This $180,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to identify and re-engineer genes involved in environmental stress tolerance in plants. The goal is to cultivate higher-yielding, climate-resilient crop varieties that can sustainably meet the food demands of a growing...
This $180,000 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 investigate the role of pseudouridine, a type of RNA modification, in plant abiotic stress response. The research will focus on identifying pseudouridine synthase candidate genes involved in abiotic stress adaptation and determine how pseudouridine depletion impacts molecular processes like alternative splicing and protein...
This $1,242,385 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at the University of Missouri System to coordinate plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. The research aims to understand how plants prioritize and integrate signals from diverse environmental stresses like low nutrient availability and bacterial pathogens. A team of researchers with expertise in iron nutrition, bacterial pathogen responses, cellular biology,...
This federal Project Grant award of $713,709 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports a study at North Dakota State University to validate the role of keystone microbial taxa in enhancing microbiome resilience to environmental stress. The research aims to 1) assess the impact of keystone taxa on microbiome connectivity, 2) employ bacteriophage to eliminate keystone taxa and evaluate the impact of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $701,884 to The Regents of the University of Colorado to develop a functional genomics tool kit for the filamentous cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme. The key products and services to be delivered include construction of a random barcode transposon-site sequencing library, generation of CRISPR tools for gene deletion and cargo DNA integration, and implementation of proximity...
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within the United States Department of Agriculture awarded $481,482 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program to Colorado State University from October 2021 through September 2026. The award will fund research examining how drought stress impacts hormone production and sensitivity in conifers, and how this relationship may underlie patterns of forest mortality across landscapes. Specifically, the...
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 $631,572.08 in funding to The Salk Institute for Biological Studies to conduct research aimed at understanding how plants select and interact with beneficial soil fungi to promote sustainable agricultural practices. The research will focus on characterizing the genetic basis for how plants discriminate between different...
This three-year Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund $608,676 to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research to investigate the impacts of nanomaterials on soil and water microbiomes and pathogen persistence in agrifood systems. The University will synthesize and characterize twenty types of monodisperse nanomaterials and study...
