Hot off the press! We assembled 7 new diploid phased hemp genomes and compared them to 200+ other assemblies. We also looked at the recombination landscape across the genome and re-mapped the location of the Early1 flowering time locus. Check it out here: mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1165

We are looking for graduate students to present their work at the 2024 Cornell Corteva Plant Breeding Symposium "Breeding for novel systems and complex problems" on April 12th, 2024. Come share your work and network!

We are searching for an Asst Prof of Seed Biology and Technology. Apply here before the Jan 2 deadline. Cornell AgriTech is a great place to work in the beautiful Finger Lakes. Opportunities to collaborate on hemp seed biology and coating technologies. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/j…
Really nice article from @CornellNews about our latest paper: Hemp cannabinoids may have evolved to deter insect pests news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

ALT Cannabis sativa plant on the left has a gene that helps it resist powdery mildew; the plant on the right is infected with the fungal disease. Photo and caption by Cornell University.
Cornell researchers have discovered a gene in #hemp for resistance to powdery mildew – giving the fledgling hemp industry a new tool to combat one of the most prevalent diseases affecting the production of high-cannabinoid Cannabis sativa. @MPMIjournal news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

We are still looking to fill slots for PAG Plant Reproductive Genomics session - send me a message or email if interested - reproduction broadly defined!
The fourth (and final🎉) chapter of my dissertation is out in @Hortres! We used a segregating F2 population to investigate the role of cannabinoids in defense against chewing herbivores. Check out the article here: doi.org/10.1093/hr/uhad207

Researchers at @CornellAgriTech @CornellCALS have discovered a gene in hemp for resistance to powdery mildew, which will help breeders develop more resistant hemp cultivars. The result will be better overall crop production and quality. news.cornell.edu/stories/202…
Excited that the third chapter of my dissertation was accepted to @MPMIjournal! We identified a new source of powdery mildew resistance in hemp resulting from a MLO susceptibility gene interrupted by a (suspected) transposable element . First look here: apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/1…
Thanks to my incredible coauthors @alircala, Mike Quade, Jacob Toth, @LuisMonserrate, Dustin Wilkerson, @CraigHCarlson, Allen Mamerto, Todd Michael, @SethOregon, @ChristineSmart6, and @cornellwillow

@ASHS_Hort Hemp came together to develop standards for research and industry data. Here's how we define plant height, flowering time, and crop quality.
