DNA Markers to Discriminate Cannabis sativa L. ‘Cheungsam’ with Low Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) Content from Other South Korea Cultivars Based on the Nucleotide Sequences of Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid Synthase and Putative 3-Ketoacyl-CoA Synthase Genes

Multiple alignment of the nucleotide sequences of 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCS) genes deposited in NCBI GenBank. The nucleotide sequences of KCS genes in Arabidopsis thaliana (EU29142.1), Brassica oleracea (AF490460.1), Brassica napus (AF490459.1 and AF490462.1), Brassica rapa (AF490461.1), Cardamine graeca (EU871788.1), and Lunaria annua (EU871787.1) were aligned. The dots indicate the consensus nucleotide; bold arrows indicate the primers to amplify putative KCS synthase genes. The boxes represent nucleotide sequences as well as the positions of primers.
