SUMMARY:Live Webinar Cannabis Tissue Culture
DESCRIPTION:Live Webinar Cannabis Tissue Culture	\n	\n		\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDistinguished Faculty\nKimberly Belfry\n   \nKimberly Belfry holds a bachelors in biochemistry and biotechnology from the University of Saskatchewan\, a doctorate in plant science from the University of Alberta\, and is a Professional Agrologist with the Ontario Institute of Agrologists. Kimberly has published 18 peer-reviewed articles that focus primarily on weed control in commercial corn and soybean production in Ontario.

As part of her training\, Kimberly has completed the Indoor Cannabis Horticulture Program in Oakland California.\n \nAbstract\nPlant tissue culture is a group of methods in which plant fragments\, seeds\, or individual cells may be used to propagate genetically identical offspring. Although not new to the plant sciences\, tissue culture has been rapidly gaining popularity in the cannabis sector due to its ability to produce large numbers of identical plants under sterile laboratory conditions.  \nThe cannabis industry is bringing in a lot of career opportunities to the Canadian market and is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing sectors in Canada. The rapid growth of tissue culture in the cannabis industry means there is a need for knowledgeable individuals to work in the managerial and technical roles. This workshop will give attendees a comprehensive look into tissue culture and its applications in cannabis production. Topics will include: \n\nIntroduction to tissue culture in plants\nTechniques in tissue culture\nDesigning a tissue culture lab that suits your goals and budget\n\nCourse Outline\n\nHistory of tissue culture\nPlant biology overview and introduction to totipotency\nBenefits of tissue culture in cannabis production\nMedia composition and various formulations\nPracticing good aseptic technique\nIdentifying and eliminating sources of contamination in your lab\nLaboratory design – From small to large scale\nHow to conduct your own tissue culture experiments\n\nWho Should Attend\nThis webinar is intended for those who are interested in tissue culture in cannabis; as a technician\, manager or organization looking to become a Licensed Producer (LP). No previous laboratory experience is required.
