Martins’ Lab and collaborators are awarded a $3.5 million grant from the USDA SCRI program
In collaboration with researchers from Penn State University, Lehigh University, and University of Delaware the grant will support work on white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) health. Martins lab's research will focus on identifying the bacterial strains causing blotch on white button mushrooms as well as finding ways to sustainably manage the disease.
