Dramatically expands IP portfolio of cannabinoid synthesis related genes and enzymes Tackles known enzymatic and modification bottlenecks and challenges in biosynthesis Unlike Cannabis Sativa ...

Cannabinoids are produced by trichomes, small spikey protrusions on the surface of cannabis flowers. Beyond this fact, scientists know very little about how cannabinoid biosynthesis is controlled.

Background CBDA is a cannabinoid that has recently started to gather attention in the cannabis space. It is being studied for its positive effects on human health. These effects are unique to CBDA and ...

A 2022 study of cannabinoid biosynthesis found that cannabinoid biosynthetic genes are generally upregulated during flower maturation, which can increase gene expression with glandular trichome ...

A team of University of Connecticut researchers are using firefly genes to understand molecular mechanisms involved in trichome development and cannabinoid synthesis. They discovered transcription ...

Through hydrogenation (HHC), delta-9 THC is transformed into hexahydrocannabinol. It isn’t just about cannabinoid synthesis. A similar process is used to make margarine from vegetable oil.

Xinteza API Ltd., a biosynthesis technology company, has expanded its IP portfolio with a discovery of a novel, non-cannabis plant-derived production system, which is capable of end-to-end ...

To produce cannabinoids in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), UC Berkeley synthetic biologists first engineered yeast's native mevalonate pathway to provide a high flux of geranyl pyrophosphate ...

To understand the regulation of the cannabinoid synthesis pathway in hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), researchers will map the relationship between factors that turn on or off the genes for enzymes ...
