Throughout North America’s heartland, farmers are once again turning to hemp cultivation as a cash crop. To improve overall crop quality and yields, farmers have begun relying on enterprising start-ups like Dewey Scientific to help them achieve the best results. With state-of-the-art genomic analysis, Dr. Jordan Zager and Dr. Mark Lange, can peer much deeper into the inner workings of cannabis plants than ever before. This work has also led to fascinating discoveries within the field of cannabis physiology, biochemistry, and genomics that are invaluable to the future of this industry. So, for this episode I decided to sit down with both of them to discuss their ground-breaking research on the inner workings of cannabis trichomes, how this affects cannabinoid and terpene synthesis, and how their new company aims to use all this in overcoming current industry challenges. Get ready to put your science helmet on for this one because it’s going to get intense.
