Event Overview: This presentation will cover how the expression of various classes of therapeutic compounds found in cannabis and hemp (cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, etc.) can be affected by environmental and genetic factors. This presentation will also cover the various analytical tools that can be used to assess and optimize product quality.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Familiarity with major classes of phytomolecules found in cannabis/hemp
  • Overview of the analytical tools necessary to characterize cannabis/hemp
  • Comprehensive analysis of pertinent environmental considerations during cultivation

Speaker: Zacariah L. Hildenbrand, Ph.D., Research Professor, University of Texas at El Paso, Chief Scientific Officer and Director, Curtis Mathes Corporation

Manipulating Cannabis Genetics: Pulling Levers to Increase  Phytochemical Composition
Cannabis genetics fundamentally dictate the plant's potential for chemical signatures, including cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and physical traits, such as yield. Cultivators use selective techniques, such as "stacking," to enhance specific compounds. Ultimately, successful cultivation involves balancing superior genetics with environmental "levers" to optimize gene expression and create targeted strains.
