Plant Cannabinoid Synthesis Evolution, Genetics, and Biochemistry: A Future Challenge for Biotechnology
Received Date: Jan 02, 2023 / Published Date: Jan 31, 2023
Abstract
The psychoactive secondary compound tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the most well-known feature of Cannabis sativa. THC, on the other hand, is just one of many phytocannabinoids found in this famous medicinal plant.The gradual legalisation of cannabis in many countries has created new opportunities for its medicinal and commercial applications, piqued scientific interest in the genetics and biochemistry of phytocannabinoid synthesis. Plant biology and genomics advancements help to accelerate research in the Cannabis field, which is still lagging behind other comparable high-value crops. We discuss the intriguing genetics and evolutionary history of phytocannabinoid synthases in this paper, as well as how a better understanding of Cannabis developmental genetics and morphology is critical for realising the full potential of phytocannabinoid production [1- 3].
