA). CBGA or CBGVA are considered to be the "primary cannabinoids" from which others can be produced.
191781 CBGA/CBGVA is quickly transformed in plants into, for example: (1) CBCA/CBCVA by CBCA synthase; (2) THCA/THCVA by THCA synthase; or (3) CBDA/CBDVA by CBDA
synthase. See Figure 1A and B for a visual representation of the current model of cannabinoid biosynthesis. The genes coding for THCA synthase and CBDA synthase are found on the same B
locus. Thus cannabis plants can be categorized into THC-CBD chemotypes based on the state of the B locus BT/BT (THC producing, chemotype I), BD/BD (CBD producing, chemotype III), and BT/BD (producing both THC and CBD, chemotype II). Additional information on the genetic regulation of cannabinoids can be found in de Meijer et al. I, II, III, and IV
(I: 2003, Genetics, 163:335-346; II: 2005, Euphytica, 145:189-198; III: 2009, Euphytica, 165:293-311; and IV: 2009, Euphytica, 168:95-112). The BT and BD alleles are known, and can be easily detected using methods known to those skilled in the art, including Northerns, PCR, sequencing, or Westerns. A

Cannabis Chemistry- Terpenes and Terpenoids, and other Volatiles 101791 In some embodiments, the specialty plants and compositions of the present disclosure comprise novel Terpene Profiles. Terpenes are a large and diverse class of organic compounds, produced by a variety of plants. They are often strong smelling and thus may have had a protective function. Terpenes are derived biosynthetically from units of isoprene, which has the molecular formula C5E18. The basic molecular formulae of terpenes are multiples of (C51-18)n where n is the number of linked isoprene units. The isoprene units may be linked together "head to tail" to form linear chains or they may be arranged to form rings. Non-limiting examples of terpenes include Hemiterpenes, Monoterpenes, Sesquiterpenes, Diterpenes, Sesterterpenes, Triterpenes, Sesquarterpenes, Tetraterpenes, Polyterpenes, and Norisoprenoids.
[0180] In addition to cannabinoids, cannabis also produces over 120 different terpenes (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364). Within the context and verbiage of this document the terms `terpenoid' and `terpene' are used interchangeably.
[0181] Cannabinoids are odorless, so terpenoids are responsible for the unique odor of cannabis, and each variety has a slightly different profile that can potentially be used as a tool for identification of different varieties or geographical origins of samples (Hillig 2004. "A
chemotaxonomic analysis of terpenoid variation in Cannabis" Biochem System and Ecology 875-891). Indeed, recent studies have concluded that terpene production in cannabis plants is strongly inherited, and is little influenced by environmental factors. (Casano et al 2011. "Variations in terpene profiles of different strains of Cannabis sativa" Acta Horticulturae 925:115-121).
Accordingly, the development of novel Terpene Profiles requires the development of new genetics though traditional breeding or other techniques for genetic manipulation.
10182] Terpenes also provide a unique and complex organoleptic profile for each variety that is appreciated by both novice users and connoisseurs. Critical differences between many popular commercial cannabis strains can be largely attributed to differences in terpene profiles, which provide each line with their distinctive aroma and pharmacological effects.
The popular "cookies"
strain of cannabis, is noted by its myrcene and limonene. In addition to many circulatory and muscular effects, some terpenes interact with neurological receptors. A few terpenes produced by cannabis plants also bind weakly to cannabinoid receptors. Some terpenes can alter the permeability of cell membranes and allow in either more or less THC, while other terpenes can affect serotonin and dopamine chemistry as neurotransmitters. Terpenoids are lipophilic, and can interact with lipid membranes, ion channels, a variety of different receptors (including both G-protein coupled odorant and neurotransmitter receptors), and enzymes. Some are capable of absorption through human skin and passing the blood brain barrier.
[0183] Generally speaking, terpenes are considered to be pharmacologically relevant when present in concentrations of at least 0.05% in plant material (Hazekamp and Fischedick 2010. "Metabolic fingerprinting of Cannabis sativa L., cannabinoids and terpenoids for chemotaxonomic and drug standardization purposes" Phytochemistry 2058-73; Russo 2011, Taming THC:
potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364). Thus, although there are an estimated 120 different terpenes, only a few are produced at high enough levels to be detectable, and fewer still which are able to reach organoleptic or pharmacologically relevant levels.
[01841 Terpenoids can be extracted from the plant material by steam distillation (giving you essential oil) or vaporization, however the yield varies greatly by plant tissue, type of extraction, age of material, and other variables (McPartland and Russo 2001 "Cannabis and Cannabis Extracts: Greater Than the Sum of Their Parts?" Hayworth Press). In some embodiments, the present disclosure teaches methods for extracting cannabinoids and terpenes.
Other methods for producing reproducible and quantifiable cannabinoid and terpene measurements are known to persons having skill in the art. Typically, the yield of terpenoids in cannabis inflorescences is less than 2% by weight on analysis; however, it is thought that they may comprise up to 10% of the trichome content. A few of the most recognized terpenes and non-terpene volatiles in cannabis are discussed below.
/\:/ ' 111 Limonene 19185] D-Limonene, also known as limonene, is a monoterpenoid that is widely distributed in nature and often associated with citrus. It has strong anxiolytic properties in both mice and humans, apparently increasing serotonin and dopamine in mouse brain. D-limonene has potent anti-depressant activity when inhaled. It is also under investigation for a variety of different cancer treatments, with some focus on its hepatic metabolite, perillic acid. There is evidence for activity in the treatment of dermatophytes and gastro-oesophageal reflux, as well as having general radical scavenging properties (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364).
Myrcene [0186] 13-Myrcene, also known as myrcene, is a monoterpenoid also found in cannabis, and has a variety of pharmacological effects. It is often associated with a sweet fruit like taste. It reduces inflammation, aids sleep, and blocks hepatic carcinogenesis, as well as acting as an analgesic and muscle relaxant in mice. When fl-myrcene is combined with A9-THC it could intensify the sedative effects of A9-THC, causing the well-known "couch-lock" effect that some cannabis users experience (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364).
HO
--,,, ,---' Linalool 101871 D-Linalool, also known as linalool, is a monoterpenoid with very well-known anxiolytic effects. It is often associated with lavender, and frequented used in aromatherapy for its sedative impact. It acts as a local anesthetic and helps to prevent scarring from burns, is anti-nociceptive in mice, and shows anti-glutamatergic and anticonvulsant activity. Its effects on glutamate and GABA neurotransmitter systems are credited with giving it its sedative, anxiolytic, and anticonvulsant activities (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163 : 1344-1364).
z +). a-pinene [0188] oc-Pinene is a monoterpene common in nature, also with a plethora of effects on mammals and humans. It acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, which aids memory and counteracts the short-term memory loss associated with A9-THC intoxication, is an effective antibiotic agent, and shows some activity against MRSA. In addition, a-pinene is a bronchodilator in humans and has anti-inflammatory properties via the prostaglandin E-1 pathway (Russo 2011, Taming THC:
potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163 : 1344-1364).
H3C H __________ 13-Caryophyllene [0189] 13-Caryophyllene is often the most predominant sesquiterpenoid in cannabis. It is less volatile than the monoterpenoids, thus it is found in higher concentrations in material that has been processed by heat to aid in decarboxylation. It is very interesting in that it is a selective full agonist at the CB2 receptor, which makes it the only phytocannabinoid found outside the cannabis genus.
In addition, it has anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties, and may even have anti-malarial activity.
H3C H ________ txCH3 õ.1 Caryophyllene oxide [0190] Caryophyllene oxide is another sesquiterpenoid found in cannabis, which has antifungal and anti-platelet aggregation properties. As an aside, it is also the molecule that drug-sniffing dogs are trained to find (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364).
HO
Nerolidol 19191 Nerolidol is a sesquiterpene that is often found in citrus peels that exhibits a range of interesting properties. It acts as a sedative, inhibits fungal growth, and has potent anti-malarial and antileishmanial activity. It also alleviated colon adenomas in rats (Russo 2011, Taming THC:
potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364). Phytol is a diterpene often found in cannabis extracts. It is a degradation product of chlorophyll and tocopherol. It increases GABA
expression and therefore could be responsible the relaxing effects of green tea and wild lettuce. It also prevents vitamin-A
induced teratogenesis by blocking the conversion of retinol to its dangerous metabolite, all-trans-retinoic acid (Russo 2011, Taming THC: potential cannabis synergy and phytocannabinoid-terpenoid entourage effects, British Journal of Pharmacology, 163:1344-1364).
101921 Some of the most commonly found terpenoids in cannabis are summarized in Table 2, with their individual organoleptic properties as well as their basic pharmacology.

Dried inflorescences refer to harvested inflorescence tissue dried to ¨ 10% moisture level. Where specifically indicated, terpene and cannabinoid contents are further adjusted to account for any remaining moisture content, by removing the weight of any remaining moisture from the measured weight of the inflorescence. Moisture content of a flower can be determined by a variety of analytical methods. Persons having skill in the art will be familiar with methods for measuring moisture content. In some embodiments, the present disclosure teaches the use of FTIR analysis for calculating moisture content of inflorescences. In other embodiments, the present disclosure teaches the use of additional drying steps in desiccant chambers to calculate remaining moisture contents.
0194] The term trimmed inflorescence as used herein refers to inflorescences with sun (sugar) leaves cut off such that only the calyx and reproductive buds remain. Trimming can be performed manually, through careful manicuring of harvested tissue, or via automated mechanical methods.
101951 In some embodiments, the present disclosure also teaches methods of pre-screening grown seeds for specific cannabinoid contents. For example, the types of cannabinoids produced by a cannabis inflorescence can also be determined in the field via thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis (see "Cannabis Inflorescence & Leaf QC" from The American Herbal Pharmacopeia 2013).
101961 The present disclosure will often refer to Specialty Cannabis comprising a selected cannabinoid or terpene content. In some instances, the present disclosure will refer to Specialty Cannabis that produces inflorescences comprising a selected cannabinoid or terpene content. It will be understood that both of these statements are interchangeable, and that references to the cannabinoid or terpene contents of a Specialty Cannabis refer to the contents of the inflorescences those plants produce.
Specialty Cannabis (hemp) 101971 In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides Specialty Cannabis with novel cannabinoid profiles. In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure qualifies as industrial hemp. The presently disclosed inventions are based in part on the instant inventors' discovery that resinous hemp plants could be bred to produce high (non-trace) quantities of propyl cannabinoids, while also accumulating no more than 0.3% THC. The novelty of the presently disclosed invention is discussed in more detail below.
10198] Traditional resinous hemp plants are BD/BD lines that produce CBD, while accumulating only trace quantities of THC. These traditional hemp plants, while a good source of CBD, fail to accumulate any appreciable quantities of non-CBD cannabinoids, including no propyl cannabinoids. For example, to the applicant's best knowledge, there are currently no resinous hemp plants that produce non-trace quantities of propyl cannabinoids, while also accumulating no more than 0.3% THC, as required under U.S. law. As a result, traditional resinous hemp plants provide only CBD-based medicine that fails to exploit the medicinal benefits of any other cannabinoids, including propyl cannabinoids.
191991 Another risk associated with the cultivation of traditional resinous hemp, is that traditional hemp crops can sometimes accumulate higher than 0.3% THC, if allowed to go beyond harvest maturity. Even hemp plants that exhibit Bo/BD genotypes, with no functional THCA synthase, still accumulate small amounts of THC. This accumulation may be due to improper conversion by CBDA synthase enzymes, or though residual activity in Bo "null" THCA synthase alleles.
102001 As a consequence, most¨if not all¨traditional resinous hemp lines have the potential to exceed the 0.3% legal THC content limits if not harvested at precisely the right time. Even a single day delay in the harvest of a traditional resinous hemp crop can result in the plant no longer qualifying as hemp, potentially requiring the destruction of the entire crop, and also resulting in possible legal consequences for the growing farmer.
[02011 GW Pharmaceuticals has developed and patented a cannabis variety that does not produce any THC (US 9,035,130), and could thus address the harvest maturity concerns of traditional hemp. This plant however, has been bred to comprise a "cannabinoid knockout factor" that blocks cannabinoid biosynthesis entirely. Thus, the plant patented by GW
pharmaceuticals would only be helpful for fiber production, and would not serve the same purpose as the Specialty Cannabis hemp lines of the present disclosure, which also accumulate high levels of cannabinoids, including CBD, CBG, and propyl cannabinoids.
[0202] The Specialty Cannabis plants of the present disclosure address the limitations of traditional resinous hemp lines. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, the present inventors believe that the presently disclosed Specialty Cannabis plant comprise one or more alleles redirecting cannabinoid flux to propyl (C3) cannabinoids. This genetic feature prevents the accumulation of THC, thus ensuring that the Specialty Cannabis plants of the present disclosure qualify as hemp under U.S. and foreign law. This is particularly important for large crops, where harvest can several days, or weeks to complete. The Specialty Cannabis hemp lines of the present disclosure solve this problem, reducing production costs, and ensuring that the grower will remain within the law. The presently disclosed Specialty Cannabis lines are also beneficial to consumers, who now gain access to additional non-THC cannabinoids in their hemp products.
[0203] In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis plants of the present disclosure represent a new category of cannabis plants in which high (non-trace) levels of propyl cannabinoids accumulate with no more than 0.3% THC. In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis plants of the present disclosure accumulate no detectable THC content (e.g., less than 0.01% by weight, as measured by HPLC). Thus, in some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis plants of the present disclosure solve the problems of previously existing hemp lines.

This paragraph is intended to be read as applying to any specific terpene(s) in a Terpene Profile, such that the name of any one or two or more of these terpenes as specifically referred to elsewhere herein (e.g., linalool) can replace the phrase "any one of the 17 terpenes in the Terpene Profile."
102251 A limonene dominant terpene is used to refer to Terpene Profiles in which limonene is the most abundant terpene in the Terpene Profile (i.e., limonene relative or absolute content is >
content of any single one of the 16 other terpenes in the Terpene Profile).
Reference to other dominant terpenes is similarly based on said terpene being the most abundant within the Terpene Profile.

