Our Research
Our first study examined:
1)If the exposure of the entire fresh cannabis plant (20 cm height) to non-thermal modified plasma field at atmospheric pressure generated by Tetron Protein Reset Technology (TPRT) increase the concentration of cannabinoids in the treated plants and at what stage of plant growth are these effects demonstrated?
2) if the differences in the cannabinoids’ concentration of the leaves and flowers differ between the treated and the control plants?
3) if the plants exposure to the TPRT affects the photosynthetic activity of the treated plants when compared to control plants.
The Cannabis cultivar selected for this study was Santhica 27, a French industrial hemp strain from the sativa family.
The Non thermal Plasma Technology used: ENP has signed permission to use the patented technology: The TPRT technology uses non-thermal plasma at atmospheric pressure along with additional components. It was invented by Orteron (T.O.) Ltd (www.orteron-to.com) and patented in the USA and Israel (US and Israeli Patents: US8896211 B2; IS226105 (before being named) -see What have we invented in Orteron’s website menu.
Results
- The results demonstrate that we can alter the cannabinoids concentrations in cannabis plants if the plants are exposed to the non-thermal modified plasma field (MPF), which is applied by TRPT (see: Figure 1 and Figure 2). The study also shows that the effects of the non-thermal modified plasma fields has both short-term effects (immediately after the exposure to the treatments) and long-term effects (4-5 weeks after the plants were exposed to the MPF generated by TPRT), when they were naturally grown without additional exposure to the TPRT.

2. The results also confirm that different parts of the cannabis plant (flowers and leaves) produce different cannabinoid concentrations. However, there are varying patterns of differences depending on which cannabinoid is involved:
a. For CBGA – higher concentration in flowers than in leaves for both the treated and control samples. However, these differences were larger in the control group (82.9%) compared to the treated group (37.2%).
b. For CBG – no difference in concentration was found between the flowers and leaves in the treated samples (0.8%), whereas 42.5% difference was found in the control group.
c. For CBC – An extremely large difference, more than three times larger, was found in the flowers and leaves of the treated samples (326.5%), and lower amounts and a much smaller gap in the control samples favoring the leaves
d. The results also show no significant differences betwee the cannabinoids concentration in the leaves of treated plants and the flowers of control plants: for CBGA (M=1737.17 vs 1984.3 t=-0.26 p<.27), for CBG (195.67 vs 152.67 t=1.43 p<.09), and for CBC (16.05 vs 17.63 t=0.125 p<.45).
3. Interestingly and importantly: the results show that the treatment of the cannabis plants with TPRT did not negatively affect their photosynthetic activity. The results also show that the decline in the photosynthetic activity is more gradual in the treated plants compared to the control plants. A significant difference is observed in stage 1 between the treated and the coontrol group (t=3.11 p<.004). (see Figure 3). No significant difference has been observed in stage 2 between treated and control samples (1.47 p<.08).

Forthcoming set of studies planned:
- Applying Orteron’s biotechnology TPRT as a preventive technology against pests
- Extermination and wiping out pests when applying TPRT on contaminated plants
- Demonstrating the results of applying TPRT on different parts of the plants in terms of the amount of plant’s growth and the quality of the crops products
