The Shifting Landscape of Cannabis Breeding and Genetic Control
Jorge Cervantes and three co-authors assess how modern genomic tools, triploids, and F1 seeds are transforming cannabis cultivation and ownership.
Technological advancements are rapidly redefining the fundamentals of cannabis breeding. The emergence of F1 seeds, triploids, genomic testing, and gene editing has introduced sophisticated methodologies to the discipline, altering how plants are engineered and analyzed.
Author Jorge Cervantes and three co-authors detail the exact capabilities and present limitations of each breeding mechanism. In addition to outlining what the current science cannot yet substantiate, the authors examine the broader implications of these developments, specifically regarding who maintains control over the plant's genetic library.