102261 In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention has 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, 5%, 5.1%, 5.2%, 5.3%, 5.4%, 5.5%, 5.6%, 5.7%, 5.8%, 5.9%, 6%, 6.1%, 6.2%, 6.3%, 6.4%, 6.5%, 6.6%, 6.7%, 6.8%, 6.9%, 7%, 7.1%, 7.2%, 7.3%, 7.4%, 7.5%, 7.6%, 7.7%,
7.8%, 7.9%, 8%
terpene essential oil content by dry weight, including all ranges therebetween. Thus in some embodiments the essential oil content of the Specialty Cannabis varieties of the present invention is between about 0.5% and about 8% by dry weight. In other embodiments the essential oil contents of the Specialty Cannabis varieties of the present invention is between about 1.0% and about 5%
by dry weight.
192271 In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention has greater than 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, 5%, 5.1%, 5.2%, 5.3%, 5.4%, 5.5%, 5.6%, 5.7%, 5.8%, 5.9%, 6%, 6.1%, 6.2%, 6.3%, 6.4%, 6.5%, 6.6%, 6.7%, 6.8%, 6.9%, 7%, 7.1%, 7.2%, 7.3%, 7.4%, 7.5%, 7.6%, 7.7%, 7.8%, 7.9%, or 8% terpene essential oil content by weight of the dried inflorescence.
[92281 In some embodiments, the terpene content of the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure is described in relative terms as a percentage composition of the total Terpene Profile.
Thus for example a Specialty Cannabis with 1.2% absolute terpinolene content and 1.2% limonene content and no other terpenes in the Terpene Profile would said to have 50%
terpinolene and 50%
limonene relative content.
192291 In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention has a relative content of any one of the 17 terpenes in the Terpene Profile that is greater than or less than 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 79%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%, including any ranges therebetween. Thus in some embodiments the relative content of any one of the terpenes is between 0% and 100%. This paragraph is intended to be read as applying to any specific terpene(s) in a Terpene Profile, such that the name of any of one or two or more these terpenes as specifically referred to elsewhere herein (e.g., linalool) can replace the phrase "any one of the 17 terpenes in the Terpene Profile."
10230] In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure produce female inflorescences. In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure have been feminized to produce female seed. In some embodiments, the supporting seed deposits referenced in the present disclosure are feminized. Persons having skill in the art will be familiar with techniques to feminize cannabis seeds, including breeding through treatment with silver thiosulfate, colloidal silver, hormones, and rodelization method.
[02311 Another important breeding phenotype is flower color. The accumulation of anthocyanins, carotenoids, or other color-producing compounds in leaves and flowers of cannabis can have an effect on consumer visual appeal and flavor. Iconic examples of the appeal of color are the popular "Purple Kush", "Purple Haze", and "Purple Trainwreck" varieties that express anthocyanins in their late maturation stages to produce dark purple leaves. Color selections can also be based on (but not limited to) unique coloration of stem, leaf, inflorescence, calyx, stamen, trichome bodies and finished products including extracts and hash.
I92321 Yield is another important factor in breeding. Cannabis yield is measured by pounds (lbs), grams (g) or kilograms (Kg) of dried (e.g., -10% moisture) trimmed flowers.
Yield can be expressed in terms of yield per plant, yield per watt of light, and yield per square meter of growing area among others. Cannabis yield is also dependent on the growing environment. For example, yields for a particular cannabis strain will vary between outdoor growth long season, outdoor growth short season, or indoor growth. Yield may also be affected by growing conditions such as type of lighting, soil, fertilizer use, size of growing pot, etc.
102331 In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure produce . 1 g, .2g, .3g, .4g, .5g, .6g, .7g, .8g, .9g, 1.0g, 1.1g, 1.2g, 1.3g, 1.4g, 1.5g, 1.6g, 1.7g, 1.8g, 1.9g, 2.0g, 2.1g, 2.2g, 2.3g, 2.4g, 2.5g, 2.6g, 2.7g, 2.8g, 2.9g, 3.0g, 3.1g, 3.2g, 3.3g, 3.4g, 3.5g, 3.6g, 3.7g, 3.8g, 3.9g, 4.0g, 4.1g, 4.2g, 4.3g, 4.4g, 4.5g, 4.6g, 4.7g, 4.8g, 4.9g, or 5.0g of dried flowers per watt of light, including all ranges therebetween. In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention produces 10g, 15g, 20g, 25g, 30g, 35g, 40g, 45g, 50g, 55g, 60g, 65g, 70g, 75g, 80g, 85g, 90g, 95g, 100g, 105g, 110g, 115g, 120g, 125g, 130g, 135g, 140g, 145g, 150g, 155g, 160g, 165g, 170g, 175g, 180g, 185g, 190g, 195g, 200g, 210g, 220g, 230g, 240g, 250g, 260g, 270g, 280g, 290g, 300g, 310g, 320g, 330g, 340g, 350g, 360g, 370g, 380g, 390g, 400g, 410g, 420g, 430g, 440g, 450g, 460g, 470g, 480g, 490g, 500g, 550g, 600g, 650g, 700g, 750g, 800g, 850g, 900g, 950g, 1000g, 2000g, 3000g, or 5000g of dried flowers per plant, including all ranges therebetween.
102341 Other desirable yield phenotypes that can be used in the breeding programs of the present disclosure include:
102351 High Yield Natural Light Production Long Season - Selection based on yield performance for early ripening varieties during long seasons.
102361 High Yield Natural Light Production Short Season - Selection based on yield performance of late ripening varieties during long season and/or yield of plants that ripen in winter months and at low light levels.
[0237] High Yield Indoor Production - Selection based solely on plant yield performance in artificial lighting (e.g., HID). Another important phenotype that is important for cannabis production is structural features for easy harvesting.
102381 Structure for Manual Trim/Market - Selections are based on the relative ratio by weight of finished flower. This usually is directly related to dense trichome morphology with very few sun leaves.
[0239] Structure for Automated Trimming - Selection based on flower morphology that is more kola (continuous long bud) with many sun leaves protruding from large inflorescences. Overall flower size is typically large, but trichomes are less densely packed and overall inflorescence is less dense than what is traditionally selected for manual trim.
[0240] Root Structure - Positive root selection is marked by overall root vigor and adventitious root growth, ease of transplant, rate of root development on clonal propagations, and root shooting from tissue culture samples. Root selections can also be based on resistance to soil and hydroponic pathogens including Pythium.
10241j Vigor - Selection for plant vigor are marked by tremendous grow rates and robust stem/stalk infrastructure. Often times, selection display morphologies that are very much enlarged compared to sibling progeny.
[02421 Fungal Resistance - Selections based on plant that exhibit immunity or partial immunity to fungal diseases and pathogens including but not limited to powdery mildew, botrytis, downy mildew among others.
10213] Harvesting by Combine ¨ Selections based on plant ideotypes that are better suited for large-scale, outdoor, field production and harvesting. Examples of applicable traits include stem lodging resistance, stems suitable for machine cutting, resistance to prevalent pests in field production (e.g., corn borers), suitable height for machine combining, etc.

[02491 In some embodiments, selection methods, e.g., molecular marker assisted selection, can be combined with breeding methods to accelerate the process. Additional breeding methods have been known to one of ordinary skill in the art, e.g., methods discussed in Chahal and Gosal (Principles and procedures of plant breeding: biotechnological and conventional approaches, CRC

192531 Classical breeding methods can be included in the present invention to introduce one or more recombinant expression cassettes of the present invention into other plant varieties, or other close-related species that are compatible to be crossed with the transgenic plant of the present invention.
102541 In some embodiments, said method comprises (i) crossing any one of the plants of the present invention comprising the expression cassette as a donor to a recipient plant line to create a Fl population; (ii) selecting offspring that have expression cassette.
Optionally, the offspring can be further selected by testing the expression of the gene of interest.
102551 In some embodiments, complete chromosomes of the donor plant are transferred. For example, the transgenic plant with the expression cassette can serve as a male or female parent in a cross pollination to produce offspring plants, wherein by receiving the transgene from the donor plant, the offspring plants have the expression cassette.
102561 In a method for producing plants having the expression cassette, protoplast fusion can also be used for the transfer of the transgene from a donor plant to a recipient plant. Protoplast fusion is an induced or spontaneous union, such as a somatic hybridization, between two or more protoplasts (cells in which the cell walls are removed by enzymatic treatment) to produce a single bi- or multi-nucleate cell. The fused cell that may even be obtained with plant species that cannot be interbred in nature is tissue cultured into a hybrid plant exhibiting the desirable combination of traits. More specifically, a first protoplast can be obtained from a plant having the expression cassette. A second protoplast can be obtained from a second plant line, optionally from another plant species or variety, preferably from the same plant species or variety, that comprises commercially desirable characteristics, such as, but not limited to disease resistance, insect resistance, valuable grain characteristics (e.g., increased seed weight and/or seed size) etc. The protoplasts are then fused using traditional protoplast fusion procedures, which are known in the art to produce the cross.
(0257j Alternatively, embryo rescue may be employed in the transfer of the expression cassette from a donor plant to a recipient plant. Embryo rescue can be used as a procedure to isolate embryos from crosses wherein plants fail to produce viable seed. In this process, the fertilized ovary or immature seed of a plant is tissue cultured to create new plants (see Pierik, 1999, In vitro culture of higher plants, Springer, ISBN 079235267x, 9780792352679, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).
192581 In some embodiments, the recipient plant is an elite line having one or more certain desired traits. Examples of desired traits include but are not limited to those that result in increased biomass production, production of specific chemicals, increased seed production, improved plant material quality, increased seed oil content, etc. Additional examples of desired traits includes pest resistance, vigor, development time (time to harvest), enhanced nutrient content, novel growth patterns, aromas or colors, salt, heat, drought and cold tolerance, and the like. Desired traits also include selectable marker genes (e.g., genes encoding herbicide or antibiotic resistance used only to facilitate detection or selection of transformed cells), hormone biosynthesis genes leading to the production of a plant hormone (e.g., auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and ethylene that are used only for selection), or reporter genes (e.g. luciferase, P-glucuronidase, chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT, etc.). The recipient plant can also be a plant with preferred chemical compositions, e.g., compositions preferred for medical use or industrial applications.
10259] Classical breeding methods can be used to produce new varieties of cannabis according to the present invention. Newly developed Fl hybrids can be reproduced via asexual reproduction.
[0260] Open-Pollinated Populations. The improvement of open-pollinated populations of such crops as rye, many maizes and sugar beets, herbage grasses, legumes such as alfalfa and clover, and tropical tree crops such as cacao, coconuts, oil palm and some rubber, depends essentially upon changing gene-frequencies towards fixation of favorable alleles while maintaining a high (but far from maximal) degree of heterozygosity. Uniformity in such populations is impossible and trueness-to-type in an open-pollinated variety is a statistical feature of the population as a whole, not a characteristic of individual plants. Thus, the heterogeneity of open-pollinated populations contrasts with the homogeneity (or virtually so) of inbred lines, clones and hybrids.
[0261] Population improvement methods fall naturally into two groups, those based on purely phenotypic selection, normally called mass selection, and those based on selection with progeny testing. Interpopulation improvement utilizes the concept of open breeding populations; allowing genes to flow from one population to another. Plants in one population (cultivar, strain, ecotype, or any germplasm source) are crossed either naturally (e.g., by wind) or by hand or by bees (commonly Apis mellifera L. or Megachile rotundata F.) with plants from other populations.
Selection is applied to improve one (or sometimes both) population(s) by isolating plants with desirable traits from both sources.
[02621 There are basically two primary methods of open-pollinated population improvement.
First, there is the situation in which a population is changed en masse by a chosen selection procedure. The outcome is an improved population that is indefinitely propagatable by random-mating within itself in isolation. Second, the synthetic variety attains the same end result as population improvement but is not itself propagatable as such; it has to be reconstructed from parental lines or clones. These plant breeding procedures for improving open-pollinated populations are well known to those skilled in the art and comprehensive reviews of breeding procedures routinely used for improving cross-pollinated plants are provided in numerous texts and articles, including: Allard, Principles of Plant Breeding, John Wiley &
Sons, Inc. (1960);
Simmonds, Principles of Crop Improvement, Longman Group Limited (1979);
Hallauer and Miranda, Quantitative Genetics in Maize Breeding, Iowa State University Press (1981); and, Jensen, Plant Breeding Methodology, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1988).
10263] Mass Selection. In mass selection, desirable individual plants are chosen, harvested, and the seed composited without progeny testing to produce the following generation. Since selection is based on the maternal parent only, and there is no control over pollination, mass selection amounts to a form of random mating with selection. As stated herein, the purpose of mass selection is to increase the proportion of superior genotypes in the population.
102641 Synthetics. A synthetic variety is produced by crossing inter se a number of genotypes selected for good combining ability in all possible hybrid combinations, with subsequent maintenance of the variety by open pollination. Whether parents are (more or less inbred) seed-propagated lines, as in some sugar beet and beans (Vicia) or clones, as in herbage grasses, clovers and alfalfa, makes no difference in principle. Parents are selected on general combining ability, sometimes by test crosses or toperosses, more generally by polycrosses.
Parental seed lines may be deliberately inbred (e.g. by selfing or sib crossing). However, even if the parents are not deliberately inbred, selection within lines during line maintenance will ensure that some inbreeding occurs. Clonal parents will, of course, remain unchanged and highly heterozygous.
[0265] Whether a synthetic can go straight from the parental seed production plot to the farmer or must first undergo one or two cycles of multiplication depends on seed production and the scale of demand for seed. In practice, grasses and clovers are generally multiplied once or twice and are thus considerably removed from the original synthetic.
[02661 While mass selection is sometimes used, progeny testing is generally preferred for polycrosses, because of their operational simplicity and obvious relevance to the objective, namely exploitation of general combining ability in a synthetic.
102671 The numbers of parental lines or clones that enter a synthetic vary widely. In practice, numbers of parental lines range from 10 to several hundred, with 100-200 being the average.
Broad based synthetics formed from 100 or more clones would be expected to be more stable during seed multiplication than narrow based synthetics.
10268] Pedigreed varieties. A pedigreed variety is a superior genotype developed from selection of individual plants out of a segregating population followed by propagation and seed increase of self-pollinated offspring and careful testing of the genotype over several generations. This is an open pollinated method that works well with naturally self-pollinating species. This method can be used in combination with mass selection in variety development. Variations in pedigree and mass selection in combination are the most common methods for generating varieties in self-pollinated crops.
102691 Hybrids. A hybrid is an individual plant resulting from a cross between parents of differing genotypes. Commercial hybrids are now used extensively in many crops, including corn (maize), sorghum, sugar beet, sunflower and broccoli. Hybrids can be formed in a number of different ways, including by crossing two parents directly (single cross hybrids), by crossing a single cross hybrid with another parent (three-way or triple cross hybrids), or by crossing two different hybrids (four-way or double cross hybrids).
102701 Strictly speaking, most individuals in an out breeding (i.e., open-pollinated) population are hybrids, but the term is usually reserved for cases in which the parents are individuals whose genomes are sufficiently distinct for them to be recognized as different species or subspecies.
Hybrids may be fertile or sterile depending on qualitative and/or quantitative differences in the genomes of the two parents. Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, is usually associated with increased heterozygosity that results in increased vigor of growth, survival, and fertility of hybrids as compared with the parental lines that were used to form the hybrid. Maximum heterosis is usually achieved by crossing two genetically different, highly inbred lines.
Plant Transformation [0271] Specialty Cannabis plants of the present invention can be further modified by introducing into the plants one or more transgenes which when expressed lead to desired phenotypes. The most common method for the introduction of new genetic material into a plant genome involves the use of living cells of the bacterial pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens to literally inject a piece of DNA, called transfer or T-DNA, into individual plant cells (usually following wounding of the tissue) where it is targeted to the plant nucleus for chromosomal integration. There are numerous patents governing Agrobacterium mediated transformation and particular DNA delivery plasmids designed specifically for use with Agrobacterium---for example, US4536475, EP0265556, EP0270822, W08504899, W08603516, US5591616, EP0604662, EP0672752, W08603776, W09209696, W09419930, W09967357, US4399216, W08303259, US5731179, EP068730, W09516031, US 5693512, US 6051757 and EP904362A1. Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation involves as a first step the placement of DNA fragments cloned on plasmids into living Agrobacterium cells, which are then subsequently used for transformation into individual plant cells. Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation is thus an indirect plant transformation method. Methods of Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation that involve using vectors with no T-DNA are also well known to those skilled in the art and can have applicability in the present invention. See, for example, U.S. Patent No.
7,250,554, which utilizes P-DNA instead of T-DNA in the transformation vector.
[02721 Direct plant transformation methods using DNA have also been reported.
The first of these to be reported historically is electroporation, which utilizes an electrical current applied to a solution containing plant cells (M. E. Fromm et al., Nature, 319, 791 (1986);
H. Jones et al., Plant Mol. Biol., 13, 501 (1989) and H. Yang et al., Plant Cell Reports, 7, 421 (1988). Another direct method, called "biolistic bombardment", uses ultrafine particles, usually tungsten or gold, that are coated with DNA and then sprayed onto the surface of a plant tissue with sufficient force to cause the particles to penetrate plant cells, including the thick cell wall, membrane and nuclear envelope, but without killing at least some of them (US 5,204,253, US 5,015,580). A
third direct method uses fibrous forms of metal or ceramic consisting of sharp, porous or hollow needle-like projections that literally impale the cells, and also the nuclear envelope of cells. Both silicon carbide and aluminum borate whiskers have been used for plant transformation (Mizuno et al., 2004; Petolino et al., 2000; U553 02523 US Application 20040197909) and also for bacterial and animal transformation (Kaepler et al., 1992; Raloff, 1990; Wang, 1995). There are other methods reported, and undoubtedly, additional methods will be developed. However, the efficiencies of each of these indirect or direct methods in introducing foreign DNA into plant cells are invariably extremely low, making it necessary to use some method for selection of only those cells that have been transformed, and further, allowing growth and regeneration into plants of only those cells that have been transformed.
102731 For efficient plant transformation, a selection method must be employed such that whole plants are regenerated from a single transformed cell and every cell of the transformed plant carries the DNA of interest. These methods can employ positive selection, whereby a foreign gene is supplied to a plant cell that allows it to utilize a substrate present in the medium that it otherwise could not use, such as mannose or xylose (for example, refer US 5,767,378; US
5994629). More typically, however, negative selection is used because it is more efficient, utilizing selective agents such as herbicides or antibiotics that either kill or inhibit the growth of nontransformed plant cells and reducing the possibility of chimeras. Resistance genes that are effective against negative selective agents are provided on the introduced foreign DNA used for the plant transformation.
For example, one of the most popular selective agents used is the antibiotic kanamycin, together with the resistance gene neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII), which confers resistance to kanamycin and related antibiotics (see, for example, Messing & Vierra, Gene 19: 259-268 (1982);
Bevan et al., Nature 304:184-187 (1983)). However, many different antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes can be used for transformation purposes (refer US 5034322, US
6174724 and US
6255560). In addition, several herbicides and herbicide resistance genes have been used for transformation purposes, including the bar gene, which confers resistance to the herbicide phosphinothricin (White et al., Nucl Acids Res 18: 1062 (1990), Spencer et al., Theor Appl Genet 79: 625-631(1990), US 4795855, US 5378824 and US 6107549). In addition, the dhfr gene, which confers resistance to the anticancer agent methotrexate, has been used for selection (Bourouis et al., EMBO J. 2(7): 1099-1104 (1983).
[02741 Genes can be introduced in a site directed fashion using homologous recombination.
Homologous recombination permits site specific modifications in endogenous genes and thus inherited or acquired mutations may be corrected, and/or novel alterations may be engineered into the genome. Homologous recombination and site-directed integration in plants are discussed in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,451,513, 5,501,967 and 5,527,695.
102751 Methods of producing transgenic plants are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Transgenic plants can now be produced by a variety of different transformation methods including, but not limited to, electroporation; microinjection; microprojectile bombardment, also known as particle acceleration or biolistic bombardment; viral-mediated transformation;
and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos.

