You need to have a thick skin as a greenhouse manager in a breeding program. Our Erica Miller skillfully propagated and maintained greenhouses full of plants for 5 months only to have me throw 80% of these beautiful (but genetically inferior) plants into the compost.

Second talk from my lab in the cannabis workshop @PAGmeeting by @geo_stack who is talking about CBG genetics in hemp #PAG31

[Larry Smart @cornellwillow]

My group is making 10 presentations at @PAGmeeting this year #PAG31. Ph.D. student Luis Monserrate is talking about genetics of seed size and agronomic traits in hemp in the big room for the Cannabis workshop.

My student Luis Monserrate gave a great talk today on mapping genes for seed size in hemp at the Agronomy/Crop Science/Soil Science Conference. I spoke yesterday, so with our talks done and the sun out at lunchtime, I went to see this cool structure nearby.

We harvested a 2 acre scaleup plot of our new dual purpose hemp cultivar Ursa ‘Grande’ today. We probably should have found a larger lower sieve, because the seeds are about double the size of other hemp cultivars.

[Monique Rivera @moniquejrivera]

We are hiring! Come be my colleague and join a fantastic department!

It’s great to be on the NC State campus for the annual meeting of the FFAR Hemp Research Consortium https://t.co/h6j8IIBlCK

Researchers at @CornellAgriTech @CornellCALS have discovered a gene in hemp for resistance to powdery mildew, which will help breeders develop more resistant hemp cultivars. The result will be better overall crop production and quality. https://t.co/nxWFnPRLMz
