Non-Browning and Extended Shelf Life Crop Variety Development
Development of CRISPR-edited and transgenic crop varieties with suppressed polyphenol oxidase and ethylene biosynthesis genes that eliminate browning and extend fresh shelf life in cut lettuce, mushrooms, apple slices, and bananas without preservative application. Enables reduction of fresh produce post-harvest losses at retail and consumer level where browning-driven rejection represents a primary food waste driver, while also improving convenience and reducing food waste in food service and home settings where browning limits the usability window of cut fresh produce.

Biocontrol-Based Post-Harvest Disease Management Platform Development
Development of yeast, bacterial, and fungal biocontrol agent products for post-harvest application to fruits and vegetables that suppress storage diseases including gray mold, blue mold, and brown rot through competitive exclusion, induced resistance, and direct antagonism without synthetic fungicide residues. Enables fresh produce supply chains to reduce post-harvest chemical fungicide use while maintaining disease control efficacy, addressing consumer and retailer demand for reduced pesticide residues on fresh produce and the growing resistance limitations of chemical post-harvest fungicide programs.

1-MCP Alternative Ethylene Management Biotechnology for Fruit Storage
Development of plant-derived, bio-based, and enzymatic ethylene management alternatives to 1-methylcyclopropene for post-harvest climacteric fruit ripening delay and storage life extension that avoid synthetic chemical concerns and provide access to organic market certification. Addresses the post-harvest fruit storage market gap for organic producers and markets where 1-MCP application is either prohibited or incompatible with certification requirements, requiring alternative ethylene management technologies with equivalent ripening delay efficacy and biological safety profiles.
