Research Project: **Location:
                            Application Technology Research** Project Number: 5082-21000-001-075-S
                        
                        Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement Start Date: Jul 26, 2023
                        
                        End Date: Jul 25, 2024 **Objective:**
                        
                        The scope of the project is to identify novel small peptides derived from plants or viruses that have anti-fungal properties. ARS and the cooperator will oversee and guide all aspects of this project. **Approach:**
                        
                        We will compare the antifungal activities of selected plant- and virus-derived molecules through transient over-expression in plants. We will establish the Bacillus subtilis secretory protein expression system for the expression and secretion of promising proteins as cell-free filtrates. We will then test the efficacy of bacterial cell-free filtrates containing the expressed proteins as sprays in the greenhouse to enhance resistance.
