(Solved): You want to develop a cultivar that is short, with high grain yield, high protein, and high CBD ...



⦁ You want to develop a cultivar that is short, with high grain yield, high protein, and high CBD in the remnant bracts after processing. To ensure you stay compliant under 0.3% THC, your final cultivar should be 100% chemotype 3. You could use molecular markers for determining chemotype. You have access to the following lines: ⦁ Cultivar A: Medium yield, medium protein, high cannabinoids, 100% chemotype 3 ⦁ Cultivar B: Medium yield, low protein, low cannabinoids, 95% chemotype 3, 5% chemotype 2 ⦁ Cultivar C: Low yield, high protein, no cannabinoids, 100% chemotype 3 (by marker) ⦁ Cultivar D: High yield, low protein, high cannabinoids, 75% chemotype 1, 20% chemotype 2, 5% chemotype 3 Note: Consider chemotype as a highly heritable trait, cannabinoid content as medium heritable, and protein percentage and yield as having low heritability. Using the lines provided, describe which breeding scheme you would use to develop this cultivar, including which lines you would cross.
