Speakers: Jess & Allison, Cymra Life Sciences
About: Plant Tissue Culture is regarded as the best way to propagate and store disease-free clonal lines of Cannabis. Tissue Culture is a well established technique for a huge range of horticultural, agricultural and ornamental plants and is also useful for the temporary preservation of endangered species. In theory it’s also great for Cannabis as long as you take Cannabis’ unique requirements into consideration. Jess and Allison’s talk will help you assess if tissue culture is right for your facility or end use.
