Cross-Protection and Mild Strain Biocontrol Development for Viral Disease Management
Development of attenuated mild virus strain products for cross-protection-based management of economically important plant viruses including Citrus tristeza virus, Pepper mild mottle virus, and Zucchini yellow mosaic virus in perennial fruit crops and high-value vegetable production systems. Enables commercial plant virus management through cross-protection approaches that exploit viral superinfection exclusion to prevent severe strain infection by deliberately infecting host plants with mild strains that induce protection without themselves causing significant yield loss, offering a biological management option for viruses lacking effective resistant varieties or chemical treatments.

Emerging Viral Disease Rapid Response Platform for Commercial Production Protection
Development of rapid response platforms for novel plant virus emergence that combine rapid diagnostic development, epidemiological investigation, management option evaluation, and grower advisory communication into coordinated response programs that limit crop losses from newly identified viral diseases before long-term management solutions are developed. Enables the agricultural industry and plant health authorities to mount effective interim management responses to newly emerged or newly introduced plant viruses within weeks of first identification, reducing crop losses during the period before formal diagnostic methods, resistant varieties, and management programs are commercially available for novel viral threats.

Rapid Mycotoxin Lateral Flow Immunoassay Development for Grain Trade Screening
Development of quantitative lateral flow immunoassay platforms for aflatoxin, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, and fumonisin detection in grain samples with 10-15 minute test completion at sensitivity levels meeting major food and feed regulatory limits for routine screening in grain receiving and trading operations. Enables grain traders, processors, and food manufacturers to implement cost-effective mycotoxin screening at grain intake without the laboratory processing delay of HPLC and ELISA reference methods, providing the rapid test turnaround required for commercial grain receiving decisions that cannot wait hours for laboratory results.

Predictive Mycotoxin Risk Model Development for Pre-Harvest Contamination Management
Development of weather-based mycotoxin risk prediction models for aflatoxin in maize, deoxynivalenol in wheat, and patulin in apple that forecast contamination probability during the growing season for preemptive crop management decisions and harvest timing optimization. Enables grain and fruit producers to implement preventive mycotoxin management strategies based on predictive risk assessment during crop development rather than discovering mycotoxin contamination problems at harvest when crop management options are no longer available and contaminated crops must be diverted or destroyed.

Mycotoxin Decontamination Technology Development for Contaminated Grain Management
Development of physical sorting, ozone treatment, UV irradiation, and biological detoxification technologies for reducing mycotoxin contamination in grain and feed ingredients to regulatory compliance levels when primary contamination prevention has failed and contaminated grain requires remediation rather than destruction. Enables grain handlers and feed manufacturers to salvage partially contaminated grain that exceeds regulatory limits through validated decontamination processes that achieve acceptable mycotoxin reduction within approved regulatory frameworks for grain and feed mycotoxin remediation.

Supply Chain Mycotoxin Risk Management Platform for Food and Feed Manufacturers
Development of integrated supply chain mycotoxin risk management platforms that aggregate weather-based contamination risk, supplier testing data, and inventory tracking to quantify portfolio-level mycotoxin exposure risk and optimize procurement, testing, and blending strategies for food and feed manufacturers. Enables food and feed manufacturers to manage mycotoxin supply chain risk systematically rather than reactively discovering contamination problems when supplier test results arrive, using predictive risk intelligence to adjust procurement geography and test frequency before contamination events disrupt production operations.
