Grant: CCI Applied Research and Development Grants
Collège La Cité
$40,000.00
Development and optimisation of short-term and long-term methods for conservation of cannabis elite cultivars
FY 2023-24
Summary
Apollo Green is a nursery that develop genetics for the global cannabis industry. Their genetic bank is the largest in Canada and is still growing. Conservation of those genetics is becoming too costly and the company is in need of cheaper solutions. The TAC-B at La Cité College will help them improve their short-term conservation methods and develop long-term storage solutions that would fit their budget and help the company sustain their growth. Potential genetic drift associated with those conservation methods will also be assessed using whole genome sequencing. These results will provide valuable data not only to the company but also to the whole scientific community.
