SBIR Phase I: A protein-based biofungicide for agricultural use
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2010 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
NSF
Principal Investigator:
Ryan W. Shepherd, PhD
Award Amount:
$150,000.00
Abstract:
This SBIR Phase I project will develop a plan to use a protein normally produced in plants, to control phytopathogenic fungi. They have cloned a gene that encodes for this protein, expressed it in bacterial vectors, demonstrated activity against three phytopathogenic fungi, demonstrated activity on… More
SBIR Phase I: Targeted Production of Spider Silk Fibroins in Plant Trichomes
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2011 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
NSF
Principal Investigator:
Ryan W. Shepherd
Award Amount:
$150,000.00
Abstract:
This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will investigate the feasibility of producing spider silk fibroins in plant trichomes. Synthetic spider silk has great potential as an environmentally-friendly biomaterial because it is very flexible yet has a tensile strength greater than… More
