Moderator: Karl Ravet @advancednutrients
Panelists: Michael Petersen (Wisconsin Crop Innovation Center) , Todd Michael @salkinstitute , Kevin McKernan @medicinal.genomics , and Gabriel Krouk @CNRS
This session delves into the powerful role of genomics in cannabis and modern agriculture. Panelists will introduce key concepts in cannabis genomics, discuss the current landscape of genetic knowledge, and highlight the unexplored potential within the cannabis genome. Attendees will discover how genomics is uncovering genetic diversity and enabling the identification of valuable traits, from pest resistance to enhanced yield. Through tools like marker-assisted selection (MAS),genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and genome editing (CRISPR), participants will learn how to leverage these innovations in breeding programs. Case studies will showcase the practical applications of genomics, demonstrating its transformative impact on developing resilient, high-performing cannabis varieties.
Key Topics Covered:
⦾ Fundamentals of genomics in agriculture and cannabis
⦾ Current understanding and mysteries within the cannabis genome
⦾ Exploring genetic diversity to pinpoint valuable traits
⦾ Advanced breeding tools: MAS, GWAS, and CRISPR
⦾ Real-world case studies in genomics-driven breeding success
