Evaluation of illicit drug contaminants in seized cannabis in Arizona and California, 2023-2024. [PDF]

J Forensic Sci
Abstract Despite public health concerns, fentanyl, cocaine, and other illicit drug contaminants remain largely understudied in unregulated cannabis. Here, we developed an analytical method to quantify a panel of common illicit drugs in cannabis and tested the law enforcement seizures in Arizona and California in evaluation of the illicit drug ...

Pseudozyma aphidis Suppresses Microbe-Associated Molecular Pattern (MAMP)-Triggered Callose Deposition and Can Penetrate Leaf Tissue

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Beneficial microorganisms need to overcome the plant defense system to establish on or within plant tissues. Like pathogens, beneficial microbes can manipulate a plant’s immunity pathways, first by suppressing and hiding to establish on the host and then
