This $1.23 million Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) supports research under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program (CFDA 10.310). Funded from September 2022 through September 2026, the award to Indiana University will determine the roles of Fusarium effector proteases in plant pathogenesis. As part of this work, $1.23M will support Indiana University's research into how certain fungal proteins interact with and impact plants during infection. Additionally, a portion of funding in an unspecified amount will be subawarded to the USDA Agricultural Research Service Midwest Area to aid in this research effort focused on advancing understanding of plant-fungal interactions.
