While still under discussion, particularly whether the genus is polytypic or monotypic, this broad classification reflects putative geographical origins of each group and putative chemotype and pharmacologic effect.<h4>Methods</h4>Here we describe a thorough investigation of cannabis accessions using a set of 23 highly informative and polymorphic SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) markers associated with important traits such as cannabinoid and terpenoid expressionJournal of cannabis research26https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC7819309biostudies-literatureA single nucleotide polymorphism assay sheds light on the extent and distribution of genetic diversity, population structure and functional basis of key traits in cultivated north American cannabis.PMC7819309Kapoor KChester ZKhatodia SCaplan DGonzales BHilyard AHall OWHong KWilson IAdhikary DJohnson SAllen DGuppy BJGangola MMiddleton AHenry PDeyholos MKJin DOrser CRodriguez Jule JCMorgan MBroome JfalseA single nucleotide polymorphism assay sheds light on the extent and distribution of genetic diversity, population structure and functional basis of key traits in cultivated north American cannabis.<h4>Background</h4>The taxonomic classification of Cannabis genus has been delineated through three main types: sativa (tall and less branched plant with long and narrow leaves), indica (short and highly branched plant with broader leaves) and ruderalis (heirloom type with short stature, less branching and small thick leaves).
