Abstract

A new and distinct Cannabis cultivar named ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ is characterized by its dominant CBG chemotype, which is favorable for application as a medicinal product. Furthermore, it may be used for the industrial-scale extraction of CBG due to the minimal concentrations of contaminating cannabinoids which may otherwise complicate the extraction of this class of secondary metabolites.

Description

Latin name of the genus claimed: Cannabis Hybrid.
Variety denomination: ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A novel Cannabis hybrid cultivar, entitled ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ is provided. ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ is the result of a planned breeding program and originated from crosses between privately-owned cultivars. The new cultivar has been vegetatively reproduced by cloning using stem cuttings at Zeiningen, Switzerland. Vegetative clones of ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ were tested in controlled indoor growth facilities, greenhouses, and outdoors in open fields. The desired characteristics of each source cultivar are transferred by vegetative, asexual reproduction. ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ is stable and consistently true-to-type through multiple generations of vegetative reproduction.
Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants comprising three historically distinct subspecies based on phenotype and metabolite profiles—Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. However, decades of crossing and selection makes it impossible to absolutely characterize the resulting hybrid plants using phenotypic data. Most of the Cannabis varieties being sold for medicinal and recreational purposes contains characteristics of both Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica subspecies. For this reason, ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’, described herein, has been characterized both on the presented phenotype, as well as the genotype using a series of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP).
Used herein, the terms “cultivar”, “variety”, “clone” and “strain” are used interchangeably.
Cannabis plants synthesize unique terpeno-phenolic compounds in varying concentrations. High genetic variability has resulted in the vast varieties of chemotypes with distinct characteristics available today. More than 500 unique compounds including cannabinoids, terpenoids, terpenes, flavonoids, amino acids, vitamins among many others, are secreted as a sticky resin by the glandular trichomes found on the floral calyxes of female plants. Cannabinoids and terpenes are the biologically active chemicals responsible for the pharmacological and psychoactive properties of Cannabis when consumed by humans. They often work together synergistically in what is commonly known as the “entourage effect” and as such, small differences in composition or concentration any of these compounds can have notable effects on the physiological effect of consumed or applied Cannabis in or on the human body.
Cannabinoids are produced at significant concentrations in Cannabis. Although over a hundred cannabinoids have been identified in Cannabis, the major cannabinoids include, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabinol (CBN), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabinodiol (CBDL), cannabicyclol (CBL), cannabivarin (CBDV), cannabigerovarin (CBGV), cannabichromevarin (CBCV), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabigerol monomethyl ether (CBGM), cannabilsoin (CBE), cannabicitran (CBT), cannabinol propyl variant (CBNV), cannabitriol (CBO), tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), tetrahydrocannabivarinic acid (THCVA), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) and cannabinerolic acid. These cannabinoids are usually produced by the plant in their acid form (see suffix -A), but upon heating they become. decarboxylated.
CBGA is the precursor to CBDA and THCA. CBG is usually present at very low concentrations due to its rapid utilization by CBDA or THCA synthases. It is non-psychoactive and has been described to display analgesic, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory effects. It has further been shown to reduce blood clotting and to relieve the intraocular pressure experienced by glaucoma patients. CBG further reduces the effect of THC and is actively being studied in its acid and neutral forms in many medical conditions.
As used herein, CBG will refer to both the decarboxylated form, CBG, and CBGA. The value “Total CBG” will refer to the calculated sum of both isoforms when decarboxylated i.e. Total CBG=GBGA×87.8%+CBG. Total THC and CBD are similarly calculated but with a conversion factor of 87.7%.
Terpenes are organic molecules produced by various plants and animals. These organic compounds are responsible for the strong and distinctive smell and taste of Cannabis. Some of the most prominent terpenes found in Cannabis are myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene, to mention a few.
The objective of the breeding program that produced ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ was to develop Cannabis plant varieties with unique combinations of cannabinoids and/or terpenes, while displaying a phenotype with multiple large inflorescences arranged in a naturally branched habit. The variety described herein is a result of this breeding program.
The ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ cultivar was the result of poly-cross between several hemp-type and high CBD-type Cannabis plants. Selected progenies were then cloned and crossed by selfing using methods known in the art. In subsequent generations, the resultant plants were screened for high total CBG production and selected based on production-relevant phenotypes. The progeny with the most stable desirable chemotype was assigned the name, ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’.
The ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ plants described herein were grown in Zeiningen, Switzerland, in nurseries, climate-controlled growth facilities, and in the field during the summer of 2019. Samples for metabolite analysis were taken from the flowers of numerous plants. Analytical measurements were made using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography by those skilled in the art. Plant phenotyping was performed using photography and subsequent analysis.
The ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ variety described herein is extremely low in contaminating cannabinoids such as THC and CBD allowing for easier extraction of the CBG contained in the flowers. In addition, the low THC concentration facilitates extraction in that cannabinoids can be concentrated to a higher level, during the extraction process.
‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ flowers were analyzed at harvest in both indoor growth and outdoor growth environments (Table 1). The resultant cannabinoid profile highlights the uniquely high CBG, and low THC and CBD content characterizing the ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ variety. It has a cannabinoid profile in the dried mature female flowers that is dominant in CBG (>5% w/w) and displays only trace amounts of THC (<0.1% w/w) and CBD (<0.1% w/w).
‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ presents with a low total terpene content. In fresh flowers the total measurable terpene content is between 0.05 and 0.07% (w/w) in the fresh flowers, and between 0.9 and 0.12% (w/w) in dried flowers. The dominant terpene found in fresh flowers is Myrcene followed by trans-Caryophyllene and Limonene (Table 2). The unique profile of the major and minor terpenes makes ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ distinguishable from other varieties, including Santhica 27 and PG_1_Pre-19_0125_0004.

