Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is a multi-purpose crop bred for fiber, grain, and oil. Visit the National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) Plant Genetic Resources Unit (PGRU) in Geneva, New York to learn about diverse hemp germplasm from the scientists maintaining this collection--Dr. Zachary Stansell, Dr. Tyler Gordon, and Justin Kaufman. Their work of maintaining, evaluating, and distributing these materials helps hemp breeders and researchers around the world access priority traits essential for crop improvement.