terpene essential oil content by dry weight, including all ranges therebetween. Thus in some embodiments the essential oil content of the Specialty Cannabis varieties of the present invention is between about 0.5% and about 8% by dry weight. In other embodiments the essential oil contents of the Specialty Cannabis varieties of the present invention is between about 1.0% and about 5%
by dry weight.
192271 In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention has greater than 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, 5%, 5.1%, 5.2%, 5.3%, 5.4%, 5.5%, 5.6%, 5.7%, 5.8%, 5.9%, 6%, 6.1%, 6.2%, 6.3%, 6.4%, 6.5%, 6.6%, 6.7%, 6.8%, 6.9%, 7%, 7.1%, 7.2%, 7.3%, 7.4%, 7.5%, 7.6%, 7.7%, 7.8%, 7.9%, or 8% terpene essential oil content by weight of the dried inflorescence.
[92281 In some embodiments, the terpene content of the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure is described in relative terms as a percentage composition of the total Terpene Profile.
Thus for example a Specialty Cannabis with 1.2% absolute terpinolene content and 1.2% limonene content and no other terpenes in the Terpene Profile would said to have 50%
terpinolene and 50%
limonene relative content.
192291 In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention has a relative content of any one of the 17 terpenes in the Terpene Profile that is greater than or less than 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 79%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%, including any ranges therebetween. Thus in some embodiments the relative content of any one of the terpenes is between 0% and 100%. This paragraph is intended to be read as applying to any specific terpene(s) in a Terpene Profile, such that the name of any of one or two or more these terpenes as specifically referred to elsewhere herein (e.g., linalool) can replace the phrase "any one of the 17 terpenes in the Terpene Profile."
10230] In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure produce female inflorescences. In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure have been feminized to produce female seed. In some embodiments, the supporting seed deposits referenced in the present disclosure are feminized. Persons having skill in the art will be familiar with techniques to feminize cannabis seeds, including breeding through treatment with silver thiosulfate, colloidal silver, hormones, and rodelization method.
[02311 Another important breeding phenotype is flower color. The accumulation of anthocyanins, carotenoids, or other color-producing compounds in leaves and flowers of cannabis can have an effect on consumer visual appeal and flavor. Iconic examples of the appeal of color are the popular "Purple Kush", "Purple Haze", and "Purple Trainwreck" varieties that express anthocyanins in their late maturation stages to produce dark purple leaves. Color selections can also be based on (but not limited to) unique coloration of stem, leaf, inflorescence, calyx, stamen, trichome bodies and finished products including extracts and hash.
I92321 Yield is another important factor in breeding. Cannabis yield is measured by pounds (lbs), grams (g) or kilograms (Kg) of dried (e.g., -10% moisture) trimmed flowers.
Yield can be expressed in terms of yield per plant, yield per watt of light, and yield per square meter of growing area among others. Cannabis yield is also dependent on the growing environment. For example, yields for a particular cannabis strain will vary between outdoor growth long season, outdoor growth short season, or indoor growth. Yield may also be affected by growing conditions such as type of lighting, soil, fertilizer use, size of growing pot, etc.

102341 Other desirable yield phenotypes that can be used in the breeding programs of the present disclosure include:
102351 High Yield Natural Light Production Long Season - Selection based on yield performance for early ripening varieties during long seasons.
102361 High Yield Natural Light Production Short Season - Selection based on yield performance of late ripening varieties during long season and/or yield of plants that ripen in winter months and at low light levels.
[0237] High Yield Indoor Production - Selection based solely on plant yield performance in artificial lighting (e.g., HID). Another important phenotype that is important for cannabis production is structural features for easy harvesting.
102381 Structure for Manual Trim/Market - Selections are based on the relative ratio by weight of finished flower. This usually is directly related to dense trichome morphology with very few sun leaves.
[0239] Structure for Automated Trimming - Selection based on flower morphology that is more kola (continuous long bud) with many sun leaves protruding from large inflorescences. Overall flower size is typically large, but trichomes are less densely packed and overall inflorescence is less dense than what is traditionally selected for manual trim.
[0240] Root Structure - Positive root selection is marked by overall root vigor and adventitious root growth, ease of transplant, rate of root development on clonal propagations, and root shooting from tissue culture samples. Root selections can also be based on resistance to soil and hydroponic pathogens including Pythium.
10241j Vigor - Selection for plant vigor are marked by tremendous grow rates and robust stem/stalk infrastructure. Often times, selection display morphologies that are very much enlarged compared to sibling progeny.
[02421 Fungal Resistance - Selections based on plant that exhibit immunity or partial immunity to fungal diseases and pathogens including but not limited to powdery mildew, botrytis, downy mildew among others.
10213] Harvesting by Combine ¨ Selections based on plant ideotypes that are better suited for large-scale, outdoor, field production and harvesting. Examples of applicable traits include stem lodging resistance, stems suitable for machine cutting, resistance to prevalent pests in field production (e.g., corn borers), suitable height for machine combining, etc.