The genotype of ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ was characterized using Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) using methods described in the art. Short-read sequencing data produced by this method were aligned to the publicly available assembled genome of cs10 (Assembly: GCF_900626175.1) to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and short haplotypes (HAP, a combination of linked SNPs) in ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ (Table 3 and FIG. 14).
Together these polymorphisms provide a fingerprint which can be used to differentiate ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ from all other Cannabis varieties.
Table 3 shows a list of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes (HAPs) contained within the genome of ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ compared to the publicly available reference genome of cs10 (Assembly: GCF_900626175.1).

Based on the chemotype, past research shows that ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ may have medicinal applications in the treatment of certain cancer types, pain, infection and inflammation, Glaucoma and cardiovascular disease.
THE CLONING PROCESS FOR VEGETATIVE OR ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Asexual or vegetative propagation methods (also known as cloning) are well-known to those skilled in the art. ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ is cloned according the following method: Coco peat plugs are soaked in pH adjusted water and kept warm. Cuttings measuring 10-12 cm are taken 3 nodes from the branch distal meristem and trimmed of lower leaves. The cuttings are dipped in water and a commercial rooting agent and inserted into the warmed plugs. Trays are kept in continuous light conditions and high humidity for 7 to 15 days until rooted. Rooted plants may be transferred directly into the field for outdoor growth or used for indoor growth. The initial asexual propagation took place in Zeiningen, Switzerland.
It was observed that all of the desired characteristics of each clone are transferred by vegetative reproduction in a consistent and uniform fashion. The characteristics of ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ are stable and the variety remains true-to-type through multiple generations of vegetative reproduction.
GROWTH OF PLANTS IN INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS
Rooted clones are transferred to two-gallon pots containing growth medium consisting of a mixture of soil, peat and pearlite in a ratio of 3:3:1. Plants are grown in an indoor growth hall under completely supplied artificial high-pressure sodium (HPS) lighting (E-Papillon, 1000W, 400V). The air in the room was circulated with a fan and the humidity was kept constant at 45-55%. Commercial fertilizer is applied at a dose of 70-80% of the amount recommended by the manufacturer (Plagron, NL). The plants are grown for 10 days with a light intensity between 700-800 μmol m−2 s-1, 18 h light/6 h dark day-night photoperiod with a 24-25° C. day/18° C. night temperature. The photoperiod is then changed to a 12 h light/12 h dark day-night cycle and the light intensity increased by 100 μmol m−2 s−1 per day for 7 days, at 25° C. day/23° C. night temperatures. During the following 60 days the light intensity is adjusted to 1400-1500 μmol m−2 s−1 with a 12 h light/12 h dark day-night photoperiod and a 24-25° C. day/18° C. night temperature. After a total of 84-91 days of growth after cloning, the flowers are harvested.
GROWTH OF PLANTS OUTDOORS
Field growth of ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ was performed in Zeiningen, Switzerland during the summer of 2019. The weather during the year of 2019 is presented in FIG. 13. Rooted clones were planted in the field on the 1st of July 2019. Mature flowers were then collected during the first two weeks of October.

 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ was grown in Zeiningen, Switzerland and observations were made in the field, in nursery glasshouses as well as in climate controlled indoor growth facilities. Observed phenotypes may vary in different environmental conditions.
Plants used for the botanical description of the plant are annual, herbaceous, upright, tap-rooted plants. They are Cannabis hybrid species and the particular variety described herein is designated the name ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’.
Throughout this specification, color names beginning with a small letter signify that the name of that color, as used in common speech is aptly descriptive. Color number descriptions were obtained using the Pantone Plus Series Color Bridge (ISBN: 978 1-590651-59-9).
‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ is a cross between multiple pollen donors and several pollen acceptors of both hemp-type and high CBD-type Cannabis plants. The initial cross was made during April 2018. The resultant F1 seeds were grown, cloned, and the clones used for crossing i.e. selfed. The F2 seed was grown, and from this population ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ was selected. The selection criteria were based on the following characteristics: Maximal CBG content and minimal THC and CBD content in the mature flower, flower density, and a highly branched plant structure. The variety was first vegetatively reproduced on the 12th of April 2019 and the resultant plants screened for high total CBG production and selected based on production relevant phenotypes. The progeny with the most stable desirable chemotype was assigned the name, ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’. ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ continues to be vegetatively reproduced by cloning in Zeiningen, Switzerland.
When ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ is compared to the Cannabis variety ‘Santhica 27’ (UPOV grant number: 1004490), some similarities and many distinct characteristics become apparent. Both ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ and ‘Santhica 27’ present with CBG as the dominant cannabinoid, with extremely low THC and CBD levels. ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’, however, displays a up to six times more CBG in dried flowers than ‘Santhica 27’. Moreover, the ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ flowers develop into a significantly denser inflorescence. Morphologically, ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ is short and highly branched with large flowers on each branch, reaching a maximum height of approximately 1 meter, whereas ‘Santhica 27’ is tall and mostly unbranched with a dominant apical inflorescence, reaching a height of up to 2.5 meters. The characteristics listed above, including branching, flower density, and significantly more CBG per unit mass, results in the ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ variety presenting with a substantially higher harvest index than ‘Santhica 27’ with respect to CBG production.
‘PG_1_Pre-19_0125_0004’ is a close relative of ‘PG 1 19 0125 0002’ from the Pure Cannabis Research breeding program and displays an almost identical growth pattern and general phenotype. A clear difference between the two varieties can be seen in their cannabinoid profiles (See Table 1 above). The cannabinoid profile of the ‘PG_1_Pre-19_0125_0004’ flower is clearly CBD-dominant with significant THCA accumulation.
