A person in blue gloves uses laboratory equipment to handle a pink substance in a petri dish. The text on the image reads: "Understanding 'Heart Attack' Plant Bacteria" with the logo "UC Davis Delivers" at the bottom.
Text on a textured blue background. It reads: "The slippery, goopy bacteria known as Ralstonia plays a key role in wilting tomatoes, potatoes and other crops. UC Davis researchers uncovered how this pathogen causes heart attacks in plants, and this understanding will help biologists protect our food systems." The UC Davis Delivers logo is at the bottom right, with "Delivers" in yellow.
The image contains text stating that the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Science Foundation, and Academic Senate at UC Davis supported the research. The "UC Davis Delivers" logo is at the bottom right against a blue textured background.

Prof. Luca Comai studies plate genomes to help crops grow better, faster and stronger. His federally funded research looks at how plants like potatoes, grapes and fruit trees change over time, especially plants grown from cuttings instead of seeds. Learn more: ucdav.is/FLTL. #FromLabsToLives
Researchers in a greenhouse examine tall plants. The text reads "Paving the Way for Green Jet Fuel" with the UC Davis Delivers logo.
Text description on a textured blue background: "A microscopic gene in poplar trees could hold the key to manufacturing eco-conscious jet fuel and possibly increasing crop yields. UC Davis is studying this so-called 'booster gene' that turbo-charges photosynthesis, increasing tree height by more than 200% and creating a stable source of plant-based biofuel." In the bottom right corner, the text "UC Davis Delivers" is displayed.
The image contains a textured blue background with white text mentioning research support from the Department of Energy's Center for Bioenergy Innovation and Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation. The UC Davis Delivers logo is visible in the bottom right corner.
