Auto-flowering in Cannabis sativa
Identifying the genetic cause of auto-flowering in cannabis. Several methods were used including gene expression analysis (RNA-Seq), GWAS (genotyping by sequencing), fine mapping, and whole genome sequencing to identify the genetic cause of auto-flowering. RNA-seq data includes raw sequences from an Auto-flowering crossed with photoperiod sensitive F2 population over vegetative and flowering conditions. GBS and WGS data are from diverse cultivars containing both auto-flowering and photoperiod sensitive genotypes. Variant Call Files (VCF) for 275 cannabis GBS accession, 27 cannabis WGS accessions (chromosome 5 only, Purple Kush reference genome), and Auto-flowering by photoperiod sensitive F2 mapping population can be found on FigShare.com: https://figshare.com/projects/Loss_of_daylength_sensitivity_by_splice_site_mutation_in_Cannabis_pseudo-response_regulator/209362
