Nanopore Metagenomic Sequencing Platform for Unknown Plant Pathogen Discovery
Development of Oxford Nanopore-based metagenomic sequencing platforms for rapid identification of unknown plant pathogens in diseased plant tissue samples without prior knowledge of the causative organism, enabling novel pathogen characterization within 24-48 hours of sample receipt. Addresses the diagnostic gap for novel or unexpected plant diseases where conventional PCR-based diagnostics require known target sequences and culture-based methods may fail for fastidious or unculturable pathogens that metagenomics can identify from total nucleic acid content of infected plant tissue.

Population Genomics Platform for Crop Pathogen Race and Genotype Surveillance
Development of whole-genome SNP typing and population genomic analysis platforms for monitoring the race composition, virulence gene frequency, and geographic distribution of major crop pathogen populations including wheat rust, late blight, and powdery mildew for resistance gene deployment management. Enables national and international plant disease surveillance programs to monitor pathogen population genetic changes that signal virulence evolution against deployed resistance genes, providing early warning of resistance breakdown before field-scale epidemics confirm the emergence of new pathogen races that defeat deployed varietal resistance.

Environmental DNA Surveillance Platform for Soilborne Pathogen Monitoring
Development of eDNA-based soil pathogen surveillance platforms that quantify soilborne pathogen populations including Phytophthora, Pythium, and Fusarium species from soil samples using qPCR and digital PCR assays for pre-planting disease risk assessment and crop rotation decision support. Enables commercial growers and consultants to make informed crop rotation and fungicide seed treatment decisions based on quantified soilborne pathogen populations that predict disease risk in upcoming crops, replacing the symptom-based reactive disease management that follows crop establishment failure with proactive risk-based decisions before planting.

Wastewater-Based Plant Disease Epidemiology Platform for Regional Surveillance
Development of wastewater epidemiology applications for plant disease surveillance that detect crop pathogen genetic material in agricultural irrigation drainage and catchment water to provide regional disease burden signals from sentinel pathogen monitoring at water collection points. Enables cost-effective regional plant disease surveillance through wastewater monitoring approaches that sample pathogen material from large agricultural catchment areas through single collection points, providing epidemiological signals about disease distribution and intensity that complement direct crop monitoring programs.
