Brief Project Summary:

We propose to develop and deploy defense peptides that inhibit infection by Pythium and subsequent development of seed rot and seedling damping-off. Protection of seed and seedlings that produce peptides should enhance stand establishment and reduce the need for fungicide treatment of seed.
