Our heavy yielding classic, Lifter, is named after the "Mortgage Lifter" heirloom tomato variety, as a dedication to our mom, the queen of heirloom tomatoes and hillside gardening. She taught us how to cultivate, both in the field and the garde...

The science behind triploid cannabis varieties is remarkably simple - but the process to getting our varieties into triploid form has been a 3 year project. Learn more about the exciting advancements for the cannabis industry as well as some more inf...
Are your CBD hemp plants going to have above 0.3% total THC as dried flower? Most likely, learn why. We are proud to introduce our CBDV rich cultivars which will remain between the lines.
By Andrea GarfinkelWith our molecular marker-assisted breeding program in full force, we're having to call in robot reinforcements to help us keep up! Don't worry, the robot hasn't replaced any of our scientists. Our moves towards automation ju...
We are excited to be working with some great people on some meaningful projects, here are a few of the collaborations we had going on in 2020.Pat Hayes, Oregon State UniversityWe are working with Pat’s lab on tissue culture experiments to induce ha...
In recent years there has been a big buzz building around novel cannabinoids. Initially THC and CBD were the only go to’s for human consumption, but the desire to explore and experience the unknown has led to consumers and health professionals alik...
Female cannabis plants are often threatened by male pollen coming from a neighbor's garden. Now though, regular breeding has created the first cannabis triploid plants. This naturally occurring plant type not only is impervious to unexpected pollen, ...
How did we create 100% federally legal varieties for 2021? Seth explains the 3 year "varinization" breeding program implemented by the Oregon CBD team with Medicinal Genomics's Ben Amirault. We can't wait to get these CBDV and CBGV rich seed varietie...
Cannabinoid synthase genes are responsible for converting precursor chemicals into the cannabinoids we all love and benefit from. The genes are classified based on their nucleotide sequence similarity and the resulting compounds produced--CBGA, CBDA,...
An oft-asked question: what is the terpene profile of variety x? This is shorthand for a larger question that science is currently trying to answer, which is: what compounds are responsible for detectable aroma in cannabis? Fi...
Mean: average value in a population. Standard Deviation: measure of dispersion (i.e. how spread out are your numbers?)Total cannabinoid (TC) content (the sum of all cannabinoids by weight) is normally distributed within varieties. By definition under...
Oregon CBD plant pathologist Dr. Andrea Garfinkel has published a research note on her botrytis work on hemp in the Pacific Northwest conducted last fall in the journal "Plant Research." Genomic sequencing of botrytis isolates revealed thre...
Understanding cannabinoid synthase in cannabis plants isn't so simple. But with genomic sequencing we are learning the mechanisms responsible for the creation of THCa, CBDa, and CBGa production in plants. With this knowledge we are able to confidentl...
