// Definition
The collection, study, and preservation of cannabis landraces - locally adapted varieties that developed over centuries in isolation. Davis Allen and Chris from UBC discussed inbred landrace heirloom lines, breeding F1 hybrid lines from true-breeding landrace stock, and documenting cultivar morphology and traits.
// From the Episode
Research at University of British Columbia focused on biodiversity and genetics of isolated landrace strains. Work includes developing new F1 lines from inbred landrace heirlooms and true-breeding hybrid line selection. Emphasis on preserving genetic diversity before modern hybridization eliminates unique traits. Environmental pressure and stress create unique adaptations in isolated populations.
