Ich könnte mir vorstellen dir würde slay the spire gefallen. Ist aber nicht raumeffizient.

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover.

New paper out!
We analysed the progeny of a single selfed hemp plant for genetic and phenotypic variability.
Turns out it's substantial, with many genotype-phenotype associations established using "GSAS".

We show that the transcriptional landscape of male and female plants diverges already at very early vegetative stages.
Using a number of different comparative gene expression approaches we identify several of candidate sex determination genes.

New paper:
Sex determination in Cannabis.
Cannabis has male and female plants, but how is this controlled genetically?
