Title:
Improved cannabis safety and commercial crop protection with plant pathogen resistance
Agreement Value:
$25,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 24, 2021 - Mar 31, 2023
Description:
This project will attempt to identify variation in Botrytis cinerea resistance and susceptibility within available cannabis germplasm. Transcriptomics coupled with laser dissection microscopy will be used to explore the interactions between the plant and pathogen. Sources of pathogen resistance in cannabis will be investigated.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
