- The University of Missouri System was awarded $750,000 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program by the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture to conduct research on plant immunity to pathogens from May 15, 2023 to May 14, 2026. The University will study the function of the front portion of the bacterial effector protein AvrRps4, which is recognized by plant immune receptors and triggers immunity in some plants....
- The University of Missouri System received a $749,985 Project Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA program on July 1, 2024. The grant aims to enhance broad-based resistance against soybean cyst nematodes (SCN), a major pest that causes over $1.5B in annual yield losses to soybean production in the U.S. Through integrated genomics and gene-editing research, the project will identify and develop novel...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $750,000 to the University of Missouri System from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research among multiple institutions to elucidate the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying nonhost resistance in plants. Nonhost resistance confers broad immunity to most plant species against pathogens that can infect other species. The research aims to...
- The University of Missouri System was awarded a $490,000 Project Grant from the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to conduct research aimed at developing waterlogging and cold-tolerant soybean varieties. The project, which runs from April 2024 to March 2027, will characterize the genetic diversity of 300 soybean varieties in response to waterlogging, cold, and their combination. The research will reveal the molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks underlying...
- This $748,123 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant awarded to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) aims to elucidate the genetic mechanisms and identify factors contributing to root-knot nematode outbreaks in resistant tomato plants. The project will use comparative genomics to investigate the fitness costs associated with resistance-breaking nematode populations, and develop rapid diagnostic tools to identify resistant...