192531 Classical breeding methods can be included in the present invention to introduce one or more recombinant expression cassettes of the present invention into other plant varieties, or other close-related species that are compatible to be crossed with the transgenic plant of the present invention.
102541 In some embodiments, said method comprises (i) crossing any one of the plants of the present invention comprising the expression cassette as a donor to a recipient plant line to create a Fl population; (ii) selecting offspring that have expression cassette.
Optionally, the offspring can be further selected by testing the expression of the gene of interest.
102551 In some embodiments, complete chromosomes of the donor plant are transferred. For example, the transgenic plant with the expression cassette can serve as a male or female parent in a cross pollination to produce offspring plants, wherein by receiving the transgene from the donor plant, the offspring plants have the expression cassette.
102561 In a method for producing plants having the expression cassette, protoplast fusion can also be used for the transfer of the transgene from a donor plant to a recipient plant. Protoplast fusion is an induced or spontaneous union, such as a somatic hybridization, between two or more protoplasts (cells in which the cell walls are removed by enzymatic treatment) to produce a single bi- or multi-nucleate cell. The fused cell that may even be obtained with plant species that cannot be interbred in nature is tissue cultured into a hybrid plant exhibiting the desirable combination of traits. More specifically, a first protoplast can be obtained from a plant having the expression cassette. A second protoplast can be obtained from a second plant line, optionally from another plant species or variety, preferably from the same plant species or variety, that comprises commercially desirable characteristics, such as, but not limited to disease resistance, insect resistance, valuable grain characteristics (e.g., increased seed weight and/or seed size) etc. The protoplasts are then fused using traditional protoplast fusion procedures, which are known in the art to produce the cross.
(0257j Alternatively, embryo rescue may be employed in the transfer of the expression cassette from a donor plant to a recipient plant. Embryo rescue can be used as a procedure to isolate embryos from crosses wherein plants fail to produce viable seed. In this process, the fertilized ovary or immature seed of a plant is tissue cultured to create new plants (see Pierik, 1999, In vitro culture of higher plants, Springer, ISBN 079235267x, 9780792352679, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).
192581 In some embodiments, the recipient plant is an elite line having one or more certain desired traits. Examples of desired traits include but are not limited to those that result in increased biomass production, production of specific chemicals, increased seed production, improved plant material quality, increased seed oil content, etc. Additional examples of desired traits includes pest resistance, vigor, development time (time to harvest), enhanced nutrient content, novel growth patterns, aromas or colors, salt, heat, drought and cold tolerance, and the like. Desired traits also include selectable marker genes (e.g., genes encoding herbicide or antibiotic resistance used only to facilitate detection or selection of transformed cells), hormone biosynthesis genes leading to the production of a plant hormone (e.g., auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and ethylene that are used only for selection), or reporter genes (e.g. luciferase, P-glucuronidase, chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT, etc.). The recipient plant can also be a plant with preferred chemical compositions, e.g., compositions preferred for medical use or industrial applications.
10259] Classical breeding methods can be used to produce new varieties of cannabis according to the present invention. Newly developed Fl hybrids can be reproduced via asexual reproduction.
[0260] Open-Pollinated Populations. The improvement of open-pollinated populations of such crops as rye, many maizes and sugar beets, herbage grasses, legumes such as alfalfa and clover, and tropical tree crops such as cacao, coconuts, oil palm and some rubber, depends essentially upon changing gene-frequencies towards fixation of favorable alleles while maintaining a high (but far from maximal) degree of heterozygosity. Uniformity in such populations is impossible and trueness-to-type in an open-pollinated variety is a statistical feature of the population as a whole, not a characteristic of individual plants. Thus, the heterogeneity of open-pollinated populations contrasts with the homogeneity (or virtually so) of inbred lines, clones and hybrids.
[0261] Population improvement methods fall naturally into two groups, those based on purely phenotypic selection, normally called mass selection, and those based on selection with progeny testing. Interpopulation improvement utilizes the concept of open breeding populations; allowing genes to flow from one population to another. Plants in one population (cultivar, strain, ecotype, or any germplasm source) are crossed either naturally (e.g., by wind) or by hand or by bees (commonly Apis mellifera L. or Megachile rotundata F.) with plants from other populations.
Selection is applied to improve one (or sometimes both) population(s) by isolating plants with desirable traits from both sources.
[02621 There are basically two primary methods of open-pollinated population improvement.
First, there is the situation in which a population is changed en masse by a chosen selection procedure. The outcome is an improved population that is indefinitely propagatable by random-mating within itself in isolation. Second, the synthetic variety attains the same end result as population improvement but is not itself propagatable as such; it has to be reconstructed from parental lines or clones. These plant breeding procedures for improving open-pollinated populations are well known to those skilled in the art and comprehensive reviews of breeding procedures routinely used for improving cross-pollinated plants are provided in numerous texts and articles, including: Allard, Principles of Plant Breeding, John Wiley &
Sons, Inc. (1960);
Simmonds, Principles of Crop Improvement, Longman Group Limited (1979);
Hallauer and Miranda, Quantitative Genetics in Maize Breeding, Iowa State University Press (1981); and, Jensen, Plant Breeding Methodology, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1988).
10263] Mass Selection. In mass selection, desirable individual plants are chosen, harvested, and the seed composited without progeny testing to produce the following generation. Since selection is based on the maternal parent only, and there is no control over pollination, mass selection amounts to a form of random mating with selection. As stated herein, the purpose of mass selection is to increase the proportion of superior genotypes in the population.
102641 Synthetics. A synthetic variety is produced by crossing inter se a number of genotypes selected for good combining ability in all possible hybrid combinations, with subsequent maintenance of the variety by open pollination. Whether parents are (more or less inbred) seed-propagated lines, as in some sugar beet and beans (Vicia) or clones, as in herbage grasses, clovers and alfalfa, makes no difference in principle. Parents are selected on general combining ability, sometimes by test crosses or toperosses, more generally by polycrosses.
Parental seed lines may be deliberately inbred (e.g. by selfing or sib crossing). However, even if the parents are not deliberately inbred, selection within lines during line maintenance will ensure that some inbreeding occurs. Clonal parents will, of course, remain unchanged and highly heterozygous.
[0265] Whether a synthetic can go straight from the parental seed production plot to the farmer or must first undergo one or two cycles of multiplication depends on seed production and the scale of demand for seed. In practice, grasses and clovers are generally multiplied once or twice and are thus considerably removed from the original synthetic.
[02661 While mass selection is sometimes used, progeny testing is generally preferred for polycrosses, because of their operational simplicity and obvious relevance to the objective, namely exploitation of general combining ability in a synthetic.
102671 The numbers of parental lines or clones that enter a synthetic vary widely. In practice, numbers of parental lines range from 10 to several hundred, with 100-200 being the average.
Broad based synthetics formed from 100 or more clones would be expected to be more stable during seed multiplication than narrow based synthetics.
10268] Pedigreed varieties. A pedigreed variety is a superior genotype developed from selection of individual plants out of a segregating population followed by propagation and seed increase of self-pollinated offspring and careful testing of the genotype over several generations. This is an open pollinated method that works well with naturally self-pollinating species. This method can be used in combination with mass selection in variety development. Variations in pedigree and mass selection in combination are the most common methods for generating varieties in self-pollinated crops.
102691 Hybrids. A hybrid is an individual plant resulting from a cross between parents of differing genotypes. Commercial hybrids are now used extensively in many crops, including corn (maize), sorghum, sugar beet, sunflower and broccoli. Hybrids can be formed in a number of different ways, including by crossing two parents directly (single cross hybrids), by crossing a single cross hybrid with another parent (three-way or triple cross hybrids), or by crossing two different hybrids (four-way or double cross hybrids).
102701 Strictly speaking, most individuals in an out breeding (i.e., open-pollinated) population are hybrids, but the term is usually reserved for cases in which the parents are individuals whose genomes are sufficiently distinct for them to be recognized as different species or subspecies.
Hybrids may be fertile or sterile depending on qualitative and/or quantitative differences in the genomes of the two parents. Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, is usually associated with increased heterozygosity that results in increased vigor of growth, survival, and fertility of hybrids as compared with the parental lines that were used to form the hybrid. Maximum heterosis is usually achieved by crossing two genetically different, highly inbred lines.
Plant Transformation [0271] Specialty Cannabis plants of the present invention can be further modified by introducing into the plants one or more transgenes which when expressed lead to desired phenotypes. The most common method for the introduction of new genetic material into a plant genome involves the use of living cells of the bacterial pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens to literally inject a piece of DNA, called transfer or T-DNA, into individual plant cells (usually following wounding of the tissue) where it is targeted to the plant nucleus for chromosomal integration. There are numerous patents governing Agrobacterium mediated transformation and particular DNA delivery plasmids designed specifically for use with Agrobacterium---for example, US4536475, EP0265556, EP0270822, W08504899, W08603516, US5591616, EP0604662, EP0672752, W08603776, W09209696, W09419930, W09967357, US4399216, W08303259, US5731179, EP068730, W09516031, US 5693512, US 6051757 and EP904362A1. Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation involves as a first step the placement of DNA fragments cloned on plasmids into living Agrobacterium cells, which are then subsequently used for transformation into individual plant cells. Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation is thus an indirect plant transformation method. Methods of Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation that involve using vectors with no T-DNA are also well known to those skilled in the art and can have applicability in the present invention. See, for example, U.S. Patent No.
7,250,554, which utilizes P-DNA instead of T-DNA in the transformation vector.
[02721 Direct plant transformation methods using DNA have also been reported.
The first of these to be reported historically is electroporation, which utilizes an electrical current applied to a solution containing plant cells (M. E. Fromm et al., Nature, 319, 791 (1986);
H. Jones et al., Plant Mol. Biol., 13, 501 (1989) and H. Yang et al., Plant Cell Reports, 7, 421 (1988). Another direct method, called "biolistic bombardment", uses ultrafine particles, usually tungsten or gold, that are coated with DNA and then sprayed onto the surface of a plant tissue with sufficient force to cause the particles to penetrate plant cells, including the thick cell wall, membrane and nuclear envelope, but without killing at least some of them (US 5,204,253, US 5,015,580). A
third direct method uses fibrous forms of metal or ceramic consisting of sharp, porous or hollow needle-like projections that literally impale the cells, and also the nuclear envelope of cells. Both silicon carbide and aluminum borate whiskers have been used for plant transformation (Mizuno et al., 2004; Petolino et al., 2000; U553 02523 US Application 20040197909) and also for bacterial and animal transformation (Kaepler et al., 1992; Raloff, 1990; Wang, 1995). There are other methods reported, and undoubtedly, additional methods will be developed. However, the efficiencies of each of these indirect or direct methods in introducing foreign DNA into plant cells are invariably extremely low, making it necessary to use some method for selection of only those cells that have been transformed, and further, allowing growth and regeneration into plants of only those cells that have been transformed.
102731 For efficient plant transformation, a selection method must be employed such that whole plants are regenerated from a single transformed cell and every cell of the transformed plant carries the DNA of interest. These methods can employ positive selection, whereby a foreign gene is supplied to a plant cell that allows it to utilize a substrate present in the medium that it otherwise could not use, such as mannose or xylose (for example, refer US 5,767,378; US
5994629). More typically, however, negative selection is used because it is more efficient, utilizing selective agents such as herbicides or antibiotics that either kill or inhibit the growth of nontransformed plant cells and reducing the possibility of chimeras. Resistance genes that are effective against negative selective agents are provided on the introduced foreign DNA used for the plant transformation.
For example, one of the most popular selective agents used is the antibiotic kanamycin, together with the resistance gene neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII), which confers resistance to kanamycin and related antibiotics (see, for example, Messing & Vierra, Gene 19: 259-268 (1982);
Bevan et al., Nature 304:184-187 (1983)). However, many different antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes can be used for transformation purposes (refer US 5034322, US
6174724 and US
6255560). In addition, several herbicides and herbicide resistance genes have been used for transformation purposes, including the bar gene, which confers resistance to the herbicide phosphinothricin (White et al., Nucl Acids Res 18: 1062 (1990), Spencer et al., Theor Appl Genet 79: 625-631(1990), US 4795855, US 5378824 and US 6107549). In addition, the dhfr gene, which confers resistance to the anticancer agent methotrexate, has been used for selection (Bourouis et al., EMBO J. 2(7): 1099-1104 (1983).
[02741 Genes can be introduced in a site directed fashion using homologous recombination.
Homologous recombination permits site specific modifications in endogenous genes and thus inherited or acquired mutations may be corrected, and/or novel alterations may be engineered into the genome. Homologous recombination and site-directed integration in plants are discussed in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,451,513, 5,501,967 and 5,527,695.
102751 Methods of producing transgenic plants are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Transgenic plants can now be produced by a variety of different transformation methods including, but not limited to, electroporation; microinjection; microprojectile bombardment, also known as particle acceleration or biolistic bombardment; viral-mediated transformation;
and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos.

[02761 Microprojectile bombardment is also known as particle acceleration, biolistic bombardment, and the gene gun (Biolistic Gene Gun). The gene gun is used to shoot pellets that are coated with genes (e.g., for desired traits) into plant seeds or plant tissues in order to get the plant cells to then express the new genes. The gene gun uses an actual explosive (.22 caliber blank) to propel the material. Compressed air or steam may also be used as the propellant. The Biolistic Gene Gun was invented in 1983-1984 at Cornell University by John Sanford, Edward Wolf, and Nelson Allen. It and its registered trademark are now owned by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company. Most species of plants have been transformed using this method.
192771 Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a naturally occurring bacterium that is capable of inserting its DNA (genetic information) into plants, resulting in a type of injury to the plant known as crown gall. Most species of plants can now be transformed using this method, including cucurbitaceous species. A transgenic plant formed using Agrobacterium transformation methods typically contains a single gene on one chromosome, although multiple copies are possible. Such transgenic plants can be referred to as being hemizygous for the added gene. A more accurate name for such a plant is an independent segregant, because each transformed plant represents a unique T-DNA
integration event (U.S. Patent No. 6,156,953). A transgene locus is generally characterized by the presence and/or absence of the transgene. A heterozygous genotype in which one allele corresponds to the absence of the transgene is also designated hemizygous (U.S. Patent No.
6,008,437).

In other embodiments the essential oil contents of the cannabinoid compositions of the present invention is between about 1.0% and about 25% by weight of the composition.
[008j In some embodiments, the cannabinoid compositions of the present invention has greater than 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, 5%, 5.1%, 5.2%, 5.3%, 5.4%, 5.5%, 5.6%, 5.7%, 5.8%, 5.9%, 6%, 6.1%, 6.2%, 6.3%, 6.4%, 6.5%, 6.6%, 6.7%, 6.8%, 6.9%, 7%, 7.1%, 7.2%, 7.3%, 7.4%, 7.5%, 7.6%, 7.7%, 7.8%, 7.9%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, or 60% terpene essential oil content by weight of the composition.
[03091 In some embodiments, the terpene content of the cannabinoid compositions of the present disclosure is described in relative terms as a percentage composition of the total Terpene Profile.
Thus for example a cannabinoid compositions with 1.2% absolute terpinolene content and 1.2%
limonene content and no other terpenes in the Terpene Profile would said to have 50% terpinolene and 50% limonene relative content.
[0310] In some embodiments, the cannabinoid compositions of the present invention has a relative content of any one of the 17 terpenes in the Terpene Profile that is greater than or less than 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 79%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%, including any ranges therebetween. Thus in some embodiments the relative content of any one of the terpenes is between 0% and 100%. This paragraph is intended to be read as applying to any specific terpene(s) in a Terpene Profile, such that the name of any of one or two or more these terpenes as specifically referred to elsewhere herein (e.g., linalool) can replace the phrase "any one of the 17 terpenes in the Terpene Profile."

