Comprehensive analysis of the chloroplast genome in Cannabis sativa L. reveals variations in simple sequence repeats among cultivars

Saber Delpasand Khabbazi

Scientific Reports · 2026

Profiles simple sequence repeats in the chloroplast genome of Cannabis sativa across six cpDNA sequences, finding 30 to 46 per accession, mostly mononucleotide repeats and mostly in intergenic regions. The author separates repeats shared by all genotypes from genotype-specific ones and proposes the atpH-atpI and ndhF-rpl32 regions as potential markers, which the paper reports for the first time in cannabis. The motivation given includes genotype identification for breeding and for forensic casework on cross-border trafficking. It is a resource study of six sequences, not a population survey.
