Plant Genomics and How it Relates to Cannabis Breeding w/ Chad Westport & SunGrownMidz - Part Deux!

If you are looking for a college level lesson in the principles and foundations of plant breeding, you have found the right place. Originally recorded and aired in 2021, the information provide within is timeless.

Trevor / SunGrownMidz returns for another session. This episode will build on our previous session, tonight we talk complex inheritance of quantitative traits controlled by the interaction of multiple genes and environment. Traits like yield, secondary metabolites and sexual expression are all quantitative traits, and usually the main focus for cannabis breeders.
