Mark Lundy develops tools for farmers for effective nitrogen fertilizer management, working at the interface of research and the ag community.
Barbara Blanco-Ulate studies how fruit and vegetables ripen to improve their quality, nutrition and shelf-life after harvest.
Amelie Gaudin develops sustainable and resilient agroecosystems that have biodiversity and ecosystem services as a basis for improvement.
Brad Hanson works with farmers to control weeds and pests in perennial crops, improving both farm profits and the environment.
Bruce Linquist works with the farmers of California to ensure long-term sustainability of rice by looking at nutrient use, water efficiency and reducing pollution.
Giulia Marino empowers farmers to keep their orchards producing despite changes in climate, water and soil.
Grey Monroe seeks the causes and consequences of mutation bias in plant genetics and applies these findings to improve crops’ ability to thrive amid climate stress.

Li Tian uses biochemistry, physiology and genetics to increase the nutrition of wheat and pomegranates.
Scientists at UC Davis have developed a new genetic tool that makes it easier to breed wheat and triticale to grow more efficiently and to be better adapted to different environments. This new tool is pushing a second Green Revolution, as it bypasses some of the complications left from the first one.
Central Valley pistachio farmer and industry leader Rod Stiefvater is donating more than $335,000 to develop new rootstocks that will thrive under changing climate conditions.
The University of California, Davis, is continuing to build on its track record of creating an inclusive environment for faculty. Earlier this month, the university was recognized with the highest award available for that work from the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
