This $119,898 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will support a 2-year research project at Oregon State University to investigate how foliar endophytic fungi (FEF) can provide drought stress tolerance for two tree species native to the Pacific Northwest, Douglas-fir and black cottonwood. The research aims to determine the extent to which these microbial symbionts can facilitate the...
The Project Grant award provides $682,500 to Oregon State University (OSU) from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The funding supports research to characterize the susceptibility of Douglas-fir and western hemlock trees to the invasive plant pathogen Phytophthora pluvialis, use phylogenetic analysis to understand pathogen populations, and develop a CRISPR-based detection assay. This work...
Oregon State University was awarded a $220,200 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The grant aims to develop genomic resources to investigate how the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora pluvialis can adapt to new tree hosts in Pacific Northwest forests. Specific objectives include generating a high-quality reference genome for P. pluvialis, testing if...