Cannabis Extracts [03191 In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides for extracts from Specialty Cannabis plants. Cannabis extracts or products or the present disclosure include:
[03201 Kief- refers to trichomes collected from cannabis. The trichomes of cannabis are the areas of cannabinoid and terpene accumulation. Kief can be gathered from containers where cannabis flowers have been handled. It can be obtained from mechanical separation of the trichomes from inflorescence tissue through methods such as grinding flowers, or collecting and sifting through dust after manicuring or handling cannabis. Kief can be pressed into hashish for convenience or storage.
193211 Hash- sometimes known as hashish, is often composed of preparations of cannabis trichomes. Hash pressed from kief is often solid.
193221 Bubble Hash- sometimes called bubble melt hash can take on paste-like properties with varying hardness and pliability. Bubble hash is usually made via water separation in which cannabis material is placed in a cold water bath and stirred for a long time (around 1 hour). Once the mixture settles it can be sifted to collect the hash.
[0323i Solvent reduced oils- also sometimes known as hash oil, honey oil, or full melt hash among other names. This type of cannabis oil is made by soaking plant material in a chemical solvent.
After separating plant material, the solvent can be boiled or evaporated off, leaving the oil behind.
Butane Hash Oil is produced by passing butane over cannabis and then letting the butane evaporate. Budder or Wax is produced through isopropyl extraction of cannabis.
The resulting substance is a wax like golden brown paste. Another common extraction solvent for creating cannabis oil is CO2. Persons having skill in the art will be familiar with CO2 extraction techniques and devices, including those disclosed in US 20160279183, US 2015/01505455, US
9,730,911, and US 2018/0000857. Other guidance on CO2 extractions of cannabinoids and terpenes can be found in Perrotin-Brunel et al. "Solubility of non-psychoactive cannabinoids in supercritical carbon dioxide and comparison with psychoactive cannabinoids" The Journal of Supercritical Fluids, 55(2010) 603-608; Rovetto and Aieta, "Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of cannabinoids from Cannabis sativa L." The Journal of Supercritical Fluids 129 (2017) 16-27;
Porto and Natolino. "Separation of aroma compounds from industrial hemp inflorescences (Cannabis sativa L.) by supercritical CO2 extraction and on-line fractionation" Industrial Crops and Products 58 (2014) 99-103; US Pat. No. 6,403,126; US Pat No. 7,700,368;
and U520030050334.
[03241 Tinctures- are alcoholic extracts of cannabis. These are usually made by mixing cannabis material with high proof ethanol and separating out plant material.
103251 E-juice- are cannabis extracts dissolved in either propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, or a combination of both. Some E-juice formulations will also include polyethylene glycol and flavorings. E-juice tends to be less viscous than solvent reduced oils and is commonly consumed on e-cigarettes or pen vaporizers.
193261 Rick Simpson Oil (ethanol extractions)- are extracts produced by contacting cannabis with ethanol and later evaporating the vast majority of ethanol away to create a cannabinoid paste. In some embodiments, the extract produced from contacting the cannabis with ethanol is heated so as to decarboxylate the extract.
193271 In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention is extracted via methods that preserve the cannabinoid and terpenes. In other embodiments, said methods can be used with any cannabis plants. The extracts of the present invention are designed to produce products for human or animal consumption via inhalation (via combustion, vaporization and nebulization), buccal absorption within the mouth, oral administration, and topical application delivery methods. The present invention teaches an optimized method at which we extract compounds of interest, by extracting at the point when the drying harvested plant has reached 15%
water weight, which minimizes the loss of terpenes and plant volatiles of interest. Stems are typically still 'cool' and 'rubbery' from evaporation taking place. This timeframe (or if frozen at this point in process) allow extractor to minimize terpene loss to evaporation. There is a direct correlation between cool/slow/dry and preservation of essential oils. Thus, there is a direct correlation to EO loss in flowers that dry too fast, or too hot conditions or simply dry out too much (<10% H20).
I 0328] The chemical extraction of Specialty Cannabis can be accomplished employing polar and non-polar solvents in various phases at varying pressures and temperatures to selectively or comprehensively extract terpenes, cannabinoids and other compounds of flavor, fragrance or pharmacological value for use individually or combination in the formulation of our products. The extractions can be shaped and formed into single or multiple dose packages, e.g., dabs, pellets and loads. The solvents employed for selective extraction of our cultivars may include water, carbon dioxide, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, butane, propane, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, hexane, and limonene, in combination or series. We can also extract compounds of interest mechanically by sieving the plant parts that produce those compounds. Measuring the plant part, i.e. trichome gland head, to be sieved via optical or electron microscopy can aid the selection of the optimal sieve pore size, ranging from 30 to 130 microns, to capture the plant part of interest.
The chemical and mechanical extraction methods of the present invention can be used to produce products that combine chemical extractions with plant parts containing compounds of interest. The extracts of the present invention may also be combined with pure compounds of interest to the extractions, e.g. cannabinoids or terpenes to further enhance or modify the resulting formulation's fragrance, flavor or pharmacology.
[03291 In some embodiments, the extractions are supplemented with terpenes or cannabinoids to adjust for any loss of those compounds during extraction processes. In some embodiments, the cannabis extracts of the present invention mimic the chemistry of the cannabis flower material. In some embodiments, the cannabis extracts of the present invention will about the same cannabinoid and Terpene Profile of the dried flowers of the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention.
103301 Extracts of the present invention can be used for vaporization, production of e-juice or tincture for e-cigarettes, or for the production of other consumable products such as edibles or topical spreads.
Use of Specialty Cannabis and Cannabinoid Compositions in Edibles I0331] Cannabis edibles such as candy, brownies, and other foods are a popular method of consuming cannabis for medicinal and recreational purposes. In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure and/or the cannabinoid compositions of the present disclosure can be used to make cannabis edibles. Most cannabis edible recipes begin with the extraction of cannabinoids and terpenes, which are then used as an ingredient in various edible recipes.
[03321 In one embodiment, the cannabis extract used to make edibles out of the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention is cannabis butter. Cannabis butter is made by melting butter in a container with cannabis and letting it simmer for about half an hour, or until the butter turns green. The butter is then chilled and used in normal recipes. Other extraction methods for edibles include extraction into cooking oil, milk, cream, flour (grinding cannabis and blending with flour for baking). Lipid rich extraction mediums/edibles are believed to facilitate absorption of cannabinoids into the blood stream. THC absorbed by the body is converted by the liver into 11-hydroxy-THC. This modification increases the ability of the THC molecule to bind to the CB1 receptor and also facilitates crossing of the brain blood barrier thereby increasing the potency and duration of its effects.

EXAMPLES
Example 1. Chemical Analysis of Cannabinoids and Terpenes.
103351 Chemical analyses of the parental and progeny Specialty Cannabis varieties of the present disclosure, and of the cannabinoid compositions of the present disclosure, were each carried out using standard chemical separation and detection techniques well known to those skilled in the arts. Qualitative identification of cannabinoids and terpenes was carried out by GCMS, while quantitative analysis was done by GC-FID and/or HPLC-PDA (Photo Diode Array).
Initial field analyses of cannabinoids was performed using thin layer chromatography as described in ("Cannabis Inflorescence & Leaf QC" from The American Herbal Pharmacopeia 2013). The in-house assays for cannabinoids included orthogonal methods of GC-FID and HPLC
for the highest level of accuracy.
03361 Plant inflorescence samples were prepared by grinding ¨5 g of dried cannabis flower material in a coffee grinder. From this homogenized material, 1000 20 mg was placed in a 50mL
falcon tube with ¨1 g of 2mm beads and 15 mL of working solution. Each sample was placed in the bead beater (1600 MiniG from Spex Sample Prep) and homogenized on high for 6 minutes.
Then approximately 2mL of each sample were transferred to 2mL centrifuge vials and centrifuged at 10000 g for 5 minutes. For samples suspected of having higher or lower concentrations of analytes the mass to volume ratio of the extraction could be adjusted. The neat sample was placed in a GC vial for terpene analysis without dilution. The supernatant was also diluted with working solution for GC and HPLC analysis. A 1:96 dilution provided the appropriate concentration for analysis of cannabinoids present at concentrations above 2.3%, while a 1:6 dilution allowed for analysis of cannabinoids below this level.
i. Terpenoids by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-F1D) I9337] Terpenes were quantified by a method developed on a GC-FID instrument from Perkin Elmer (Waltham, MA). It is recognized among analytical scientists that terpene measurements conducted via HPLC are unreliable, as HPLC is not effective at measuring volatiles, such as terpenes. This method separates and quantifies 17 different terpenoids commonly found in cannabis plant tissue. The terpenoids are each quantified by their own individual calibration curves generated with analytical reference standards (Sigma Aldrich) and all use n-nonane as the internal standard.
10338] The instrumentation includes a Clarus 680 gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with an autosampler, an Elite-5 column (Perkin Elmer (Waltham, MA), 30 m length, 0.25 mm internal diameter, 0.25 lam thickness film diameter) and a flame ionization detector (FID). Instrument control and data acquisition and analyses was accomplished by TotalChrom software version 1.2.3.4 (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA).
(9339i Calibration curves were generated by injecting each standard in triplicate and the RSDs provided the measure of precision while the absolute accuracy was determined by comparing the concentrations of the standards predicted by the calibration curve to their "known" values determined by dilution ratios. AOAC International standards for accuracy and precision were used as quality guidelines for every calibration. Check standards were run at the start, middle, and end of every analysis, and recalibration was performed when they varied more than +1- 5% of their initial average response. Levels that failed the acceptance criteria and analytes were not quantified at those levels until recalibration of the instrument corrected the deficiency. Most of the curves were linear to nearly two orders of magnitude and based on the sample mass extracted (500 mg) and the two possible extraction volumes (3x3 mL or 3x5mL), this provided quantitation of terpene levels from 0.01-0.9% or 0.02-1.5% (typical) in the plant matrix.
Cannabinoids by GC-FID
10340i Cannabinoids were quantified by an analytical method developed and run on a Perkin Elmer (Waltham, MA) GC-FID instrument as well. This method was developed to separate six neutral cannabinoids, CBD, CBG, CBN, THC, A8-THC, and CBC. The cannabinoids are each quantified by their own individual calibration curves generated with analytical reference standards (Restek) and all use tricosane as the internal standard. The retention time of THCV was determined by analyzing THVO1 (vide infra) by GCMS, however since analytical standards were not available it was "quantified" by referencing the calibration curve for THC.
10341] There was no need to consider chromatographic separation of acidic forms of the cannabinoids due to their immediate conversion to neutral form in the heated injector of the instrument, although a thorough study of the conversion efficiency of THCA was performed and is discussed in section iv. (orthogonal analyses of all samples).
0342] The instrumentation includes a Clarus 680 gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with an autosampler, an Elite-1 column (Perkin Elmer (Waltham, MA), 30 m length, 0.25 mm internal diameter, 0.25 pm thickness film diameter) and a flame ionization detector (FID). Instrument control and data acquisition and analyses was accomplished by TotalChrom software version 1.2.3.4 (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA).
I9343] Calibration curves were generated by injecting each standard in triplicate and the RSDs provided the measure of precision while the absolute accuracy was determined by comparing the concentrations of the standards predicted by the calibration curve to their "known" values determined by dilution ratios. AOAC International standards for accuracy and precision were used as quality guidelines for every calibration. Check standards were run at the start, middle, and end of every analysis, and recalibration was performed when they varied more than +/- 5% of their initial average response. Levels that failed the acceptance criteria and analytes were not quantified at those levels until recalibration of the instrument corrected the deficiency.
10344] Due to the very linear nature of the FID detector, the GC-FID
cannabinoid assay generally provided satisfactory results over nearly two orders of magnitude (up to 1.0 mg/mL), however in order to use the same calibration solutions and "validation" procedures for both GC and HPLC the range was reduced to that of the HPLC method. Based on the sample mass extracted (500 mg) and a 3x3mL extraction (low oil samples), a 1:3 dilution provided quantitation of cannabinoid levels from 0.09-1.35% and the 1:40 dilution from 1.15-18% in the plant matrix. A 3x5mL
extraction (high oil samples, typical), a 1:3 dilution provided quantitation of cannabinoid levels from 0.14-2.25% and the 1:40 dilution from 1.9-30% in the plant matrix.
Cannabinoids by high performance liquid chromatography ¨ photo diode array detector (HPLC-PDA) 03451 An HPLC-PDA (also known as HPLC-DAD, or simply HPLC) assay was developed as an orthogonal method to GC-FID for cannabinoid analyses. This method quantifies six neutral cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBN, THC, A8-THC, and CBC) as well as the acid cannabinoids THCA, CBDA and CBGA amongst other acidic cannabinoids, based on calibration curves generated with analytical standards and an internal reference standard (ibuprofen).
193461 All HPLC analyses were performed using a Agilent 1290 System (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). The HPLC system comprised G4212A diode array detector, a temperature controlled column compartment, a G4226A autosampler, and a G4204A
quaternary pump. Separation of the cannabinoids was achieved on a Poroshell 120 EC- C18 column (2.7 150mm x 2.1mm i.d., PN 693775-902) with a Poroshell 120 EC-C18 guard column (2.7 p,, 5mm x 2.1mm i.d., PN 821725-911) in place (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA).
Instrument control, data acquisition and integration was achieved with OpenLab CDS
ChemStation Rev C.01.06 software (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA).
I 0317] Calibration was achieved by performing a five-point calibration curve (0.016 ¨ 0.25mg/mL
for each analyte) followed by linear regression analysis. This analysis was performed with Microsoft Excel (Redmond, WA) software. The calibration curves were generated by injecting each standard in triplicate and the RSDs provided the measure of precision while the absolute accuracy was determined by comparing the concentrations of the standards predicted by the calibration curve to their "known" values determined by dilution ratios. AOAC
International standards for accuracy and precision were used as quality guidelines for every calibration. Check standards were run at the start, middle, and end of every analysis, and recalibration was performed when they varied more than +/- 5% of their initial average response.
iv. Orthogonal analyses of all samples [03481 The cannabinoid content was quantified by both GC-FID and EIPLC. The main difference between GC and EIPLC is that GC involves thermal stress and mainly resolves analytes by boiling points while EIPLC does not involve heat and mainly resolves analytes by polarity. There are several reasons that this orthogonal approach to analyses is desirable for highly accurate and reproducible results in determining chemotype. The first reason is related to the difference between the cannabinoids produced naturally by the plant (the acidic cannabinoids) and those that are bioactive (the neutral cannabinoids). Cannabis biosynthesizes all the cannabinoids in their relatively unstable acidic forms, and these forms are generally not bioactive in the traditional sense.
The application of heat (flame, vaporizer, oven, etc.) causes a loss of the carboxylic acid group and generates the neutral forms of the cannabinoids, which are generally the bioactive forms that are sought after, however this process is highly variable and not quantitative. If one wants to know the native phytochemical profile of the plant then EIPLC should be used since this assay does not involve heat. If one wants to know the possible available amount of bioactive cannabinoids, then GC should be used since conversion to these forms in the injector of the GC is an inherent part of the analytical method.
103491 The second reason is also related to the difference between the acidic and neutral cannabinoids, but has to do with the availability of analytical standards to calibrate the instruments.
While all of the neutral cannabinoids (THC, CBG, CBC, CBD, and CBN) are available as analytical standards, THCA is the only acidic cannabinoid available as an analytical standard and the instruments were only calibrated for quantification using actual analytical standards.
Technically the HPLC assay could characterize the naturally occurring chemotypes, but the acidic analytes are not available as standards, so this quantification is approximate and considered for information only. The acidic analytes are all quantified by reference to the calibration curve for THCA, and this is not an unreasonable assumption as many of them have approximately the same spectral properties. The GC assay is calibrated with analytical standards, but these are the neutral cannabinoids and their formation from the naturally occurring acidic cannabinoids in the GC
injector is not quantitative, which complicates exact characterization of the naturally occurring chemotype.
103501 The final reason is simply to have an internal crosscheck of our results by using orthogonal testing methods. Each type of assay (GC and HPLC) has its strengths and weaknesses, and by using both methods, one can compare results and ensure that both the identification and quantitation of the components are accurate. A caveat to this, as mentioned above, is that the conversion of the acidic forms to the neutral forms is not quantitative due to thermal degradation.
Under the highly optimized conditions of a GC injector, we have found conversion can vary between 75-85% (for analytical THCA standards), while cannabis samples generally have a conversion of 70-80%. Similar conversion rates are also described in literature for highly optimized analytical instruments (Dussy et al. 2004). Because of this incomplete conversion our GC results are consistently 20-30% lower than the HPLC results for cannabis samples. This same conversion efficiency can be applied to estimate the maximum availability of THC based on THCA content when smoking or vaporizing cannabis.
v. Method "validation"
R13511 Method validation is important in establishing that a method is fit for its intended purpose, providing assurance that the results that are reported are precise, accurate, and reflective of the sample. Very few labs in the cannabis industry attempt to validate their assays and this fact, combined with inappropriate sampling have resulted in erroneous data for several varieties. In order to validate the analytical methods employed for this project, an abbreviated protocol similar to Single Laboratory Validation (SLV) was carried out. Assay "validation" was carried out by spiking blank matrix with the analytes at low, med, and high concentrations and carrying out the assay procedure in replicate (n=5). While some analytes provided better results than others the analyte RSDs, recoveries, and precisions at these concentrations satisfied AOAC guidance (based on mg/mL). In general, the RSDs for the terpenes at the low, medium, and high concentrations (varied by terpene but generally 0.016, 0.125, and 1.0 mg/mL) were less than 5%, 4%, and 3%
respectively. The absolute bias for these analytes was generally less than 10%, 4%, and 2%. In general the RSDs for the cannabinoids by both GC and HPLC at the low, medium, and high concentrations (0.016, 0.61, and 0.250 mg/mL) were less than 2%, 2%, and 1%
respectively. The absolute bias for these analytes was generally less than 10%, 2%, and 2%. The assays all provided satisfactory S/N ratios at the lowest level and this was initially taken as the LOQ. After subsequent re-calibrations (n=3 at each level), the LOQ was taken as the lowest level of the calibration curve that provided acceptable accuracy (<10% error) determined by comparing the known concentration levels (determined by dilution ratios) to the predicted levels (obtained from the signal and calibration curve).
[0352] The error between the known and measured values establishes the accuracy of the method and verifies that real samples do not present any matrix effects that influence the resulting measurements. The precision, or closeness of individual measurements, of the method is also determined by carrying out all analyses in replicate (n=5). Guidance for acceptable values was taken from publications provided by the AOAC.
I9353 I The in-house validation revealed that the above-described chemical analysis methods were accurate and reliable, and the use of orthogonal methods of analyses provided an internal check on the assays as well as an understanding of the use of GC to analyze thermally unstable molecules.
Using multiple dilution ratios kept samples in the linear ranges of the assays, and method validation verified that precise and accurate results were obtained. Similar methods for analyzing cannabinoids and terpenes are also discussed I Giese et al. "Development and Validation of a Reliable and Robust Method for the Analysis of Cannabinoids and Terpenes in Cannabis" Journal of AOAC International Vol. 98 No. 6, 2015, incorporated herein by reference.

