22nd Century Group Inc. said Wednesday it has developed and launched a technology platform that will quickly identify and incorporate commercially valuable traits of hemp/cannabis plants to create new, stable hemp/cannabis lines. The platform incorporates a suite of proprietary molecular tools and a large library of genomic markers and gene-trait correlations. The company’s share price has been benefiting recently from state legislative efforts to legalize some forms of cannabis, including in Virginia. The company, which is planning a move to Buffalo, has its largest tobacco production plant in Mocksville. The platform was developed in collaboration with researchers at KeyGene, a which specializes in plant research involving high-value genetic traits and increased crop yields. 22nd Century recently refocused its hemp/cannabis strategy to target the cannabinoid value chain, in particular, in the areas of plant biotechnology research, gene modification and engineering, modern plant breeding and development and extraction.
