This $4,125,422 federal Project Grant award was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Specialty Crop Research Initiative (CFDA 10.309) program. The grant aims to address critical challenges in the U.S. grape industry by developing tools and educational programming to help grape growers manage fungicide resistance and optimize disease control. Key activities include: Developing rapid early detection tools and improved pathogen...
This $500,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the 1890 Institution Capacity Building Grants program (CFDA 10.216) will fund research at Florida A&M University to identify genes regulating sugar accumulation in muscadine grapes. Muscadine grapes are native to the southeastern U.S. and valued for their nutraceutical properties, but their low sugar content and short shelf life limit commercial potential....
This three-year $500,000 project grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) 1890 Institution Capacity Building Grants program (CFDA #10.216) supports research at Florida A&M University to identify molecular mechanisms and metabolome architecture underlying root-hypoxia tolerance/resistance in muscadine grapes. The goal is to advance understanding of grapevine stress tolerance mechanisms to maintain crop productivity and sustainability in the...
This $760,000 Project Grant was awarded 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 overall goal is to grow precision engineering systems and technologies for near real-time monitoring of muscadine grape vineyards and water management. The project will pilot the FAMU Center for Viticulture and Small Fruit Research as a testbed to deploy these advanced engineering technologies,...
This $5,176,559 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Specialty Crop Research Initiative will enable genomics-assisted specialty crop breeding and research through advanced database resources. Over its four year period from September 2022 to September 2026, the grant will support the collection and curation of various types of genomics, genetics and breeding data from specialty crops into specialized genome databases for...
This Project Grant award of $432,274.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding the genomic and epigenomic mechanisms underlying phenotypic plasticity in grafted grapevines. The research aims to investigate how the genotype of clonally propagated grapevine rootstocks and scions interact with different environmental conditions to produce adapted phenotypes over time. The project will...
This federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $107,999 to Michigan State University for a 2-year research project focused on identifying genetic and environmental differences among cryptic species of the grapevine downy mildew pathogen, Plasmopara viticola. The key research objectives are to: 1) determine differences in gene expression among the P. viticola cryptic...
This Project Grant award of $792,175.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The goal of the project is to develop an integrated understanding of how the genome of clonally propagated perennial plants, specifically grapevines, produces "adapted" phenotypes over time and under different environmental conditions, and to identify the molecular basis of this phenotypic plasticity. The research will use an integrative...
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...
This Project Grant award of $606,030 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by The Pennsylvania State University to investigate the genomic and epigenomic basis of phenotypic plasticity in grafted grapevines. The goal is to develop an integrated understanding of how the genome of clonally propagated perennial plants, such as grapevines, produces adapted phenotypes in response to different environmental conditions...
