Cannabis Genetics and Sex

This course explores the diversity of sexual strategies in plants, with a focus on Cannabis sativa and its unique reproductive biology. Students will compare flower types and sexual systems, distinguishing between dioecious and monoecious reproductive strategies. The course goes into the evolution of sex chromosomes, their structural variation in C. sativa, and their role in determining plant sex. Additionally, students will examine sexual strategies within the Cannabaceae family and analyze the process and implications of feminized seeds and sex reversal techniques. By the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of cannabis sex determination and its applications in breeding and cultivation.
