Does hemp respond to stress like Cotton?
Our current project is determining the response to environmental stress to identify molecular tools to enhance hemp production in Texas and the southern high plains
Evaluate germplasm for abiotic stress
Identify germplasm for production in the Southern High Plains
Identify genetic traits, genes, and sequences of desired phenotypic traits in hemp for the southern high plains for research and development of breeding
Enjoy our images of hemp fields and testing facilities. We want to know if a tri-crop system will work for the Southern High Plains which includes using the entire plant. Understanding how hemp grows, which varieties have natural mycorrhizae functions, which have lost photoperiods, and how they respond to stress will aid in programs to create varieties suitable for West Texas.
