FAMU’s VITICULTURE & sMALL FRUIT REsEARCH CENTER

The ReSearcher | THE HARVEST EDITION | 2011 1

GRAPE GENETICS AND BREEDINGThe development of new and improved grape cultivars is critical for the continuous growth of Florida’s grape and wine industry. This unit conducts research using both classical breeding and biotech approaches to develop new cultivars, including seedless muscadines which present a great biotechnological challenge. The Center maintains the largest collection of muscadine and bunch grape (Florida hybrids) germplasm to support its breeding program. Several thousand hybrids are produced each year and evaluated in the vineyard. More recently, FAMU released its fresh fruit muscadine cultivar, “Majesty” from this program (aforementioned). IMPORTANT RELATED NOTE: The period from pollination to selection and release of a new grape cultivar can vary from 10-15 years using the classical breeding technique. In an effort to shorten the period, researchers are using biotechnology and functional genomics to identify genetic markers to determine the presence or absence of desirable characteristics in the plant at an early age. Genomic information is available from the Center’s database: www.vitagene.com <file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\os.lamar\My%20Documents\Viticulture%20Sciences\www.vitagene.com> . This research team is led by one of FAMU’s 2011 Researcher of the Year Award recipients, Jiang Lu, Ph.D., (Research Excellence Award category).

GRAPE BIOTECHNOLOGY AND PROTEOMICSThis unit conducts biochemical and molecular

research to identify genetic markers that will help in the development of disease tolerant bunch grapes for Florida’s growers. Researchers are working on isolating and characterizing the transcripts of proteins from xylem and leaves, and genetics markers relating to disease tolerance, water-stress, ripening, and nutraceutical characteristics of muscadines and Florida bunch grapes.Led by Mehboob Sheikh, Ph.D., this research team has identified and isolated several defense genes that produced important phytochemical (antioxidant) compounds unique only to muscadine grapes and are finding ways to apply this knowledge to develop improved cultivars.

VINEYARD AND SMALL FRUIT FIELD MANAGEMENTBobby R. Phills, Ph.D., Director, Small Fruit Research and Outreach Program at the Center, leads a team of dedicated staff largely responsible for the physical upkeep of all field research and extension/outreach program activities. This unit is headed by a Farm Manager and provides technical support to scientists and graduate students in the establishment and upkeep of their research and extension plots. Their technical support service is critical to the successful data collection, irrigation, pruning and general beautification of the entire Center. Additionally, the Farm Crew plays a very important and strategic role in preparing the field research and demonstration plots for public tours, field days, workshops, and festivals.

STUDENT TRAINING & DEVELOPMENTGraduate student training is considered an integral component of the viticulture research and extension program that has made significant contributions to the teaching program in the FAMU College of Agriculture. Graduate students can work and do their research n any of the program areas or units in the Center under the supervision of a major professor (Program Leader) or supervisor. All graduate students have the opportunity to attend and present papers at professional meetings annually.

ABOUT THE CENTER: The FAMU Center for Viticulture and Small Fruit Re-

search (CVSFR) in the now-named FAMU College of Agriculture (formerly CESTA), was established by the Florida legislature in 1978 in accordance with Senate Bill No. 898 identified as the “Florida Viticulture Policy Act” to provide leadership, undertake research, exten-sion and development activities that will contribute to industry growth and development. The mission of the Center for Viticultural Sciences and Small Fruit Re-search is to conduct research and provide service and support that will help the viticulture industry in Florida to become a viable industry (Florida Viticulture Policy Act, 1978). During the last 10 years, the Center’s fac-ulty and staff have published more than 100 publica-tions, received more than $7.5 million in grant funding and graduated more than 25 graduate students at the master’s level. Call (850) 599-3996 for more informa-tion. DoR

Research at the FAMU Center for Viticulture and Small Fruit Research (CVSFR) within the College of Agriculture (C-Ag, formerly CESTA/College of Engineering Sciences, Technology and Agriculture) has used small fruit evaluation and improvement methods to enhance its research and training opportunities. An invitation from the Center allowed Professor and Acting Vice President for Research, K. Ken Redda, Ph.D., to experience an overview of the facility recently. “We felt the visit was very successful and we could observe closely the outstanding and innovative research activities that take place at this important site every day. The visit only confirmed what my staff and I already know that ‘state-of-the-art’ research activities are going on regularly in their laboratories, vineyards and small fruit fields,” stated Redda.

