Abstract

The unique annual herbaceous Cannabis plant variety ‘SW0’ is provided. The variety can be distinguished by its outstanding features.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species:
Genus—Cannabis.
Species—sativa.
Variety denomination: The new Cannabis plant claimed is of the variety denominated ‘SW0’.
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
None.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a new and distinct annual variety of C. sativa, which has been given the variety denomination of ‘SW0’. ‘SW0’ is intended for use as for sale in Cannabis dispensaries and to make products containing no THC.
Background of the Related Art
The genus Cannabis has been in use by humans for millennia, due to the multiplicity of its benefits to humans, including the considerable value and utility of its fiber, the nutritional value of its seeds, and the medicinal value of its floral parts and products made from them. Currently the genus is under intense legal commercialization in the United States as industrial hemp for a variety of purposes including biodegradable plastics and building materials, clothing, paper, food, fuel, and medicines.
Cannabidiol (CBD) extracted from Cannabis is widely used in over-the-counter medicines and topical treatments and is also the active ingredient in the FDA-approved drug Epidiolex. CBD is just one of at least dozens—perhaps hundreds—of cannabinoids endogenous to Cannabis, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) being the other cannabinoid that is most well-known. The cannabinoids as a group interact with the human endocannabinoid receptors, which are distributed in the brain and throughout the body. The study of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in humans and other mammals is an area of increasing interest and holds tremendous promise for the future of medicine. See, e.g., Russo (2019). Cannabis and Pain, Pain Medicine, 20(10): 1093/pm/pnz227; and Russo (2016). Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency Reconsidered: Current Research Supports the Theory in Migraine, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel, and Other Treatment-Resistant Syndromes, Cannabis Cannabinoid Res. 1(1): 154-165.
Typically, marijuana products are available to users for purchase in specialized “dispensaries” that offer dried flower, edibles, tinctures, extracts, and the like. In some cases, a unique or unusual chemical profile, or chemotype, is attractive not only for flower sales but also for use in the preparation of extracts and/or isolates and for the manufacture of a variety of products that possess characteristics of the chemotype.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct annual variety of C. sativa, which has been given the variety denomination of ‘SW0’.
The new C. sativa variety is a selection resulting from conventional breeding as shown in FIG. 1 , followed by genetic modification. At the first step of this breeding, C. sativa varieties known as ‘Cherry Wine’ (unpatented) and ‘The Wife’ (unpatented), were reciprocally crossed, such that each variety was the seed parent in one cross and the pollen parent in a different cross. Segregating progeny of the reciprocal crosses were selected based upon the phenotypic traits described herein, and particularly those by which the variety ‘Superwoman’ differs from ‘Cherry Wine’ and ‘The Wife’. At the second step of the breeding, a pollen parent was selected from the cross in which ‘The Wife’ was the prior pollen parent, and various seed parents were selected from the cross in which ‘The Wife’ was the prior seed parent. These seed parents were crossed with the pollen parent, as shown in FIG. 1 . In the third step of breeding, offspring from the second step were selected based upon phenotypic characteristics described hereof, and the final selection was designated ‘Superwoman’. ‘Superwoman’, which is distinguishable from both ‘Cherry Wine’ and ‘The Wife’ as described hereof was then modified using guided RNAi to create a THC-null variant, designated ‘SW0’, showing reduced expression of THCA synthase. This new variety ‘SW0’ is substantially indistinguishable in all respects from ‘Superwoman’ except that ‘SW0’ is THC-null (meaning no THC is produced in the flower), due to the action of the RNAi construct.
The ‘Superwoman’ selection was subsequently evaluated for a number of years at Colorado, USA. ‘SW0’ was selected to be as nearly identical to ‘Superwoman’ as was attainable. ‘SW0’ looks the same as ‘Superwoman’ and further propagation via cloning and meristem tissue culture has shown the same characteristics: the two varieties are meaningfully distinguishable only on the basis of their accumulation of THCA and other forms of THC.
Asexual reproduction of ‘Superwoman’ by cutting propagation since 2017 at Colorado, USA has demonstrated that it reproduces true to type with all of the characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation. Further, asexual reproduction of ‘SW0’ at Longmont, Colo., conducted in 2021 and 2022, using vegetative cloning and tissue culture has shown essentially identical behavior. A stable seed line of ‘Superwoman’ was developed by successive generations of interbreeding and selection to correspond to the phenotypic characteristics described herein.
The following characteristics of the new variety have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘SW0’ as a new and distinct variety of C. sativa plant: the new C. sativa variety is THC-null.
Plants of the new variety differ from plants of the related variety ‘Cherry Wine’ (not patented) primarily in tighter internodal spacing, shorter plants, more balanced hybrid, and more balanced CBD ratio. Plants of the new variety differ from plants of the related variety ‘The Wife’ (not patented) primarily in displaying great resiliency to mold and pathogens, better yields, more vigor, and being more versatile in different growing environments. Plants of the new variety ‘SW0’ differ from ‘Superwoman’ (not patented) in having little to no THC % present in mature flowers, while ‘Superwoman’ has THC levels that exceed the federal 0.3% threshold.

 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following detailed description sets forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘SW0’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions of the original selection, ‘Superwoman’ which is identical to ‘SW0’ in all respects except the RNAi construct and the resulting THC-null phenotype. The purpose of this new variety ‘SW0’ is not a morphological distinction from ‘Superwoman’ but is a chemovar with no THC. Dimensions, sizes, colors, and other characteristics are approximations and averages set forth as accurately as possible. The descriptions relate to plants grown in Colorado, USA. Color notations are in reference to the standard RGB color chart known to those of ordinary skill in internet website design. Color coordinates were derived using a digital device. In some cases, there is no standard corresponding color name so only the RGB coordinates are provided.
