Department Overview Foundation Plant Services (FPS, https://fps.ucdavis.edu/) is a large self-supporting service center in the Department of Plant Pathology of the College of Agricultural & Environmental Sciences whose primary function is to produce, maintain and distribute elite disease-tested plant propagation materials. Its core mission is to promote and improve the health of planting stock available for the commercial nursery industry for FPS crops. FPS operates the largest grape quarantine and clean stock program for grapevines in the United States. The center employs over 45 laboratory, greenhouse, research, field and administrative staff members housed in two facilities with associated laboratories, greenhouses, screenhouses, shade houses, field buildings, and approximately 140 acres of field plantings. Program expenses average approximately $7 million per year. The program is self-supporting with sources of income including Federal USDA-APHIS funding, State nursery assessment funds, grape user fees, sales of plant materials and contracts for importation, testing and virus therapy of FPS crops. Research is accomplished through extramurally funded projects related to the core FPS mission. FPS is dedicated to the distribution of disease-tested, professionally identified specialty crop plant materials produced by UC researchers, improved by technology developed by UC researchers, or valuable to California's agricultural community. These programs have played a key national and international role in distributing new crop varieties and healthy planting stocks. Currently, FPS is responsible for programs for grapes, strawberries, fruit trees, nut trees, roses, and sweet potatoes.
