This $270,244 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports a research project conducted by South Dakota State University (SDSU) to improve heat tolerance in wheat. The key objectives are to: 1) Create novel variations in the Rubisco activase 2 (RCA2) gene to enhance thermostability, 2) Evaluate the impact of these mutations on photosynthetic efficiency and heat tolerance, and 3)...
The South Dakota State University was awarded a $378,631 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service to conduct research on breeding spring wheat for fusarium head blight resistance in South Dakota. The goal of the research is to develop spring wheat varieties with improved resistance to fusarium head blight, a fungal disease that reduces wheat yields and quality. This work directly supports the mission of the USDA Agricultural Research...
The South Dakota State University was awarded a $799,810 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The grant will fund research from March 1, 2023 to February 28, 2027 to balance seed dormancy in rice crops through genetic manipulation. Specifically, the university will model balancing selection for three genes (SD12A, SD12B, SD12C) associated with rice embryo dormancy....
This Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service provides $114,482 to South Dakota State University for research on Fusarium head blight (FHB) management in wheat in South Dakota. The award period is from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026. As the prime awardee, South Dakota State University will conduct research to develop and evaluate strategies for managing FHB, a fungal disease that reduces wheat yields and quality. This work supports the goals...
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Dakota State University a $371,333 Project Grant under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to conduct wheat breeding for enhanced Fusarium head blight resistance in North Dakota. The grant period is from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026 and will support research to develop wheat varieties with improved resistance to Fusarium head blight, a fungal disease that reduces wheat yields and...
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Dakota State University a $376,240 Project Grant under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to conduct research from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026. The university will breed durum wheat varieties with improved resistance to Fusarium head blight, also known as scab, under this funding. By developing wheat cultivars less susceptible to this fungal disease, the university aims to help...
This $585,414 Project Grant award was provided by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The award supports research at Oklahoma State University (OSU) to address key challenges in hard winter wheat production, including identifying disease resistance genes and developing high-throughput phenotyping capabilities to rapidly screen for barley yellow dwarf virus resistance. The project aims to map resistance...
This $294,000 federal Project Grant award to Kansas State University (KSU), under the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), supports a 3-year research project to advance the science of sustainable intensification of wheat production. The key objectives are to: (1) conduct a comprehensive literature review on sustainable intensification of major crops globally, (2) perform economic and life cycle assessments of...
South Dakota State University received a $759,272 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The university will develop an enhanced geospatial tool for near real-time monitoring of species-specific crop growth and condition using satellite data fusion techniques. Key products will include algorithms and computer codes to process and fuse satellite imagery from NASA's...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) supports research at South Dakota State University (SDSU) to increase nitrogen fixation in soybean plants. The goal is to develop soybean varieties that can meet nitrogen needs through enhanced biological nitrogen fixation in root nodules, reducing reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. The research project will: 1) evaluate...
