Cannabis sativa L.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404

binary plasmid pBIN19

Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation

β-glucuronidase (uidA) reporter gene and the kanamycin resistance neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) genes

Regenerating Cannabis sativa plants may effectively and quickly         undergo genetic change, resulting       in a  particular metabolic profile or enhanced resilience to stress.

Created an innovative and effective procedure for cultivating Cannabis sativa plants, leading to improved rates of regeneration and transformation compared to current procedures.
