CULTIVAR DEVELOPMENT: ACCELERATED INTROGRESSION OF SYNTHETIC HEXAPLOID DERIVED DIVERSITY INTO AN APPLIED HARD WINTER WHEAT BREEDING PROGRAM

Objective

The overall goal of this proposal is to develop a photo-responsive, antimicrobial packaging film using dye-sensitized TiO2 bio-composites to improve food quality and safety.Objective 1: Create a photocatalytic dye-TiO2 conjugate system for efficient ROS generation under visible light.Objective 2: Design, fabricate, and characterize the physical, mechanical, and antimicrobial properties of the dye-TiO2 incorporated biopolymer film.Objective 3: Determine the film's effectiveness in inactivating bacteria and preserving food quality in a food matrix.
