- This federal Project Grant award of $489,696 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The goal of the "Integrated Insect-Plant Research and Extension Experiences REEU" is to develop the next generation of scientists through a 10-week summer program that: 1) nurtures STEM career interest, 2) develops science communication skills, 3) provides...
- This Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) provides $682,500 to Texas A&M AgriLife Research to identify bacterial effectors from plant pathogens transmitted by psyllid insects, and evaluate their role in infecting plants and arthropod vectors. The goal is to develop new control strategies that disrupt pathogen transmission and plant infection. This original research will study the parallel...
- This Project Grant award of $849,999 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) supports research to understand how the plant immune system regulates assembly of the leaf microbiome and how the microbiome modulates plant health and resistance to pathogens, using rice and bacterial blight as a model system. Key objectives include identifying rice genes that influence leaf microbiome assembly during disease...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to investigate the role of above-and-belowground plant traits in driving invasions of non-native species and their impacts on native ecosystems. The $1,025,547 grant, awarded to William Marsh Rice University, will fund a 5-year research project (3/1/2025 - 2/28/2030) to: (1) identify plant traits that promote invasiveness under varying disturbance and...
