Stimuli-responsive polysaccharide particles from pectin side streams for smart food packaging
Our technology converts underutilized pectin production side streams into regenerated polysaccharide particles that serve as carriers for functional color-change indicators. These stimuli-responsive materials visibly det...
Plant-associated microbial libraries for crop growth promotion and pathogen control
Unique collections of plant-associated yeasts, fungi, and bacteria available for partnership screening. Includes 96 yeast strains, 70 fungi and 50 bacteria from the spermosphere, and 80 fungal isolates from cotton roots ...
Pectin-enhanced Bacillus bio fungicide for improved crop disease control and microbiome health
A novel seed treatment combining Bacillus strains producing anti-fungal and anti-oomycete metabolites with pectin-rich organic amendments to improve soybean and cotton protection against Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and Pythiu...
Standalone biodegradable packaging films with low oxygen transmission rates for food contact applications
Standalone biodegradable packaging films formulated from two polymer components to achieve oxygen transmission rates below 0.3 cc/m²·day and tensile strength above 25 MPa. The films are designed to provide barrier integr...
Beneficial microbe consortium to restore leaf microbiome resilience after fungicide applications
A microbiome-based agricultural solution that uses beneficial yeast and bacterial consortia to restore leaf microbiome resilience following fungicide applications. The approach targets non-target effects on beneficial ph...
Thin film coating for greaseproof and water-resistant paper plates
Aqueous thin-film coating technology that blocks water and oil penetration on paper substrates at 150 F. Applied via traditional paper coating methods using low-cost components, the ultra-thin layer preserves recyclabili...
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria for drought-tolerant bermudagrass
A collection of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains, including the characterized DH44 strain of Paenibacillus sonchi, that colonize bermudagrass to enhance drought tolerance, root growth, and nutrient upt...
Corn-peanut intercropping system for enhanced crop yield and soil health in the Southeast US
A research collaboration opportunity to validate a corn-peanut intercropping system designed to increase overall crop yield, suppress weeds, and improve nitrogen fixation in Southeast US farmland. The approach maximizes ...
Biodegradable PBS tie layer for improved moisture barrier in metalized films
A co-extrusion approach using polybutylene succinate (PBS) as a biodegradable tie layer to reduce microcracks in aluminum-based metalized films, enhancing moisture barrier performance for compostable food packaging appli...
PGPR Biocontrol Seed Treatment for Soilborne Pathogen Rhizoctonia solani in Peanuts
Novel biological seed treatment using plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to control Rhizoctonia solani in peanuts. Addresses the lack of biological alternatives to conventional fungicides for managing seed rots ...
