BreedIT Corp Submits First Two Proprietary Medical Cannabis Strains for Registration With Israel's Ministry of Agriculture

NEW YORK, December 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

BreedIT Corp., (OTCQB: BRDT) through its Israeli subsidiary, BreedIT Ltd., the exclusive worldwide license holder and distributor of highly sophisticated agro-breeding solutions software for plant breeders and researchers, today announced that its joint venture, KanaboSeed Ltd., has submitted applications for the registration of two new cannabis strains to the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development Plant Breeders' Rights Council.

The new varieties are the first to be developed by the KanaboSeed organization since the venture was formed in August of this year. Characterized by phenotypic and genotypic traits, the strains were cultivated to achieve CBD-to-THC ratios identified by the Company's Scientific Advisory Board as likely to be effective in the management of particular medical conditions.

Dr. Oded Sagee, Chief Executive Officer of BreedIT LTD, commented on the announcement: "We formed KanaboSeed to leverage the horticultural expertise of Seach Ltd., a licensed Israeli medical cannabis grower, with the technical and research capabilities of BreedIT Ltd., as well as our iBreedIT software platform. Working together we are able develop and evaluate new strains relatively quickly, thereby reducing the timeline from research to market."

Dr. Sagee went on to say: "These two registration applications are just the first for what we anticipate will be a line of new potential cannabis varieties that KanaboSeed is developing to address specific medical uses. We intend to capitalize on the commercialization of new varieties, as allowed by the laws and regulations, in Israel and other countries where regulation permits the use of medical cannabis."

The review process includes a 90 day period for public discourse as well as two harvest seasons. Once approved, the Company will be granted a registration (the equivalent of a patent) for the strains, preventing the unauthorized propagation of the plant strains as well as the use of any harvested material, including entire plants and parts of plants, any products produced directly out of harvested material.

Shay Avraham Sarid, KanaboSeed's Manager of Research and Development, also commented on the announcement: "This is an important milestone for KanaboSeed. The BreedIT team contributes significant value to our development efforts, most notably the ability to streamline the breeding process. In addition to saving time, we are also developing new varieties more cost-effectively. Together we are building a product pipeline that will provide numerous opportunities for revenue growth going forward."
