Fighting powdery scab, Tanaka leads a three-year project, funded by a new $490,000 grant from AFRI and matching funds from the consortium. Assisted by Gleason, he is developing a biodegradable vaccine that can be delivered to the rhizosphere—the web of soil and living organisms in and around a plant's roots. Building on Gleason's research into immunostimulants—special peptide compounds that spur a strong defense response in host plants—the two scientists will focus on a rod-shaped bacterium, or Bacillus, that colonizes the rhizosphere and secretes a compound that deters powdery scab. "We can use bacteria as a courier and defender to vaccinate the plant against both the protist and the virus," Tanaka says. "The bacteria occupies the space and changes the microbiome, so the pathogen can't take hold. At the same time, the plant is protected by immunization." Once perfected, this living defense could protect yields and keep fields in production, while helping farmers cut down on costly, often ineffective fungicides. In addition to below-ground defense, Tanaka and Gleason will study the above- ground effects of their immunostimulant on plant growth and development, using new high-throughput phenotyping technology at WSU. This advanced technique precisely monitors the effects of the defender bacteria on factors like photosynthesis and water-use efficiency in potato seedlings and other model plants. The scientists will explore whether their approach has positive effects on plant growth. SHUTTING THE DOOR ON A TINY WORM Targeting another pest, Gleason, also an assistant professor of plant pathology, leads a three-year, $450,000 grant project funded by AFRI, which launched in spring 2019. She is studying the molecular mechanisms of the Columbia root-knot nematode, a microscopic, parasitic worm that attacks plant roots and tubers. Nematodes secrete proteins into plant cells that trick their hosts into providing them with a safe feeding site and plentiful nutrients, starving the plant. Above ground, infected plants sport wilted, discolored leaves. When growers dig their potatoes, they discover lumpy, misshapen tubers. Once she identifies how plants respond to nematodes' chemical secretions, Gleason will have a starting point for new, gene-based defenses, such as new potato varieties that can resist the parasites. "I'm trying to unravel how it works and find a way to block it," says Gleason. "Stop the molecular mechanism, and the root-knot nematode can't create its feeding site. If it can't feed, it starves, and the plant thrives." Growers have long relied on chemicals to control nematodes. Similar to hers and Tanaka's scab project, Gleason's research helps give farmers a new, more sustainable tool for pest control. "We're trying to reduce reliance on chemicals using biological and genetic controls, preserving beneficial organisms while helping feed the world," says Gleason. "It's potentially a huge benefit for potatoes and other specialty crops, as well as for human and environmental health."
