This Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) provides $499,965 to Cornell University under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program. The grant will support research from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026 to fine-map and identify candidate genes for two major apple scab resistance loci on linkage group 1 of the apple genome. Researchers will also assemble a high-quality genome of the...
The Ohio State University will receive $600,000 from the US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program to develop novel, naturally derived food colorants from May 2023 through April 2027. Specifically, the university will produce pyranoanthocyanins (PACNs), pigments derived from anthocyanins with improved stability, through the reaction of abundant anthocyanins with other commonly found...
The Ohio State University was awarded a $736,956 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA 10.310). The University will conduct research from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2027 to determine the direct, indirect, and interactive effects of commonly used broad-spectrum insecticides on pollinator foraging behavior, marketable crop yields, and commercial...
The Ohio State University received a $750,000 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program.
