Plant Biology: or Botany, also called plant science(s) or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology. A botanist, plantscientist or phytologist is a scientist who specialises in this field.
There is an enormous, real-world experiment happening today that will shape agriculture’s future. Specifically, we are seeing an aggressive competition between outdoor, greenhouse, and...
Clinical trials are the backbone of medical science. Traditional pharmaceutical companies spend millions of dollars and a decade plus on conducting trials to substantiate the marketing of a...
The legalization of recreational cannabis has brought several challenges for cannabis extractors. Due to the increased scrutiny, they are required to get the product tested for an entire hos...
Learning Objectives: 1. The main focus will be on the actual steps of the post harvest process with the key monitoring points that impact flower quality. 2. The secondary takeaway would be t...
Learning Objectives: 1. What states will begin requiring mandatory testing for cannabis this year? 2. What states have recently changed their testing regulations? What states are looking to...
In today’s busy Cannabis laboratory environment, users are faced with increasing laboratory analysis and management challenges, regulatory pressures, evolving customer needs and demand...
Setting up an analytical laboratory requires a clear objective and analytical resources, both instrumentation and technical. The four main areas of focus exist during this process: 1) Instru...
Learning Objectives: 1. Introduce the audience to a general overview of bacterial and fungal contamination 2. Identify areas in the growing and manufacturing industries to monitor for bacter...
Household produce varieties such as ‘Red Delicious,’ ‘Campari,’ and ‘Earlidew’ have been selectively bred and have been enhanced for flavor since the 1990...
Here we present a case study on the combined use of cannabis, psilocybin, and conventional oncology treatments which induced remission in a stage IV metastatic breast cancer patient. A 49-ye...
Given that the hemp industry in the United States is still nascent, certified seed offers American farmers a way to minimize the risk of growing hemp. For hemp, certification carries additio...
In the post prohibition era, a vacuum of regulations, standards, and best practices is quickly being filled. Learn how those who truly care about the cannabis industry are acting through exi...
Explore the world of the vaping through a presentation whereas science, politics, and culture collide. Dr. Marcu guides you through a nuanced discussion of why the vaping crisis curve seems...
With the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill legalizing hemp, farmers are allowed to grow hemp. Like any other agricultural crop, pesticides are applied to hemp plants to protect it from pests and...
The objective of this study was to produce a fast, accurate, and precise method for analyzing terpenes in hemp using headspace/gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Modern interest in terpen...
Healthcare providers are increasingly being asked from their patients for advice and recommendations for the use of cannabis in all types of conditions and disease states. One of the most ch...
Every cannabis variety has unique genetics, but the plant's potential is limited by its environment. Manipulating inputs and modifying the environment is the most effective way to maximi...
Vaporizing cannabis concentrates is increasing in popularity as a potentially healthier alternative to smoking. However, little is known about the chemical profiles of aerosolized concentrat...
Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the major staple food crops grown in over 140 countries in the subtropics and tropics with annual global production of around 148 million metric, feeding about 50...
CRISPR-Cas9 based gene editing is a powerful tool which can induce heritable mutations at desired genomic loci without leaving transgenic trace in plants. Here we constructed a robust, multip...
First discovered as a genome-editing tool just seven years ago, CRISPR systems have already changed the face of basic research, allowing researchers to alter the DNA of hundreds of organisms...
The emergence and spread of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria and resistance mechanisms pose a serious challenge to laboratories in both hospital clinical microbiology and public health...
