- This $1,490,862 project grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Specialty Crop Research Initiative (CFDA 10.309), aims to develop and evaluate Huanglongbing (HLB) disease-tolerant citrus rootstocks and interstocks. The primary objectives are to: (1) establish and assess field trials of novel HLB-tolerant rootstocks and interstocks in California and Florida; (2) rapidly validate genetic factors underlying HLB...
- The University of California, Riverside received a $1,365,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) program. The project aims to develop non-transgenic, disease-resistant citrus varieties that can systemically express a heat-stable antimicrobial peptide (SAMP) to control citrus greening disease (Huanglongbing or HLB). The key objectives are to: 1) Introduce the SAMP gene...
- This $1,121,992.00 Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) project grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.309), aims to develop and evaluate two novel delivery systems for antimicrobial therapies to combat Huanglongbing (HLB) disease in the U.S. citrus industry. The lead awardee, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, will collaborate with researchers at the University of Florida, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, and the University of California, Riverside...
- This $4,115,736 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Specialty Crop Research Initiative (CFDA 10.309) program supports research and extension activities to address critical challenges for the citrus industry related to Huanglongbing (HLB) disease. The primary objectives are to: 1) rapidly select, assess and deliver new HLB-resistant/tolerant citrus cultivars (rootstocks and scions) for fresh...
- The University of California, Riverside received a $3,281,160 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) program on September 15, 2023. The purpose of the award is to generate novel citrus hybrids that are genetically resistant to Huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating citrus disease also known as citrus greening. The research aims to develop new citrus cultivars with HLB resistance and desirable fruit quality through...
- The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded the University of Florida $8,589,573 under the Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) federal grant program on September 15, 2022 for a project set to conclude on September 14, 2027. The project aims to develop, evaluate, and deliver citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) management approaches by targeting its nature as a pathogen-triggered immune disease. Key products and services include developing integrated horticultural approaches to...
- The University of Florida (UF), through its Division of Sponsored Research, has been awarded a $928,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) program (CFDA 10.309). The funding will support research to develop citrus varieties that are resistant or tolerant to Huanglongbing (HLB) or "citrus greening" disease, which poses a critical threat to the U.S. citrus industry. Specifically, the project aims to rapidly create...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) program provides $1,124,354 to the University of Florida to conduct research to mitigate the impacts of citrus greening (Huanglongbing or HLB) disease on the U.S. citrus industry. The research aims to create a portfolio of HLB resistance genes for transformation and gene editing approaches by identifying citrus proteins that...
