Augmenting fungal control in apples with natural compounds
Author: Dr. Bruce C. Campbell, Dr. Jong H. Kim
Published: 2009
Summary: The goal of this research is to find new, safe natural compounds that effectively improve activity of conventional fungicides for pre/ post-harvest treatment of apple. We are trying to identify molecular targets of these compounds using genomic tools and determine effective methods for delivery of discovered compounds. This research will greatly improve the ability to suppress decay of apples, a priority identified by the WTFRC.
