- Michigan State University was awarded a $175,405 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The university will conduct research from June 2023 to May 2026 to deepen understanding of the mechanisms that enable common annual weed species to adapt to crop fields. The research will address the relative roles of evolution and plasticity in driving weed...
- This $560,288 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports research investigating how certain weedy plant species have adapted to thrive in agricultural environments. The research focuses on the plant genus Amaranthus, which includes some of the most problematic agricultural weeds in North America. The project aims to understand the biological mechanisms that allow these weedy plants to quickly adapt, in order to...
- This federal Project Grant award of $378,820 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund collaborative research to understand how certain weedy plant species, particularly in the genus Amaranthus, have rapidly adapted to thrive in agricultural environments. The project, led by the University of Illinois, will generate high-quality genomic data for the Amaranthus genus and conduct detailed population genomic studies on three focal weed species. The...
- The federal Project Grant award, funded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), is supporting research at Colorado State University to develop innovative methods to address herbicide resistance in problematic weeds. The $294,000 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, aims to produce research outcomes that can be applied to reverse herbicide resistance in weeds such as Palmer amaranth...
- This federal Project Grant award of $399,315 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is supporting collaborative research by Brigham Young University (BYU) to understand how certain weedy plant species have rapidly evolved to thrive in agricultural environments. The research focuses on the Amaranthus plant genus, which includes some of the most problematic agricultural weeds in North America. The project aims to investigate the biological mechanisms...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $300,000.00 and provided by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, aims to conduct greenhouse and laboratory research to evaluate the growth, developmental, and genetic basis of spring wheat response to multigenerational exposure to weed competition. The key objectives are to: (i) assess growth and developmental changes in wheat, (ii) evaluate hormonal...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) awarded a $650,000 project grant to Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division. The grant will fund the design and testing of a novel viral herbicide to selectively target and inhibit the growth of Palmer amaranth, an invasive weed that causes an estimated $33 billion in annual losses to U.S. agriculture. The project aims to develop a biocontainment system to restrict the virus's...
- This $299,916 federal Project Grant was awarded on July 1, 2024 by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program. The grant supports research by The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, to assess whether herbicide-resistant Italian ryegrass populations in the U.S. are genetically related or have evolved independently. The project will also identify the genes involved in herbicide resistance...
- This Project Grant award from the Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310 program, will support research to uncover the evolutionary mechanisms behind insect-induced plant galls. The total funding amount is $478,413.00, with a project period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. The research will focus on the galling system of cynipid wasps on live oaks, which allows for natural...
- This $200,000 federal Project Grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.329), focuses on improving weed management in agriculture through a multidisciplinary approach aligned with integrated pest management (IPM) principles. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include conducting field experiments to examine the impacts of diverse cropping systems,...
