- This $2,000,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Integrated Programs (CFDA 10.303) will support Clemson University's efforts to develop protein-enriched organic chickpea varieties for southeastern U.S. organic producers. The project aims to (1) develop protein-enhanced organic chickpea cultivars through participatory on-farm field trials, (2) combine genomic information and trait discovery to improve genotype-to-phenotype mapping, and (3) create...
- This $750,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research at the University of Tennessee focused on identifying major soybean resistance genes against soybean cyst nematode (SCN). SCN is the most yield-limiting pathogen of soybeans in the U.S., causing an estimated $1.5 billion in annual losses. The research aims to confirm the function of...
- This $180,000 Project Grant awarded by the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI CFDA 10.310) to Colorado State University (CSU) aims to address two key questions related to disease resistance genes in plants. The first objective is to determine the function of a class of disease resistance proteins that are abundant in dicot plant species (e.g. vegetables, fruits) but present as a single gene in many monocot genomes (e.g. cereals, grains). This will be...
- The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $590,542.68 Project Grant to the University of Georgia Research Foundation under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (CFDA 10.310). The four-year project aims to develop peanut varieties with enhanced pest and disease resistance by utilizing wild peanut relatives from South America as a source of valuable genetic traits. Researchers will analyze wild species to identify...
- This $649,847 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Biotechnology Risk Assessment Research Grants Program (CFDA 10.219). The grant funds research to understand how pests overcome plant resistance traits conferred by engineered genes, and develop a monitoring framework to improve the durability of transgenic crops. The research focuses on characterizing the role of gene copy number variants (CNVs) in...
