which lead me to wondering how well base analogs work for mutagenesis in higher plants…
imo pollen mutagenesis with EMS is the simplest route to novel cannabinoid or terpene profiles, but nucleotide analogs might also get the job done.
the Scots understand the utility of this approach…

here is a recent write-up on EMS mutagenesis in maize https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31975293/
truth is, I’m actually a transposon guy…and cannabis actually looks well provisioned for that trick too: The rush is on. Who wants to grab a pack Mule?
