Cannabis sativa is a dioecious plant with a XY system. Only females produce cannabinoids in large amount. Efficient male removal is an important issue for the cannabis industry. We have recently identified the sex chromosomes of C. sativa, which opens opportunities for developing universal genetic markers for early sexing of C. sativa plants. Here we selected six Y-linked markers and designed PCR primers, which were tested on five hemp cultivars both dioecious and monoecious. We obtained promising results, which need to be extended using a larger number of individuals and a more diverse set of cultivars, including THC producing ones.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
