General introduction
What is Cannabis sativa L.?
Cannabis sativa L. is an annual herb. It is among the earliest cultivated plants, which originated in Central Asia. It is valued as a food, oil, fiber,
medicinal and recreational drug source and, consequently, has been dispersed throughout the world. Cannabis sativa L. (marijuana) contains
cannabinoids, a unique class of terpenophenolic compounds that accumulates mainly in glandular trichomes of the plant. Over 140 cannabinoids
have been isolated from marijuana,
the major biologically active compound being?
the major biologically active compound being Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly referred as THC. This
extraordinary versatile important plant material naturally calls for development of suitable protocols for production of sufficient number of
uniform planting materials from Cannabis varieties through biotechnological intervention. Among the biotechnological approaches,
micropropagation is one of the most feasible techniques, allows efficient and rapid clonal propagation of many economically important crops.
What have we renewed?
We at laboratoryCa developed an efficient in vitro propagation, hardening and rooting procedures for obtaining plantlets from shoot tips and
seedlings of Cannabis sativa L.
Cannabis tissue culture
Plant tissue culture served for the last decade as a major toll to produce
mass propagation of genetically identical disease free plant material. The cannabis
industry recently harnessed this cutting age technology for the long run benefit of this market.
aboratoryCa has developed in the recent years novel protocols for the microprogation of elite canna
We provide:
Microprogation and mass
production of true to type plants
Cryopreservation technologies
and “gene bank” services
Virus elimination and cleaning
of stock material
Endophyte eradication in
elite clones