Example 2. Volunteer trials using high propyl cannabinoid hemp. (PROPHETIC).
[93541 In order to demonstrate the added utility of the high propyl cannabinoid Specialty Cannabis hemp varieties of the present invention, volunteer comparison trials will conducted. During these trials, volunteers will be provided with cannabis blends with varying terpene and cannabinoid profiles to determine the effect of Specialty Cannabis with higher propyl content.
[03551 The volunteer trial for higher propyl content hemp will be conducted over 2 weeks.
Volunteers will be split into six groups (1-6). Each volunteer in the group will be given two samples (a control and a comparator blend). In this trial, the control comparator blends will be prepared to contain nearly identical levels of a non-propyl cannabinoids (e.g.
THC, and/or CBD), but each week the comparator will be formulated so as to include different levels of THCV and/or CBDV added (e.g., either 2%, 5%, or 7.5% CBDV added in).
103561 Thirty volunteers will be recruited and asked to fill out surveys inquiring about the experience of smoking/vaporizing each sample. Surveys will also ask volunteers questions related to their physiological response to the sample. An example of the type of questionnaire that will be used is shown in Figure 2.
Example 3. Volunteer trials using high propyl cannabinoid compositions.
(PROPHETIC).
10357] Volunteer comparison trials will be conducted to determine the effect of increased propyl cannabinoid content in cannabis compositions with no more than 0.3% THC
contents. Volunteer trials will be conducted in similar fashion to those of Example 2.
103581 Briefly, each volunteer in the group will be given two composition samples (a control and a comparator blend). The samples will be provided in single-use e-cigarettes or in tinctures designed to be vaporized or administered to the mucosa/swallowed, respectively. In this trial, the control comparator compositions will be prepared to contain nearly identical levels of a non-propyl cannabinoid (e.g. THC, and/or CBD), but each week the comparator will be formulated so as to include different levels of a propyl cannabinoid added (e.g., either 2%, 5%, or 7.5% CBDV
added in).
[0359] Thirty volunteers will be recruited and asked to fill out surveys inquiring about the experience of smoking each sample. Surveys will also ask volunteers questions related to their physiological response to the sample. An example of the type of questionnaire that will be used is shown in Figure 2.
Example 4. Analysis of Parental Varieties 103601 One objective of the inventions of the present disclosure was to develop cannabis varieties accumulating high levels of propyl cannabinoids with no more than 0.3% or 0.2%
THC content.
This goal was achieved through a multi-pronged cannabis breeding program that utilized existing public and proprietary cannabis lines to produce novel cannabis germplasms exhibiting high levels of propyl cannabinoids, with no more than 0.3% or 0.2% THC content across varied genetic and phenotypic backgrounds.
[0361.1 As an initial step, the cannabinoid profiles of each parental line was determined using HPLC as described in Example 1. The resulting measurements of the initial parental lines are summarized in Table 3. All of the initial parental lines exhibited either only trace amounts of propyl cannabinoid content, or accumulated greater than 0.3% THC content.
Table 3 also reports the cannabinoid contents of several intermediate filial generations generated during each breeding scheme that were used as parents for the final progeny lines.

*All Max values were calculated based on theoretical maximum formulas disclosed in this application. N/A indicates that the cannabinoid was not tested. Total Max Propyl Cannabinoids reflects the additive content of decarboxylated equivalents of THCVA, THCV, CBDVA, CBDV, CBGVA, and CBGV as defined in earlier sections of this document. 1-d Example 5. Breeding of Specialty Cannabis 193621 One objective of the inventions of the present disclosure was to develop cannabis varieties accumulating high levels of propyl cannabinoids with no more than 0.3% or 0.2%
THC content.
In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis varieties of the present invention were additionally selected for their ability to produce terpenes that are appealing to patients and that may also provide a pharmacological activity that modifies, enhances or ameliorates the effects of the cannabinoids.
Thus, a secondary objective of the breeding programs of the present disclosure was to produce plants with high terpene oil content and diverse Terpene Profiles.
103631 In order to achieve these objectives, the parental cannabis varieties of Example 4 were incorporated into a multi-pronged cannabis breeding program to develop Specialty Cannabis plants and varieties. Figures 3-8 depict the breeding schemes for six exemplary independently produced high propyl hemp varieties of the present disclosure.
10364j The breeding schemes of Figures 3-8 were designed to increase propyl cannabinoid production in hemp cannabis lines. These schemes resulted in novel cannabis hemp varieties exhibiting 10-100X propyl cannabinoid contents of the parental lines. In some instances, the resulting progeny also exhibited high oil contents and varied terpene phenotypes.
103651 The present disclosure envisions further crosses from those described in Figures 3-8. In one representative version of this breeding regime the resultant Fl progeny from the crosses of any one of Figures 3-8, or Tables 5-18 can be selfed to bulk up F2 seed. In some embodiments, the F2 seed will be used for biological deposit.
10366] F2 seed can further be grown to produce F2 progeny. Selection for desirable phenotypes and/or genotypes can be conducted within the Fl, F2, or subsequent progeny since the selections can be maintained (i.e., fixed) via asexual reproduction. Alternatively, the F2 progeny can be crossed among themselves to produce a bulked F3 population from which desired progeny can be selected and/or further generations of crossing can be conducted. Again, selected F2 progeny can be maintained (i.e., fixed) via asexual reproduction. In another embodiment, the resultant Fl progeny can by backcrossed to high propyl cannabinoid parent or a hemp variety to further reinforce the traits of other parent. In some embodiments, the cannabinoid and terpene components of Specialty Cannabis hemp lines of the present disclosure can be maintained by extracting the cannabinoid and terpene contents. In some embodiments, the resulting extract will mimic the cannabinoid and terpene contents of the plant/inflorescence. In some embodiments, extracts of the present disclosure can be stored indefinitely.
103671 According to the present invention, the lines can also be further selected for a specific content of certain other cannabinoids and/or of certain terpenes/terpenoids, and/or for additional phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Desirable phenotypic characteristics include but are not limited to larger plant size (i.e., greater bulk or biomass), higher production of flower buds, larger flowers, more trichomes, shorter plant stature, ability to tolerate lower and/or higher growing temperatures, greater germination percentage, greater seedling vigor, more efficient water usage, disease resistance, pest resistance, and other desirable agronomic and production traits. For an overview of diseases and pests of importance to cannabis production see Clarke et al. (2000) Hemp Diseases and Pests: Management and Biological Control. An Advanced Treatise (CABI
Publishing).
103681 The progeny resulting from any selection stage of either the crosses described in Figures 3-8, or any of the described selfing, sib crosses, or backcrossing versions of the breeding regimes of the present invention can be asexually reproduced so as to fix and maintain the desirable content, propyl cannabinoid content, low THC content, the aroma and flavor(s) typical of the desired class, and the other desirable phenotypic and/or genotypic characteristics. The resultant selected lines will be designated as Specialty Cannabis Varieties.
[0369] The resultant Specialty Cannabis plants of the present invention also generally have more terpene essential oil content per plant than contemporary hemp varieties. More terpene essential oil per plant means less plant matter is required per treatment/administration, thereby also further minimizing any health risks for medical and recreational cannabis smokers/consumers. This would also further increase production efficiency.
Example 6. Chemical Analysis of Specialty Cannabis 19370] The new Specialty Cannabis varieties created through crosses as described in Example 5 were subjected to cannabinoid and terpene chemical analysis as described in Example 1. The resulting breeding schemes of Example 5 produced six separate lines of high propyl cannabinoid Specialty Cannabis hemp germplasm (03.52.01X09.S1.01,"03.S2.16X09.S1.01,' '012.09.10X09.S1.01,' `V24.S1.P09X09.S1.01,' `V24.52.26X09.S1.01,' and '09.S1.01X09.S1.01'). The level of cannabinoids of several plants within each of the high propyl cannabinoid lines was measured by HPLC, and is presented across Tables 5-10.
Terpenes for several plants within each of the high propyl cannabinoid lines were measured using GC-FID, and are presented as absolute content measurements based on the percent content by weight of dry inflorescences in Tables 11-13. A summary table of representative plants from each of the high propyl cannabinoid hemp lines is presented in Table 4.

Example 7. Specialty Cannabis Hemp Cannabinoid Compositions 103711 Flowers from several Specialty Cannabis hemp lines of the present disclosure were carefully removed from the stems and ground in a blender prior to extraction.
Plants from high propyl lines 09. S1 . 01X09. Sl. 01' and 'V24. S2. 26X09. S1.01' were extracted for this example.
103721 Ground material was packed into a CO2 extraction vessel and tightly closed before allowing flow of CO2 to run in increasing pressure until it reaches manufacturer settings. Three fractions were collected separately. The first two fractions were cannabinoid enriched fractions, and the last fraction was a terpene-enriched fraction. The terpene fraction was immediately analyzed as described in Example 1, and was stored for later blending.
103731 Cannabinoid containing fractions were decarboxylated at high temperatures (175 C) for a period of about 90 minutes. In addition to decarboxylating, this process also allows for water removal from samples prior to winterization. In the winterization process, the two cannabinoid fractions were pooled and incubated with ethanol at -20 C for a period of at least 24 hours for proper separation of fats and waxes. After incubation, samples were filtered to remove solidified material.
[03741 After the filtering procedure was finished, excess ethanol was removed by a rotary evaporator, and the remainder of the material is transferred to a round bottom flask for distillation.
The cannabinoid and terpene fractions were separately analyzed according to the methods of Example 1. These results, together with an analysis of the starting plant material are provided as Tables 14 and 15. Once the distillation process was finished, the cannabinoid and terpene samples were pooled for patient use.
103751 Single fraction ethanol extractions are within the scope of the instant invention, and were discussed in earlier sections of the specification. The analysis of Specialty Cannabis as described in Example 1, includes making an ethanol extract as part of the analysis.
These extracts can be concentrated or diluted by adjusting the quantity of ethanol used in the extraction.

