A UC Riverside professor was awarded $100,000 in Grand Challenges Explorations grant money from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to research methods of identifying diseased corn in Third World countries. The professor plans to create a “biotic stress sensor printed on maize leaves.” The research team will be looking at low-cost methods of placing sensors on corn leaves that will detect bacteria, fungi, insects, viruses, and other threatening influences.
