Exploring Genetic Diversity for High CBD Content in Cannabis Accessions in Tropical and Subtropical Regions of India.

Cannabis, also known as marijuana or hemp, has been utilized since ancient times for industrial, religious, recreational, and medical uses. However, regardless of the intended use, there are legal requirements for quantitative testing of cannabinoids across the supply chains. This investigation aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of 54 Cannabis samples collected from tropical and subtropical regions in India.

Impact of induced mutation-derived genetic variability, genotype and varieties for quantitative and qualitative traits in species.

Purpose: The genus spp. is an aromatic herb from the family 'Lamiaceae'. It is extensively predominant in temperate and sub-temperate regions of the world.

Gamma irradiation-induced variability in morpho-agronomic and oil quality traits of L.

Purpose: To develop elite mutant in having morphotype and oil content of , and oil quality of .

Materials And Methods: The dormant runner of menthol rich genotype MPK-5 were subjected to different doses of γ- irradiation (10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 90, and 110 Gy) at a dose rate of 55 Gy/min to induce the genetic variability for herb and oil yield as well as oil quality. A wide spectrum of variability for agro-morphological traits, herb yield, and quality profile was observed among the mutants.