Florida A&M University (FAMU) has been awarded a research grant totaling nearly $15 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to meet the agency’s workforce needs in the STEM areas — science, technology, mathematics and engineering. This is the largest single grant awarded in the history of the University.“One of the highest criteria used to determine the

quality of a university is the amount of research tak-ing place by faculty and the funding obtained for them to conduct research on a regular basis,” said FAMU President James H. Ammons. “This announcement proves that Florida A&M University meets that stan-dard of excellence.” With 30 percent of the grant designated for scholarships, FAMU will partner with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Delaware

State University, Jackson State University, University of Texas at Brownsville, and Creighton University as well as three National Estuarine Research Reserves, the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, the Gulf of Mexico Alliance, and the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System. The grant will pro-vide funds to support students as they pursue their research interest in environmental science from K-12 to the doctorate. “Our efforts will focus on under-represented minorities utilizing research as a vehicle to train students to develop skills relevant to the new economy,” said Michael Abazinge, Professor and Interim Dean of the School of the Environment who also serves as the principal investigator for the proj-ect. “The magnitude of this environmentally-focused research and training award is critical to our region,

nation and to the world, as this era of eco-friendly best practices governs us all in every area of our exis-tence,” said K. Ken Redda, Professor and Acting Vice President for Research.

The Enviromental Cooperative Science Center was established in 2001 at FAMU through a competitively awarded cooperative agreement and a new five-year award was made to the team led by FAMU in 2006. Through these grants, this center has increased the number of scientists, particularly from under-repre-sented minority groups in the environmental, coastal, and oceanic sciences. Of the 180 plus postsecondary student participants, the ECSC graduated 19 Ph.D. degree recipients, 41 master’s degree holders, and 56 bachelor’s degree recipients. Graduates of ECSC and the FAMU School of the Environment have a 100% placement rate. Eight are working as employees of NOAA, while others are employed by state or other governmental employees or as researchers in aca-demic settings.

“We’re committed to problem-solving and we wel-come our undergraduate majors and graduate stu-dents from varied disciplines, including biology, chem-istry, physics, math and other STEM areas to develop skills needed to address and resolve environmental issues,” said Charles H. Jagoe, Distinguished Profes-sor in the School of the Environment.

This grant will also provide educational opportuni-ties for students and teachers in the local K-12 school districts through summer workshops, brain bowl competitions and others enrichment activities. K-12 student participants will learn how environmental deci-sions impact the social and economic structure of their communities. The grant awarded to the School of the Environment is budgeted over the next five years, ending in June 30, 2016. http://www.famu.edu/index.cfm?environmentalscience DoR

‘THEY KNEW WHO WE WERE BY THE TIME WE LEFT THE COMPETITION’

Florida A&M University, Division of Research— For two grueling weeks in June, three graduate students in the FAMU College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceuti-cal Sciences (COPPS) participated in the Emerging Minority Business Leaders (EMBL) Summer Institute at West Liberty University in Wheeling, West Virginia. The program, now in its 15th year, seeks to develop and empower students from a wide variety of back-grounds to become the next generation of entrepre-neurs and technology leaders for the advancement of American society.

The institute is sponsored by the United States De-partment of Commerce. The students first learned about the program when Tyrone Taylor, an administra-tor for the initiative and ex-NASA employee, came to Florida A&M University in the spring of this year and made a presentation. Green, Aguilar and Duverna were three of only 20 students who bothered to attend the lecture. Today, they are pleased that they did.

“The EMBL competition strengthened what we were learning in the Intellectual Property class,” said Ran-dolph Duverna. “It gave me an opportunity to learn more about business and helped me to be more marketable.” The Intellectual Property course at FAMU is taught by Attorney Tanaga Boozer who is also Director of FAMU’s Office of Technology Transfer, Licensing and Commercialization. The course and the office help expose minority science students to non-traditional careers in patent law, technology transfer

and business development.According to the three FAMU Pharmacy students

who participated in the EMBL initiative, the test of en-durance, focus, and stamina began almost immedi-ately upon arrival at West Liberty University.

“We were assigned to a tiny dorm room space that wesharedwitharoommateandnoairconditioning!” says Byron Aguilar, a fifth-year graduate student with a 3.6 GPA. “But it really didn’t matter, because we were only in our rooms long enough to get a few hours of sleep.” Aguilar said their days began with classes at 8 a.m. that ended at 5 p.m., and evenings were spent doing homework, working on the business plan, and prepar-ing their presentations.

Students from HBCUs and Minority Institutions around the country, from all academic backgrounds, and across a wide age range (19-50) participated in the EMBL program. Students were placed on teams of six (none of the FAMU students were on the same team) and expected to work together to meet the de-mands of the program. The two-week cur-riculum included lectures, quizzes, a midterm, and construction of a business plan as the final exam. Business plans were scored on a scale from 1 to 5 with each team earning a final grade on their plan. Aguilar and Duverna’s teams each earned a ‘B’ on the business plan, but Jennifer Green’s team earned an ‘A’.

Says Green, “When you’re given something to do

and you have to do it from the ground up, it requires discipline to get the work done.” Green went on to say that in FAMU’s College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceu-tical Sciences they are trained to think critically and re-quired to maintain discipline; two qualities that served her well on her team and allowed her to merge as the team’s leader.

