Well it appears Charles Scott and his colleagues have done what no other breeder out there has done (that I'm aware of anyway). Through the use of modern tissue culture techniques Charles and his colleagues were able to resurrect old in-viable seed stock from a Panama Red variety dating to the 70's or 80's.
Now I'm sure these tissue culture techniques have been well known about in the plant biology and research community for a long time but this seems to be the first time that this kind of work had resulted in viable seeds being available for purchase to the wider Cannabis community.
Obviously this kind of work has serious implications to individuals holding on to in-viable seed stock as well as the wider Cannabis community through boosting the somewhat limited Cannabis gene pool we have today.
Who out there has some old in-viable seeds they are holding? What strains do you have? And what are your thoughts on this news?
Discuss.

The Panama Red was obtained from a Old timer in The USA who saved every seed he ever found , we received a huge collection of seeds from the 70-80’s in paper envelopes with different writing on them we had zero success in germination we tried nail files etc etc no luck the old guy had maintained a line himself but it was crossed to Skunk #1 we sold it as Panama Red skunk Years later. I passed the seeds onto a pair of PHD’s I was working with who were running a tissue culture program they managed to actually get several seedlings to develop in agar jell with nutrient packs and lots of love and know how Most were not viable however we had 2 hermaphrodites and I solid female that we actually managed to get to grow out of the agar we grew out the all 3 and used hermaphrodite pollen from the 2 onto the singe female 20% off the offspring were not hermaphrodites , although we did not find a solid male.
