Cannabinoid Free Plants - Where Does Their Energy Go? @medicinal.genomics

Uploaded November 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

What if a cannabis plant produced zero cannabinoids? This research is knocking out multiple upstream genes to create true Type V, cannabinoid-free lines and study how the plant reallocates its energy: potentially into terpenes, yield, or entirely new pathways. #shorts #cannabiseducation #cannabisinnovation

Michael Petersen, Senior Scientist at the University of Wisconsin Madison-Crop Innovation Center, presented, "Creation of Novel Traits Through Genetic Engineering and Editing of Cannabinoid, Terpene, and Flavonoid Pathways in Cannabis sativa" at CannMed 2025.

$What is Solventless Extraction? Why is the market moving towards it? - Alisha Holloway Alisha Holloway is the Chief Scientific Officer at Phylos where she leads the R&D group that focuses on foundational genomic research, development of high-throughput genetic and chemical testing capabilities, discovery of genetic markers, and the development of new cannabis varieties via classical and marker-assisted breeding. At CannMed 26, she will present “Enhancing Cannabis Quality via Marker-Assisted Selection for Improved Solventless Extraction Yield” During our conversation, we discuss: * What solventless extraction is and why its gaining popularity * The traits that make a cannabis plant a good washer * How Alisha’s team designed and conducted a washability study across hundreds of plant samples * How they identified genetic markers for good washers that hold up across diverse genetic backgrounds * How marker-assisted selection accelerates the breeding process Thanks to This Episodes Sponsor: The Cannabis Research Center & Coalition. The Cannabis Research Center & Coalition (CRC), founded by Dr. Allison Justice, is a professional group dedicated to advancing cannabis cultivation and post harvest processing. CRC partners with Universities and The Hemp Mine LLC, an industry leader in cannabis genetics and production, to tackle the cultivation and post harvest challenges facing today’s cannabis industry. Their cooperative research model, inspired by successful horticulture and greenhouse research collaborations, allows members to benefit from pooled resources, gaining access to cutting-edge, science-based research at a fraction of the cost.
