Sudden Oak Death
Throughout California's coastal counties, tanoaks, coast live oaks
and black oaks are dying in large numbers. UC researchers have isolated
a previously unknown fungal species that they believe causes Sudden
Oak Death and are conducting far-ranging research to determine how
it can be stopped.
Pierce's Disease and
the Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter
UC is bringing its expertise and resources to bear on the threat
to California's vineyards and agriculture posed by the glassy-winged
sharpshooter. Learn
