CHICAGO, April 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trilogene Seeds, renowned for
their cutting-edge cannabis genetics and breeding techniques,
unveiled their new line of triploid THCa seeds, a significant
breakthrough in cannabis cultivation. Building on their history of
innovation, these seeds are engineered to deliver multiple
industry-leading benefits, including reduced seed production,
seedless flower production, potentially higher flower yields,
enhanced crop uniformity, and significant improvements in flower
morphology and trichome density, which is crucial for oil
production.
The introduction of triploid genetics in cannabis, a concept
previously applied to other agricultural crops like seedless
watermelons, affords benefits for indoor and outdoor growers,
extractors, and consumers. Triploids, with an additional set of
chromosomes, are essentially sterile, channeling energy towards
more desirable traits rather than seed development. This sterility
also eliminates the risk of cross-pollination, ensuring consistency
and quality in cannabinoid levels. Despite the common
misconception, triploid seeds are not genetically-modified
organisms (GMO).
Polyploidy genetics, the condition of having more than two sets
of chromosomes, plays a pivotal role in the evolution and
diversification of plants by introducing genetic variability and
increased complexity. This genetic phenomenon is particularly
significant in the context of triploid seeds, where the organism
possesses three sets of chromosomes, resulting in sterility and
directing the plant's resources towards enhancing traits such as
growth, metabolite production, and in the case of cannabis,
potentially increased volatile compounds and trichome density,
thus, offering a compelling approach to optimizing cannabis
cultivation for both commercial and research purposes.
"We take an approach that prioritizes integrity and rigorous
scientific validation, pushing forward innovation within the
cannabis industry," said Matthew
Haddad, CEO and Founder of Trilogene Seeds. "Together with
our lead Chief Science Officer, Oussama
Badad, we are committed to leading the charge in research
and development, ensuring that every breakthrough we achieve is
grounded in solid science and brings tangible benefits to our
customers and the wider cannabis community. Our mission is to
amplify approaches that are not only scientifically sound but also
ethically responsible, driving progress that uplifts the entire
industry."
Trilogene's approach is backed by extensive research and
development, including insights from studies demonstrating the
superior qualities of triploid organisms in terms of growth and
secondary metabolite production. The company's commitment to
innovation is further underscored by their ongoing genomic research
aimed at targeting genes of interest to accelerate breeding
processes.
