Objective
Apply newly developed plant defense technologies to the protection of wheat from scab caused by Fusarium species. Technologies include, methods for selection of peptides that bind to and disrupt the development of infective structures of invasive pathogens, and means of delivering disruptive peptides in transgenic plants via fusion to a scaffold protein.
