Expertise:
Dr. White has expertise on the use of nanotechnology in agriculture (nano-enabled agriculture), specifically, on the sustainable use of nanoscale micronutrients and other materials to suppress crop disease, increase tolerance to abiotic stress, and enhance food production. He also has expertise in the accumulation and toxicity of nanomaterials to crop species, as well as the fate and disposition of engineered nanomaterials in the environment. Dr. White has additional experience in the detection of pesticides, toxins, poisons and heavy metals for food safety and food defense. He also has expertise in the phytoremediation of persistent organic pollutants such as PFAS in soil, as well as more generally on the fate of organic contaminants in soils, sediments, and waters. His current program is supported by $5.1 million in competitive funding in these areas.

Past Research:
The focus was largely on nanotoxicology, which focuses on the fate and effects of engineered nanomaterials on biota, including plant, earthworm, and algal species. In addition, past work also focused on enhancing the biological and physical availability of organic pollutants that have become sequestered in soil, as well as the use of plants through phytoremediation to facilitate soil restoration.
Current Research:
Maintaining global food security will be among the most significant challenges we face as a species, with a changing climate and declining arable land further confounding our efforts. Our team is conducting investigations on the use of sustainable nanotechnology in agriculture as a means to increase productivity, including the use of nanoscale nutrients and other materials to suppress crop disease, and to increase tolerance to abiotic stress such as drought or salinity. For example, we have discovered that foliar nanoscale (less than 100 nanometers) nutrient amendments (copper, silicon, sulfur, others) to agricultural crops can be used as a strategy to uniquely stimulate plant defense and secondary metabolic pathways, including in physically distant root tissues. This crop defense strategy serves as a “vaccination” approach, with 2-3 mg amendments preparing the plant for defense against future pathogen attack. Importantly, this is a specific nanoscale effect, conventional forms of micronutrients are ineffective at stimulating this response. We have shown efficacy in crops such as soybean, wheat, rice, eggplant, tomato, and watermelon. We are investigating the use of nanomaterials to sustainably enhance photosynthesis so as to further increase food production. In addition, parallel work is being conducted on the fate and effects of nanomaterials (NM) in agriculture and on food crops. There are active investigations focusing on NM toxicity, accumulation, trophic transfer and food chain contamination.
