Summary

Dr. Zellner received her Doctorate from the University of Toledo in 2012 where she trained in molecular and cellular biology, focusing on the role of silicon in plant defense responses. Upon graduation, she pursued a four-year postdoctoral position with the USDA-ARS, where she continued studying the role of silicon in alleviating both abiotic and biotic stress in tomato and tobacco. Her current studies are to design standard methods for quantifying the uptake of silicon from fertilizer material in addition to identifying uptake mechanisms for silicon in model species and testing for similar pathways in other crops.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Cannabis Cautubus
0:03.0	and Science Podcast. I'm your host, Tad Hussey of Kiss Organics.
0:23.5	This is the podcast where we discuss the cutting edge of growing from a science-based
0:27.2	perspective and drawn top experts from around the industry to share their wisdom and knowledge.
0:32.3	My guest this week is Dr. Wendy Zellner.
0:34.9	Dr. Zellner received her doctorate from the University of Toledo in 2012,
0:39.3	where she trained in molecular and cellular biology, focusing on the role of silicon in plant defense responses.
0:45.3	Upon graduation, she pursued a four-year postdoctoral position with the USDA ARS,
0:51.3	where she continued studying the role of silicon in alleviating both abiotic and
0:55.6	biotic stress in tomato and tobacco. Her current studies are to design standard methods for
1:01.0	quantifying the uptake of silicon from fertilizer material in addition to identifying
1:05.7	uptake mechanisms for silicon in model species and testing for similar pathways and other crops.
1:11.7	I learned a ton from Wendy in this podcast, and it got me excited to do more plant trials utilizing
1:16.6	silicon. So in conjunction with the release of this podcast, we are offering discounts on the two
1:21.5	main silica products that we carry at Kiss Organics, Egg Cell 16H and will last tonight for
1:26.8	a limited time.
1:27.8	Now on to the show.