But it was Randolph Duverna’s team that ultimately won the $5,000 prize for making the best pitch pre-sentation for technology commercialization of their company. Each team was given a patent and a task to either develop an alternative use for the patent or market the patent as is and transfer the technology so as to make a profit. The teams had to take the technol-ogy from the patent and develop a business around it.

“My team was assigned a good technology,” says Duverna. “We developed a business plan and profit-able technology transfer around a device that protects your hands when handling needles in the medical in-dustry.” Duverna said he and his team had to answer the judges’ questions and convey the technology in the presentation. Perhaps he summed up the experi-ence best. “This program helped me think outside the box and consider what my next venture will be and how I will execute it.” Says Duverna, “If they didn’t know about FAMU when we got there, they knew who we were by the time we left the competition.” DoR

Moses T. Kairo, Ph.D., Professor, Principal Investiga-tor and Director, FAMU Center for Biological Control (CBC) was accepted for the Fall 2011 Food Systems Leadership Institute (FSLI), an executive leadership development program for academia, industry, and government. The FSLI enhances personal and pro-fessional development by emphasizing leadership competencies, skills for organizational change, and a broad, interdisciplinary perspective of food systems. The FSLI experience prepares scholars for upper-level leadership roles in food system programs, and to as-sume broader leadership responsibilities within their organizations.

Of his experience, Dr. Kairo noted: “Food is central to our very existence, and the development and imple-mentation of sustainable food systems remains a top priority, amidst growing system complexity and many existing or emerging challenges. The Food System Leadership Institute has provided me with a unique opportunity to not only expand my knowledge and per-spectives, but also to grow and enhance my personal leadership skills which I have no doubt will allow me, to be more effective in doing my job in support of de-livering on FAMU’s multifunctional role as a land grant institution.”

During the FSLI program, scholars work with expert instructors, leadership development coaches, and an upper level mentor to help increase their leadership

abilities. They meet with leaders of universities, politi-cal leaders, industry leaders and others who have ad-vanced to the highest levels of leadership. Leadership theory is combined with practical experience, often in the context of food systems and higher education.

The FSLI is a two year program. Year one includes intensive executive education-style residential learn-ing sessions at three university locations. Scholars perform assessments to increase their self awareness of their leadership style, and the results are used to develop and implement a personal development plan, prepared with the assistance of a professional coach. Interactive distance learning is used between residen-tial sessions. During the second year participants ap-ply what they have learned, to develop and carry out an individual leadership project. Additional information is available at www.fsli.org.

FSLI is dedicated to advancing and strengthening food systems by preparing a set of new leaders with the skills and knowledge necessary to invent and re-invent the food systems of the future. It is a program of the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (A-P-L-U), with the initial funding provided by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. North Carolina State University is the host site with The Ohio State University and Cali-fornia Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo being residential sites responsible for implementation of the program.

Li-An Yeh, Ph.D., Professor of Pharmaceutical Sci-ences and Director, Biomanufacturing Research In-stitute and Technology Enterprise (BRITE) at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) spoke at FAMU recently. Sharing opportunity for collaboration in Drug Discovery Research at BRITE/NCCU, Dr. Yeh’s semi-nar was a case study: “Alleviating Cancer Drug Toxic-ity by Inhibiting a Bacterial Enzyme.”

Dr. Yeh’s presentation abstract: “BRITE at North Carolina Central University has built a strong drug dis-covery team since 2006. The Golden LEAF Founda-tion has provided $20.1 million to build a new facility with 21,000 square feet of classroom and office space, as well as 31,000 square feet of laboratory space for faculty and students to conduct applied research in areas related to biomanufacturing and biotechnology. The new facility is equipped with a $6.5 million state-of-the-art laboratory equipment for research and train-ing students. Currently, this program is supported by funding from the State of North Carolina with 200 un-dergraduate students and 50 graduate students cur-rently enrolled in its academic programs. The BRITE program established two major research areas, drug

discovery and drug biomanufacturing. BRITE has five core facilities for research collaboration: drug discov-ery core, protein expression core, large scale protein purification core, Imaging core, technology core (flow cytometry, NMR, confocal and atomic force micros-copy). Most of the faculty and staff at BRITE were re-cruited from the pharmaceutical industry. In drug dis-covery, faculty and staff have competency in research related to target validation, assay development, high throughput screening, medicinal chemistry, structure activity relationship (SAR) and molecular modeling (QSAR and virtual screen).”

While at FAMU, Dr. Yeh also met with pharmacy administrators, RCMI Core Leaders/Researchers and faculty participants, along with RCMI faculty and graduate students. K. Ken Redda, Ph.D., (pictured far right with Dr. Yeh), Professor and Acting Vice Presi-dent for Research, noted that FAMU President, James H.
