 Best Practices for Cannabis Cultivation: A Meta-AnalysisBest Practices for Cannabis Cultivation: A Meta-Analysis
 
A meta-analysis of cannabis cultivation showed that plant density, light intensity, and fertilization are the major contributors to cannabis yield, with pot size, light type, and duration of the flowering period representing potential predictors of THC build-up. The aim of the research was to identify the main factors that influence yield per plant, per square meter, and per watt of lighting electricity.

As more and more countries legalize Cannabis sp. for medicinal and recreational use, research studies continue to explore and validate its potential therapeutic effects. An example of this is the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. The anecdotal evidence of the efficacy of cannabis in various gastrointestinal disorders has been corroborated by the discovery of endogenous cannabinoids, receptors, and synthetic and degradative enzymes in the gut.
 
 Measuring Cannabinoid Content in Seized Cannabis Samples
 
Measuring Cannabinoid Content in Seized Cannabis SamplesResearchers from the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the University of Bern have developed a new method for the forensic analysis and quality control of cannabis products. The method successfully characterized 110 cannabis samples seized by police, thereby demonstrating its ability to meet the increasing worldwide demand for fast, and effective routine cannabis potency testing in the forensic setting.
 
 
 Using Yeast to Produce Novel Cannabinoid Analogs
 
Using Yeast to Produce Novel Cannabinoid AnalogsResearchers have successfully recreated the entire biosynthetic pathway for a range of major cannabinoids – including TCH and CBD in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Manipulation of gene expression and enzyme promiscuity enabled the team to alter both the flux and activities of several pathways to produce both standard cannabinoids and rare analogs.
 
 
 Antimicrobial Properties of Cannabis
 
Antimicrobial Properties of CannabisAntibiotics are becoming less effective in the fight against microbial infections. Their overconsumption and misuse, for example as growth promoters in the food industry, has been linked to a rise in antibiotics-resistant strains such as meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis XDR-TB.