Cannabis Extracts [03191 In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides for extracts from Specialty Cannabis plants. Cannabis extracts or products or the present disclosure include:
[03201 Kief- refers to trichomes collected from cannabis. The trichomes of cannabis are the areas of cannabinoid and terpene accumulation. Kief can be gathered from containers where cannabis flowers have been handled. It can be obtained from mechanical separation of the trichomes from inflorescence tissue through methods such as grinding flowers, or collecting and sifting through dust after manicuring or handling cannabis. Kief can be pressed into hashish for convenience or storage.
193211 Hash- sometimes known as hashish, is often composed of preparations of cannabis trichomes. Hash pressed from kief is often solid.
193221 Bubble Hash- sometimes called bubble melt hash can take on paste-like properties with varying hardness and pliability. Bubble hash is usually made via water separation in which cannabis material is placed in a cold water bath and stirred for a long time (around 1 hour). Once the mixture settles it can be sifted to collect the hash.
[0323i Solvent reduced oils- also sometimes known as hash oil, honey oil, or full melt hash among other names. This type of cannabis oil is made by soaking plant material in a chemical solvent.
After separating plant material, the solvent can be boiled or evaporated off, leaving the oil behind.
Butane Hash Oil is produced by passing butane over cannabis and then letting the butane evaporate. Budder or Wax is produced through isopropyl extraction of cannabis.
The resulting substance is a wax like golden brown paste. Another common extraction solvent for creating cannabis oil is CO2. Persons having skill in the art will be familiar with CO2 extraction techniques and devices, including those disclosed in US 20160279183, US 2015/01505455, US

[03241 Tinctures- are alcoholic extracts of cannabis. These are usually made by mixing cannabis material with high proof ethanol and separating out plant material.
103251 E-juice- are cannabis extracts dissolved in either propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, or a combination of both. Some E-juice formulations will also include polyethylene glycol and flavorings. E-juice tends to be less viscous than solvent reduced oils and is commonly consumed on e-cigarettes or pen vaporizers.
193261 Rick Simpson Oil (ethanol extractions)- are extracts produced by contacting cannabis with ethanol and later evaporating the vast majority of ethanol away to create a cannabinoid paste. In some embodiments, the extract produced from contacting the cannabis with ethanol is heated so as to decarboxylate the extract.
193271 In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention is extracted via methods that preserve the cannabinoid and terpenes. In other embodiments, said methods can be used with any cannabis plants. The extracts of the present invention are designed to produce products for human or animal consumption via inhalation (via combustion, vaporization and nebulization), buccal absorption within the mouth, oral administration, and topical application delivery methods. The present invention teaches an optimized method at which we extract compounds of interest, by extracting at the point when the drying harvested plant has reached 15%
water weight, which minimizes the loss of terpenes and plant volatiles of interest. Stems are typically still 'cool' and 'rubbery' from evaporation taking place. This timeframe (or if frozen at this point in process) allow extractor to minimize terpene loss to evaporation. There is a direct correlation between cool/slow/dry and preservation of essential oils. Thus, there is a direct correlation to EO loss in flowers that dry too fast, or too hot conditions or simply dry out too much (<10% H20).
I 0328] The chemical extraction of Specialty Cannabis can be accomplished employing polar and non-polar solvents in various phases at varying pressures and temperatures to selectively or comprehensively extract terpenes, cannabinoids and other compounds of flavor, fragrance or pharmacological value for use individually or combination in the formulation of our products. The extractions can be shaped and formed into single or multiple dose packages, e.g., dabs, pellets and loads. The solvents employed for selective extraction of our cultivars may include water, carbon dioxide, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, butane, propane, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, hexane, and limonene, in combination or series. We can also extract compounds of interest mechanically by sieving the plant parts that produce those compounds. Measuring the plant part, i.e. trichome gland head, to be sieved via optical or electron microscopy can aid the selection of the optimal sieve pore size, ranging from 30 to 130 microns, to capture the plant part of interest.
The chemical and mechanical extraction methods of the present invention can be used to produce products that combine chemical extractions with plant parts containing compounds of interest. The extracts of the present invention may also be combined with pure compounds of interest to the extractions, e.g. cannabinoids or terpenes to further enhance or modify the resulting formulation's fragrance, flavor or pharmacology.
[03291 In some embodiments, the extractions are supplemented with terpenes or cannabinoids to adjust for any loss of those compounds during extraction processes. In some embodiments, the cannabis extracts of the present invention mimic the chemistry of the cannabis flower material. In some embodiments, the cannabis extracts of the present invention will about the same cannabinoid and Terpene Profile of the dried flowers of the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention.
103301 Extracts of the present invention can be used for vaporization, production of e-juice or tincture for e-cigarettes, or for the production of other consumable products such as edibles or topical spreads.
Use of Specialty Cannabis and Cannabinoid Compositions in Edibles I0331] Cannabis edibles such as candy, brownies, and other foods are a popular method of consuming cannabis for medicinal and recreational purposes. In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis of the present disclosure and/or the cannabinoid compositions of the present disclosure can be used to make cannabis edibles. Most cannabis edible recipes begin with the extraction of cannabinoids and terpenes, which are then used as an ingredient in various edible recipes.
[03321 In one embodiment, the cannabis extract used to make edibles out of the Specialty Cannabis of the present invention is cannabis butter. Cannabis butter is made by melting butter in a container with cannabis and letting it simmer for about half an hour, or until the butter turns green. The butter is then chilled and used in normal recipes. Other extraction methods for edibles include extraction into cooking oil, milk, cream, flour (grinding cannabis and blending with flour for baking). Lipid rich extraction mediums/edibles are believed to facilitate absorption of cannabinoids into the blood stream. THC absorbed by the body is converted by the liver into 11-hydroxy-THC. This modification increases the ability of the THC molecule to bind to the CB1 receptor and also facilitates crossing of the brain blood barrier thereby increasing the potency and duration of its effects.

EXAMPLES
Example 1. Chemical Analysis of Cannabinoids and Terpenes.
103351 Chemical analyses of the parental and progeny Specialty Cannabis varieties of the present disclosure, and of the cannabinoid compositions of the present disclosure, were each carried out using standard chemical separation and detection techniques well known to those skilled in the arts. Qualitative identification of cannabinoids and terpenes was carried out by GCMS, while quantitative analysis was done by GC-FID and/or HPLC-PDA (Photo Diode Array).
Initial field analyses of cannabinoids was performed using thin layer chromatography as described in ("Cannabis Inflorescence & Leaf QC" from The American Herbal Pharmacopeia 2013). The in-house assays for cannabinoids included orthogonal methods of GC-FID and HPLC
for the highest level of accuracy.
03361 Plant inflorescence samples were prepared by grinding ¨5 g of dried cannabis flower material in a coffee grinder. From this homogenized material, 1000 20 mg was placed in a 50mL
falcon tube with ¨1 g of 2mm beads and 15 mL of working solution. Each sample was placed in the bead beater (1600 MiniG from Spex Sample Prep) and homogenized on high for 6 minutes.
Then approximately 2mL of each sample were transferred to 2mL centrifuge vials and centrifuged at 10000 g for 5 minutes. For samples suspected of having higher or lower concentrations of analytes the mass to volume ratio of the extraction could be adjusted. The neat sample was placed in a GC vial for terpene analysis without dilution. The supernatant was also diluted with working solution for GC and HPLC analysis. A 1:96 dilution provided the appropriate concentration for analysis of cannabinoids present at concentrations above 2.3%, while a 1:6 dilution allowed for analysis of cannabinoids below this level.
i. Terpenoids by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-F1D) I9337] Terpenes were quantified by a method developed on a GC-FID instrument from Perkin Elmer (Waltham, MA). It is recognized among analytical scientists that terpene measurements conducted via HPLC are unreliable, as HPLC is not effective at measuring volatiles, such as terpenes. This method separates and quantifies 17 different terpenoids commonly found in cannabis plant tissue. The terpenoids are each quantified by their own individual calibration curves generated with analytical reference standards (Sigma Aldrich) and all use n-nonane as the internal standard.
10338] The instrumentation includes a Clarus 680 gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with an autosampler, an Elite-5 column (Perkin Elmer (Waltham, MA), 30 m length, 0.25 mm internal diameter, 0.25 lam thickness film diameter) and a flame ionization detector (FID). Instrument control and data acquisition and analyses was accomplished by TotalChrom software version 1.2.3.4 (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA).
(9339i Calibration curves were generated by injecting each standard in triplicate and the RSDs provided the measure of precision while the absolute accuracy was determined by comparing the concentrations of the standards predicted by the calibration curve to their "known" values determined by dilution ratios. AOAC International standards for accuracy and precision were used as quality guidelines for every calibration. Check standards were run at the start, middle, and end of every analysis, and recalibration was performed when they varied more than +1- 5% of their initial average response. Levels that failed the acceptance criteria and analytes were not quantified at those levels until recalibration of the instrument corrected the deficiency. Most of the curves were linear to nearly two orders of magnitude and based on the sample mass extracted (500 mg) and the two possible extraction volumes (3x3 mL or 3x5mL), this provided quantitation of terpene levels from 0.01-0.9% or 0.02-1.5% (typical) in the plant matrix.
Cannabinoids by GC-FID
10340i Cannabinoids were quantified by an analytical method developed and run on a Perkin Elmer (Waltham, MA) GC-FID instrument as well. This method was developed to separate six neutral cannabinoids, CBD, CBG, CBN, THC, A8-THC, and CBC. The cannabinoids are each quantified by their own individual calibration curves generated with analytical reference standards (Restek) and all use tricosane as the internal standard. The retention time of THCV was determined by analyzing THVO1 (vide infra) by GCMS, however since analytical standards were not available it was "quantified" by referencing the calibration curve for THC.
10341] There was no need to consider chromatographic separation of acidic forms of the cannabinoids due to their immediate conversion to neutral form in the heated injector of the instrument, although a thorough study of the conversion efficiency of THCA was performed and is discussed in section iv. (orthogonal analyses of all samples).
0342] The instrumentation includes a Clarus 680 gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with an autosampler, an Elite-1 column (Perkin Elmer (Waltham, MA), 30 m length, 0.25 mm internal diameter, 0.25 pm thickness film diameter) and a flame ionization detector (FID). Instrument control and data acquisition and analyses was accomplished by TotalChrom software version 1.2.3.4 (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA).
I9343] Calibration curves were generated by injecting each standard in triplicate and the RSDs provided the measure of precision while the absolute accuracy was determined by comparing the concentrations of the standards predicted by the calibration curve to their "known" values determined by dilution ratios. AOAC International standards for accuracy and precision were used as quality guidelines for every calibration. Check standards were run at the start, middle, and end of every analysis, and recalibration was performed when they varied more than +/- 5% of their initial average response. Levels that failed the acceptance criteria and analytes were not quantified at those levels until recalibration of the instrument corrected the deficiency.
10344] Due to the very linear nature of the FID detector, the GC-FID
cannabinoid assay generally provided satisfactory results over nearly two orders of magnitude (up to 1.0 mg/mL), however in order to use the same calibration solutions and "validation" procedures for both GC and HPLC the range was reduced to that of the HPLC method. Based on the sample mass extracted (500 mg) and a 3x3mL extraction (low oil samples), a 1:3 dilution provided quantitation of cannabinoid levels from 0.09-1.35% and the 1:40 dilution from 1.15-18% in the plant matrix. A 3x5mL
extraction (high oil samples, typical), a 1:3 dilution provided quantitation of cannabinoid levels from 0.14-2.25% and the 1:40 dilution from 1.9-30% in the plant matrix.
Cannabinoids by high performance liquid chromatography ¨ photo diode array detector (HPLC-PDA) 03451 An HPLC-PDA (also known as HPLC-DAD, or simply HPLC) assay was developed as an orthogonal method to GC-FID for cannabinoid analyses. This method quantifies six neutral cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBN, THC, A8-THC, and CBC) as well as the acid cannabinoids THCA, CBDA and CBGA amongst other acidic cannabinoids, based on calibration curves generated with analytical standards and an internal reference standard (ibuprofen).
193461 All HPLC analyses were performed using a Agilent 1290 System (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). The HPLC system comprised G4212A diode array detector, a temperature controlled column compartment, a G4226A autosampler, and a G4204A
quaternary pump. Separation of the cannabinoids was achieved on a Poroshell 120 EC- C18 column (2.7 150mm x 2.1mm i.d., PN 693775-902) with a Poroshell 120 EC-C18 guard column (2.7 p,, 5mm x 2.1mm i.d., PN 821725-911) in place (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA).
Instrument control, data acquisition and integration was achieved with OpenLab CDS
ChemStation Rev C.01.06 software (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA).
I 0317] Calibration was achieved by performing a five-point calibration curve (0.016 ¨ 0.25mg/mL
for each analyte) followed by linear regression analysis. This analysis was performed with Microsoft Excel (Redmond, WA) software. The calibration curves were generated by injecting each standard in triplicate and the RSDs provided the measure of precision while the absolute accuracy was determined by comparing the concentrations of the standards predicted by the calibration curve to their "known" values determined by dilution ratios. AOAC
International standards for accuracy and precision were used as quality guidelines for every calibration. Check standards were run at the start, middle, and end of every analysis, and recalibration was performed when they varied more than +/- 5% of their initial average response.
iv. Orthogonal analyses of all samples [03481 The cannabinoid content was quantified by both GC-FID and EIPLC. The main difference between GC and EIPLC is that GC involves thermal stress and mainly resolves analytes by boiling points while EIPLC does not involve heat and mainly resolves analytes by polarity. There are several reasons that this orthogonal approach to analyses is desirable for highly accurate and reproducible results in determining chemotype. The first reason is related to the difference between the cannabinoids produced naturally by the plant (the acidic cannabinoids) and those that are bioactive (the neutral cannabinoids). Cannabis biosynthesizes all the cannabinoids in their relatively unstable acidic forms, and these forms are generally not bioactive in the traditional sense.
The application of heat (flame, vaporizer, oven, etc.) causes a loss of the carboxylic acid group and generates the neutral forms of the cannabinoids, which are generally the bioactive forms that are sought after, however this process is highly variable and not quantitative. If one wants to know the native phytochemical profile of the plant then EIPLC should be used since this assay does not involve heat. If one wants to know the possible available amount of bioactive cannabinoids, then GC should be used since conversion to these forms in the injector of the GC is an inherent part of the analytical method.
103491 The second reason is also related to the difference between the acidic and neutral cannabinoids, but has to do with the availability of analytical standards to calibrate the instruments.
While all of the neutral cannabinoids (THC, CBG, CBC, CBD, and CBN) are available as analytical standards, THCA is the only acidic cannabinoid available as an analytical standard and the instruments were only calibrated for quantification using actual analytical standards.
Technically the HPLC assay could characterize the naturally occurring chemotypes, but the acidic analytes are not available as standards, so this quantification is approximate and considered for information only. The acidic analytes are all quantified by reference to the calibration curve for THCA, and this is not an unreasonable assumption as many of them have approximately the same spectral properties. The GC assay is calibrated with analytical standards, but these are the neutral cannabinoids and their formation from the naturally occurring acidic cannabinoids in the GC
injector is not quantitative, which complicates exact characterization of the naturally occurring chemotype.
103501 The final reason is simply to have an internal crosscheck of our results by using orthogonal testing methods. Each type of assay (GC and HPLC) has its strengths and weaknesses, and by using both methods, one can compare results and ensure that both the identification and quantitation of the components are accurate. A caveat to this, as mentioned above, is that the conversion of the acidic forms to the neutral forms is not quantitative due to thermal degradation.
Under the highly optimized conditions of a GC injector, we have found conversion can vary between 75-85% (for analytical THCA standards), while cannabis samples generally have a conversion of 70-80%. Similar conversion rates are also described in literature for highly optimized analytical instruments (Dussy et al. 2004). Because of this incomplete conversion our GC results are consistently 20-30% lower than the HPLC results for cannabis samples. This same conversion efficiency can be applied to estimate the maximum availability of THC based on THCA content when smoking or vaporizing cannabis.
v. Method "validation"
R13511 Method validation is important in establishing that a method is fit for its intended purpose, providing assurance that the results that are reported are precise, accurate, and reflective of the sample. Very few labs in the cannabis industry attempt to validate their assays and this fact, combined with inappropriate sampling have resulted in erroneous data for several varieties. In order to validate the analytical methods employed for this project, an abbreviated protocol similar to Single Laboratory Validation (SLV) was carried out. Assay "validation" was carried out by spiking blank matrix with the analytes at low, med, and high concentrations and carrying out the assay procedure in replicate (n=5). While some analytes provided better results than others the analyte RSDs, recoveries, and precisions at these concentrations satisfied AOAC guidance (based on mg/mL). In general, the RSDs for the terpenes at the low, medium, and high concentrations (varied by terpene but generally 0.016, 0.125, and 1.0 mg/mL) were less than 5%, 4%, and 3%
respectively. The absolute bias for these analytes was generally less than 10%, 4%, and 2%. In general the RSDs for the cannabinoids by both GC and HPLC at the low, medium, and high concentrations (0.016, 0.61, and 0.250 mg/mL) were less than 2%, 2%, and 1%
respectively. The absolute bias for these analytes was generally less than 10%, 2%, and 2%. The assays all provided satisfactory S/N ratios at the lowest level and this was initially taken as the LOQ. After subsequent re-calibrations (n=3 at each level), the LOQ was taken as the lowest level of the calibration curve that provided acceptable accuracy (<10% error) determined by comparing the known concentration levels (determined by dilution ratios) to the predicted levels (obtained from the signal and calibration curve).
[0352] The error between the known and measured values establishes the accuracy of the method and verifies that real samples do not present any matrix effects that influence the resulting measurements. The precision, or closeness of individual measurements, of the method is also determined by carrying out all analyses in replicate (n=5). Guidance for acceptable values was taken from publications provided by the AOAC.
I9353 I The in-house validation revealed that the above-described chemical analysis methods were accurate and reliable, and the use of orthogonal methods of analyses provided an internal check on the assays as well as an understanding of the use of GC to analyze thermally unstable molecules.
Using multiple dilution ratios kept samples in the linear ranges of the assays, and method validation verified that precise and accurate results were obtained. Similar methods for analyzing cannabinoids and terpenes are also discussed I Giese et al. "Development and Validation of a Reliable and Robust Method for the Analysis of Cannabinoids and Terpenes in Cannabis" Journal of AOAC International Vol. 98 No. 6, 2015, incorporated herein by reference.

