Enrichment On the Department of Tissue Cultures

On the Department of Tissue Cultures

Inside our growing facility sits an important department that is responsible for developing the company's variety of varieties, improving them and cleaning them from fungal, mold and viruses that they accumulate during growing. Despite the enormous importance - this is one of the least known departments in the cannabis farm. Meet the Tissue Cultures Department of Mighty Nature

Development of a catalog of varieties

One of the most significant reasons for the establishment of the Department of Tissue Cultures is the development of stable strains for continuous work in the growing facility. At the time of writing, the State of Israel does not allow the cultivation of male cannabis plants for cross-fertilization. Such development operations are usually carried out in the districts of varietal developers abroad who provide Israeli producers with female seeds that contain variable genetic load. Hence, the Israeli producer has the task of finding the best seed and preserving its genetics in order to produce genetic stability. How do you do that?

By monitoring the growth and flowering processes of plants of the same variety that have hatched from different seeds, the Department of Tissue Cultures takes care to locate within each genetics the exact "subspecies" with which it is worth working. After locating the subspecies, a mother plant is grown from it; An oversized plant that is maintained in a state of growth, that is - that is not flowering, and its growth still produces a relatively high amount of branches. The branches can be pruned - that is, cut and then rooted to become a new plant with a genetic load that is exactly the same as the mother plant. In this way, the Department of Tissue Cultures takes care of developing and maintaining an accurate catalog of varieties that contains dozens of stable varieties. But the task does not end here, and after development one should also take care to maintain the health of these varieties.

Genetic improvement

The Department of Tissue Culture Growth takes care of the genetic improvement of each strain. As mentioned, cross-fertilization cannot be done to improve cannabis strains in Israel, and the genetics imported to Israel come here in the form of female seeds. The only way to improve plant genetics in Israel is through a kind of selection process of subspecies. Detail: The genetics of the varieties are quite stable, but still each seed carries a genetic load slightly different from its sibling. Accordingly, the plants that emerge from the seeds respond and develop differently, with each seed reaching different achievements. The Department of Tissue Cultures monitors the speed and direction of growth, development of rash foci as well as the presence of cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes to collect from each strain (genotype) the sub-species (phenotype) that responded best.

Pest cleaning

Along with maintaining a genetics bank and improving the teams - the Department of Tissue Cultures also takes care of cleaning them. Mother plants sometimes accumulate molds, fungi and certain bacteria that tend to attack cannabis plants, especially their inflorescences. The damage caused to the plant can be regional, but sometimes there is a systemic infection. That is, one that is evident in all plant systems. The Department of Tissue Cultures monitors the presence of harmful pathogens at all times. If such were found, by using tissue cultures a new mother plant could be produced, free from damage and pure from any aggressive pathogen and thus actually "clean up" the damage done to genetics - even if it was systemic.

The backbone of the company

The Department of Tissue Cultures is the mainstay of the tumor facility. The employees in the department take care of preserving the past with the help of a genetics bank with many seeds and cuttings. The characteristics of these genetics, the Department of Tissue Cultures, constantly checks to find particularly successful and durable plants. Also, the Department of Tissue Cultures also takes care to preserve the cleanliness of the genetics with the help of plant development from tiny tissues in a particularly long and long process. With these actions, the Department of Tissue Cultures preserves the company's assets, and of course takes care of a healthy, stable and normal inflorescence at the genetic level.
