New Grower Grafting other Plants to cannabis to pass on genetic dna

[Kaiju]

Has anybody experimented with this?

Has anybody got any scientific research on this?

Is this how some breeders bring certain flavours out in some plants?

Very interesting as it does transfer some DNA in other plants so it must do in cannabis

Nice one bro! Isnt that about grafting cannabis to other cannabis?

I mean more like grafting a citrus branch etc

I am fairly certain to introduce "foreign" DNA into another species would require more than a graft, especially with species that are entirely unrelated.
It is far too complicated to explain here, but you basically can't join species that are unrelated, the host will attack the graft or the graft will not be able to thrive.
Mixing unrelated DNA requires expensive time consuming methods.

Otherwise I would hate to think where the "catpiss" smell some weed has comes from or "skunk" !

Cannabis has been grafted to hops plants.
But the plants DNA are still the same....

Cannabis & Humulus (hops) are in the same family ( Cannabaceae)
So they can tolerate grafting to one another, however they will not exchange dna

Very interesting,(Out of my league) but interesting!

I cant comment on grafting but introducing new DNA into plants is relatively simple these days.

If you are interested google: Agrobacterium tumafaciens
or have a read of this : Full text of "The Biotechnology of Cannabis sativa"

If anyone has any questions on this just ask
