The federal Project Grant award of federal grant awards: This federal Project Grant award, funded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), supports research by Cornell University to study the role of adenine methylation in the fungus Rhizopus microsporus and its bacterial endosymbiont Mycetohabitans. The $180,000 award aims to: 1) develop an in vitro screening strategy to identify small...
This $3,996,373 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Specialty Crop Research Initiative (CFDA 10.309) aims to create resilient integrated pest management (IPM) programs for eastern tree fruit enterprises. The award recipient, the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Northeast Area, will lead a transdisciplinary team of researchers and extension specialists in entomology, horticulture, economics, and social...
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 $850,000 to Cornell University to conduct research on how plant facilitation of rhizosphere microbes promotes plant nutrient acquisition from soil organic matter. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate plant capacity to promote proliferation and induction of phenolic acid bacteria, 2) determine the distribution of...
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 $500,000 project grant 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), will support research to gain insights into differential host susceptibility to infection by fungal pathogens. The project will utilize wild host models to provide greater predictive potential on emerging infectious diseases of crop plants. Key research activities include sophisticated microscopic analysis of...
This $450,312 federal project grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will support Cornell University's efforts to develop new, highly downy mildew resistant cucumber cultivars. The project aims to quantify the yield and disease resistance performance of these new cucumber varieties through field trials under conventional and organic conditions, and to facilitate the adoption of these...
This $180,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) will support research at The Pennsylvania State University to investigate plant host resistance against the invasive swede midge pest in cole crops such as broccoli and cabbage. The key objectives are to: (1) identify differences in defense mechanisms between broccoli cultivars, (2) assess resistance/susceptibility across...
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...
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...
This federal Project Grant award of $180,000.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI CFDA 10.310) aims to improve understanding of how microbes in the rhizosphere (the soil around plant roots) affect plant and soil health. The key objectives are to: (1) characterize the chemical environment of the rhizosphere microbiome, (2) determine the role of microbial secondary metabolites on the growth and persistence of rhizosphere microbes, and (3)...
