VANCOUVER, (March 10, 2021) Segra International Corp. and Allele Genetics, a subsidiary of Catalyst BC, are pleased to announce they have entered into an exclusive agreement to distribute Allele’s collection of data-backed “Proven Cultivar” cannabis cultivars within the Canadian market and other legal international markets. Allele’s Proven Cultivars have been grown at both a commercial scale and for breeding and agronomic dataset development for over a decade by one of the most experienced operational teams in the industry, Catalyst BC, and its affiliates. Harnessing the strength of its proven Plant Tissue Culture technology, Segra will be releasing Allele cultivars on an ongoing basis as part of its Verified Clean Stock program.
Allele’s Proven Culticars have been carefully selected based on cannabinoid profile and yield, terpene profiles, and key characteristics such as maturation cycle time, high-density trichome area index (“TAI”), mold/mildew resistance and high bract-to-leaf ratios. The ongoing cultivar releases will represent abroad palate of terpene profiles yielding flavors and aromas ranging from citrus to berry and cake to gas–flavors the modern cannabis consumer desires. Amplifying Allele’s Proven Winners with the power of Segra’s tissue culture technologies will ensure consistently high-performing plants that are, as with all Segra tissue culture plants, Verified Clean Stock. Segra and Allele are confident that this offering will help producers turn better plants into better profits.
“Segra is thrilled to be partnering more closely with Allele and able to offer a portion of their data-backed collection, through tissue culture, to operators,” said Segra CEO Jamie Blundell. “Allele has developed an incredible portfolio of diverse, premium cannabis cultivars through tremendous industry expertise and experience. Partnering with top genetics consultants, like Allele Genetics, is central to Segra’s ability to continuously provide our clients with the cultivars of the future, and we are keen to showcase how top genetics, paired with the performance of tissue culture, will lead to operational optimization for Canadian LPs.”
“Today’s cannabis consumer desires potency, flavor, and aroma. Allele’s Proven Cultivars is a collective team effort to enhance and elevate the evolving consumer experience. We have spent the better part of a decade collecting critical agronomic data and consumer feedback necessary to drive cannabis cultivar identification, selection, collection, trialing, and optimization.” Said Eric Forington, Director of Plant Breeding and Genetics at Allele Genetics. Our primary goal is an emphasis on both consumer experience, through consistently high-quality, high-potency, flavor and aroma-forward flower, and LP success by allowing superior genetics to do the heavy agronomic lifting. We are incredibly excited to support the distribution of our Proven Cultivars in the Canadian and legal global import/export markets through Segra’s proprietary micropropagation process and look forward to partnering with Segra to provide true-to-type, commercially viable plantlets at scale.”
