This federal Project Grant award, valued at $299,296.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program. The grant aims to investigate methods for accelerating wound healing in russet potatoes at lower curing temperatures, with the goal of improving potato shelf-life and reducing storage losses. The key activities under this award include: 1) testing the effectiveness of...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $180,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Washington State University (WSU). The funding will support the development of models to predict the life stages of various potato pests and the impact of potential insecticide applications. WSU will collaborate with growers and extension agents to create tools that will assist producers in making...
This $650,000 award under the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) is funding a research project at the University of Nevada, Reno to investigate the genetic and signaling factors that regulate wound healing in potato crops. The project aims to generate potato germplasm with improved wound suberin deposition capacity, which is critical for extending potato tuber storage life and reducing post-harvest losses. By employing...
This $595,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture will fund research at Oregon State University from September 2021 through August 2025 under NIFA's Integrated Programs. The grant supports the development of plant-based natural products for organic potato storage and sprout control as alternatives to currently used sprout inhibitors. Specifically, the project will screen approximately 300 essential oils and fractions to identify...
This $999,656 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) aims to develop an integrated field-to-report system for rapid and effective plant disease diagnostics. The key products and services to be delivered include: Capacity building to equip a National Plant Diagnostic Network (NPDN) laboratory for high-throughput molecular virus testing of large volumes of potato tuber samples (Objective...
The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded Michigan State University a $749,998 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive federal grants program (CFDA 10.310). The three-year award, running from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026, will fund research to develop sustainable disease management approaches for Potato Early Die, a yield-reducing soil-borne disease of potatoes caused by the nematode Pratylenchus penetrans and fungus...
The Regents of the University of Idaho received a $298,928 Project Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program. The grant is funding research to engineer a potato gene that can resist degradation by a protein effector produced by the Potato Cyst Nematode (PCN), a major pest that causes up to 100% yield loss in potato crops. The two-year project aims to: 1) Engineer a potato pattern recognition...
This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Program, Grant No. 20246701242746, aims to develop a standard profile for potato carbohydrates and associated phytochemicals (PCAP) and determine their effect on gut health using a multi-omics approach. The $225,000 award to Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division will run from July 1, 2024 to June...
This federal Project Grant award of $300,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) program will support the development of light-responsive γ-PGA based hydrogels for controlled nematicide delivery to manage plant-parasitic nematodes and improve crop yields. Specifically, the grant will enable researchers at the University of Idaho to develop innovative, biodegradable hydrogel delivery systems that can precisely control the...
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded a $681,158 Project Grant to the University of Idaho under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program. The grant aims to develop potato varieties resistant to the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida, which causes up to 100% yield loss in potatoes. Over three years, researchers will investigate the molecular mechanisms by which G. pallida manipulates potato...