Example 2. Volunteer trials using high propyl cannabinoid hemp. (PROPHETIC).
[93541 In order to demonstrate the added utility of the high propyl cannabinoid Specialty Cannabis hemp varieties of the present invention, volunteer comparison trials will conducted. During these trials, volunteers will be provided with cannabis blends with varying terpene and cannabinoid profiles to determine the effect of Specialty Cannabis with higher propyl content.
[03551 The volunteer trial for higher propyl content hemp will be conducted over 2 weeks.
Volunteers will be split into six groups (1-6). Each volunteer in the group will be given two samples (a control and a comparator blend). In this trial, the control comparator blends will be prepared to contain nearly identical levels of a non-propyl cannabinoids (e.g.
THC, and/or CBD), but each week the comparator will be formulated so as to include different levels of THCV and/or CBDV added (e.g., either 2%, 5%, or 7.5% CBDV added in).
103561 Thirty volunteers will be recruited and asked to fill out surveys inquiring about the experience of smoking/vaporizing each sample. Surveys will also ask volunteers questions related to their physiological response to the sample. An example of the type of questionnaire that will be used is shown in Figure 2.
Example 3. Volunteer trials using high propyl cannabinoid compositions.
(PROPHETIC).
10357] Volunteer comparison trials will be conducted to determine the effect of increased propyl cannabinoid content in cannabis compositions with no more than 0.3% THC
contents. Volunteer trials will be conducted in similar fashion to those of Example 2.
103581 Briefly, each volunteer in the group will be given two composition samples (a control and a comparator blend). The samples will be provided in single-use e-cigarettes or in tinctures designed to be vaporized or administered to the mucosa/swallowed, respectively. In this trial, the control comparator compositions will be prepared to contain nearly identical levels of a non-propyl cannabinoid (e.g. THC, and/or CBD), but each week the comparator will be formulated so as to include different levels of a propyl cannabinoid added (e.g., either 2%, 5%, or 7.5% CBDV
added in).
[0359] Thirty volunteers will be recruited and asked to fill out surveys inquiring about the experience of smoking each sample. Surveys will also ask volunteers questions related to their physiological response to the sample. An example of the type of questionnaire that will be used is shown in Figure 2.
Example 4. Analysis of Parental Varieties 103601 One objective of the inventions of the present disclosure was to develop cannabis varieties accumulating high levels of propyl cannabinoids with no more than 0.3% or 0.2%
THC content.
This goal was achieved through a multi-pronged cannabis breeding program that utilized existing public and proprietary cannabis lines to produce novel cannabis germplasms exhibiting high levels of propyl cannabinoids, with no more than 0.3% or 0.2% THC content across varied genetic and phenotypic backgrounds.
[0361.1 As an initial step, the cannabinoid profiles of each parental line was determined using HPLC as described in Example 1. The resulting measurements of the initial parental lines are summarized in Table 3. All of the initial parental lines exhibited either only trace amounts of propyl cannabinoid content, or accumulated greater than 0.3% THC content.
Table 3 also reports the cannabinoid contents of several intermediate filial generations generated during each breeding scheme that were used as parents for the final progeny lines.

Breeding of Specialty Cannabis 193621 One objective of the inventions of the present disclosure was to develop cannabis varieties accumulating high levels of propyl cannabinoids with no more than 0.3% or 0.2%
THC content.
In some embodiments, the Specialty Cannabis varieties of the present invention were additionally selected for their ability to produce terpenes that are appealing to patients and that may also provide a pharmacological activity that modifies, enhances or ameliorates the effects of the cannabinoids.
Thus, a secondary objective of the breeding programs of the present disclosure was to produce plants with high terpene oil content and diverse Terpene Profiles.
103631 In order to achieve these objectives, the parental cannabis varieties of Example 4 were incorporated into a multi-pronged cannabis breeding program to develop Specialty Cannabis plants and varieties. Figures 3-8 depict the breeding schemes for six exemplary independently produced high propyl hemp varieties of the present disclosure.
10364j The breeding schemes of Figures 3-8 were designed to increase propyl cannabinoid production in hemp cannabis lines. These schemes resulted in novel cannabis hemp varieties exhibiting 10-100X propyl cannabinoid contents of the parental lines. In some instances, the resulting progeny also exhibited high oil contents and varied terpene phenotypes.
103651 The present disclosure envisions further crosses from those described in Figures 3-8. In one representative version of this breeding regime the resultant Fl progeny from the crosses of any one of Figures 3-8, or Tables 5-18 can be selfed to bulk up F2 seed. In some embodiments, the F2 seed will be used for biological deposit.
10366] F2 seed can further be grown to produce F2 progeny. Selection for desirable phenotypes and/or genotypes can be conducted within the Fl, F2, or subsequent progeny since the selections can be maintained (i.e., fixed) via asexual reproduction. Alternatively, the F2 progeny can be crossed among themselves to produce a bulked F3 population from which desired progeny can be selected and/or further generations of crossing can be conducted. Again, selected F2 progeny can be maintained (i.e., fixed) via asexual reproduction. In another embodiment, the resultant Fl progeny can by backcrossed to high propyl cannabinoid parent or a hemp variety to further reinforce the traits of other parent. In some embodiments, the cannabinoid and terpene components of Specialty Cannabis hemp lines of the present disclosure can be maintained by extracting the cannabinoid and terpene contents. In some embodiments, the resulting extract will mimic the cannabinoid and terpene contents of the plant/inflorescence. In some embodiments, extracts of the present disclosure can be stored indefinitely.
103671 According to the present invention, the lines can also be further selected for a specific content of certain other cannabinoids and/or of certain terpenes/terpenoids, and/or for additional phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Desirable phenotypic characteristics include but are not limited to larger plant size (i.e., greater bulk or biomass), higher production of flower buds, larger flowers, more trichomes, shorter plant stature, ability to tolerate lower and/or higher growing temperatures, greater germination percentage, greater seedling vigor, more efficient water usage, disease resistance, pest resistance, and other desirable agronomic and production traits. For an overview of diseases and pests of importance to cannabis production see Clarke et al. (2000) Hemp Diseases and Pests: Management and Biological Control. An Advanced Treatise (CABI

103681 The progeny resulting from any selection stage of either the crosses described in Figures 3-8, or any of the described selfing, sib crosses, or backcrossing versions of the breeding regimes of the present invention can be asexually reproduced so as to fix and maintain the desirable content, propyl cannabinoid content, low THC content, the aroma and flavor(s) typical of the desired class, and the other desirable phenotypic and/or genotypic characteristics. The resultant selected lines will be designated as Specialty Cannabis Varieties.
[0369] The resultant Specialty Cannabis plants of the present invention also generally have more terpene essential oil content per plant than contemporary hemp varieties. More terpene essential oil per plant means less plant matter is required per treatment/administration, thereby also further minimizing any health risks for medical and recreational cannabis smokers/consumers. This would also further increase production efficiency.
Example 6. Chemical Analysis of Specialty Cannabis 19370] The new Specialty Cannabis varieties created through crosses as described in Example 5 were subjected to cannabinoid and terpene chemical analysis as described in Example 1. The resulting breeding schemes of Example 5 produced six separate lines of high propyl cannabinoid Specialty Cannabis hemp germplasm (03.52.01X09.S1.01,"03.S2.16X09.S1.01,' '012.09.10X09.S1.01,' `V24.S1.P09X09.S1.01,' `V24.52.26X09.S1.01,' and '09.S1.01X09.S1.01'). The level of cannabinoids of several plants within each of the high propyl cannabinoid lines was measured by HPLC, and is presented across Tables 5-10.
Terpenes for several plants within each of the high propyl cannabinoid lines were measured using GC-FID, and are presented as absolute content measurements based on the percent content by weight of dry inflorescences in Tables 11-13. A summary table of representative plants from each of the high propyl cannabinoid hemp lines is presented in Table 4.

Example 7. Specialty Cannabis Hemp Cannabinoid Compositions 103711 Flowers from several Specialty Cannabis hemp lines of the present disclosure were carefully removed from the stems and ground in a blender prior to extraction.
Plants from high propyl lines 09. S1 . 01X09. Sl. 01' and 'V24. S2. 26X09. S1.01' were extracted for this example.
103721 Ground material was packed into a CO2 extraction vessel and tightly closed before allowing flow of CO2 to run in increasing pressure until it reaches manufacturer settings. Three fractions were collected separately. The first two fractions were cannabinoid enriched fractions, and the last fraction was a terpene-enriched fraction. The terpene fraction was immediately analyzed as described in Example 1, and was stored for later blending.
103731 Cannabinoid containing fractions were decarboxylated at high temperatures (175 C) for a period of about 90 minutes. In addition to decarboxylating, this process also allows for water removal from samples prior to winterization. In the winterization process, the two cannabinoid fractions were pooled and incubated with ethanol at -20 C for a period of at least 24 hours for proper separation of fats and waxes. After incubation, samples were filtered to remove solidified material.
[03741 After the filtering procedure was finished, excess ethanol was removed by a rotary evaporator, and the remainder of the material is transferred to a round bottom flask for distillation.
The cannabinoid and terpene fractions were separately analyzed according to the methods of Example 1. These results, together with an analysis of the starting plant material are provided as Tables 14 and 15. Once the distillation process was finished, the cannabinoid and terpene samples were pooled for patient use.
103751 Single fraction ethanol extractions are within the scope of the instant invention, and were discussed in earlier sections of the specification. The analysis of Specialty Cannabis as described in Example 1, includes making an ethanol extract as part of the analysis.
These extracts can be concentrated or diluted by adjusting the quantity of ethanol used in the extraction.
