The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) awarded a $17,956.63 firm-fixed-price purchase order contract to the University of Wisconsin System to generate malting barley lines. The project involves transforming barley lines to either strongly express an Arabidopsis transcription factor (AtEIL3) or to knockdown expression of a barley kinase (HvMKK3). This contract has a performance period ending on July 11, 2025 and was not set aside for any socioeconomic category. The ARS is the funding agency for this research and development effort, which aligns with its mission to conduct agricultural research to support the U.S. farm industry.
