Our latest research connection covers a project funded by a 2019 USDA-SCRI grant to investigate bacterial diseases that occur on pepper. The overarching goal of this project is ‘to reduce economic losses in pepper production caused by foliar bacterial pathogens and develop strategies to minimize losses from bacterial diseases on pepper’. The team members are identifying and characterizing the bacteria occurring on all types of pepper, developing detection assays, breeding for resistance, evaluating new materials for management, and evaluating the economics associated with management practices.
