Diving into the hype of polyploidy in cannabis, we're chasing the seedless dream, sparked by watermelon tech. But let's get real: Is this genetic game-changer a fit for cannabis, or are we just tech-struck? Polyploidy ramps up chromosomes, turning stable cannabis plants into wild genetic frontiers. The aim is creating seedless strains. But it's a gamble, with results as unpredictable as a dice roll. As we explore new breeding frontiers, let's not lose sight of the value in the basics - we still don't have standardized, consistent outdoor production methods dialed Balancing innovation with proven methods is key for meaningful progress.

🌽Bad corn pun incoming: What did the cornfield say when it was relieved to hear that it was going to rain? "Phew, that's music to my ears." The challenges #farmers are facing are no joke, but #innovations like short-stature corn can be part of the solution. With stronger stalks due to reduced height, which are less likely to break or fall over in high winds, short-stature corn can help farmers weather increasing extreme weather events 🌬️🌦️ I’m excited to share that Bayer and Pairwise just announced a new, multi-million dollar partnership that builds on the success of the previous five-year collaboration. The new agreement will focus innovation efforts on delivering on the potential of gene-edited short-stature corn, the key component of the #TeamBayer Preceon Smart Corn System. 🚀🧬

Excellent paper AchilleS Vaccines! When possible, in the near future, could you please reveal the source of the recombinant Neisseria strain that you used in this published research. Was it a modified ATCC strain for which you have a licence? How was it modified? By whom? This will help others to benefit from this interesting work, which is one of the main reason why we publish scientific papers.

Touch, feel, your relationship with the plants Shots fired 🔫🔫🔫🔫 These plants are biological machines. You don’t need crystals in your pocket. You don’t need to talk to them and check in with them every day. Create a plan stick to a plan save that woo woo for the marketing department. Stray bioscience understands exactly what cannabis plants need to promote genetic maximum potential #cannabisindustry #expert #cultivation #comedymattersinlife 🌱🌱🌱strive to thrive🌱🌱 Stray bioscience FTW!

🌽Great news for short-stature corn for future use in Bayer’s Preceon Smart Corn System! Bayer and Pairwise announced a new partnership that builds on the success of the previous collaboration, championing innovation in gene editing. 🧬 Short-stature corn has emerged as a game-changer for farmers 👩🌾 . With stronger stalks and reduced height, it’s less susceptible to breaking or falling over in high winds 🌬️. On the other side, shorter corn fields are more accessible to standard ground equipment 🚜longer into the season. This means more opportunities for timely and precise applications of crop protection products and other inputs, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable corn production process. Excitingly, we may soon witness these innovations in Europe 🇪🇺 if the regulatory framework for #NGTs (New Genomic Techniques) paves the way for groundbreaking developments in agriculture. 🌽🔬📈#AgInnovation #GeneEditing
