- 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 $180,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) aims to advance the understanding of Clavibacter, a genus of gram-positive, xylem-colonizing bacteria that includes important plant pathogens. The project will identify and characterize a receptor for a Clavibacter-secreted effector, marking the discovery of the first plant receptor for a gram-positive bacterium. It will...
- This $1,145,609 Project Grant, awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program, supports research into the mechanism and manipulation of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors in plants. The project, led by Texas A&M AgriLife Research, aims to investigate how the potato NLR protein RB interacts with pathogen effector proteins and plant immune signaling components, and how some pathogen strains...
- This $600,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI program, CFDA 10.310) aims to identify the specific antimicrobial molecules produced by the beneficial bacterium Pseudomonas protegens PBL3 and understand how they inhibit the growth of a pathogenic bacterium that causes a devastating disease in rice crops. The goal is to develop biologically-based solutions to control crop diseases and reduce losses, thereby alleviating...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $225,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) to North Carolina State University to investigate disease resistance in populations of maize landraces and teosinte, the wild relative of maize. The project aims to describe genetic variation for disease resistance, perform genome-wide association analysis to identify resistance alleles, measure resistance components, and analyze the...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310), focuses on understanding how the diversity and evolution of the CSP22 receptor affects plant immune responses. The $225,000 award, with a performance period from Aug 1, 2025 to Jul 31, 2027, aims to address key questions on how multicopy ligands impact receptor diversification, compare core receptor diversity...
- This Project Grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), will support research aimed at understanding plant immune recognition and response to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. The $958,480 award to the University of California, Berkeley, will fund a 3-year project to investigate how wild tomato plants recognize the pathogen's needle-like syringe, which is used to inject effector proteins that...
- This federal Project Grant award of $225,000 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The funding will support research at North Carolina State University to investigate how the genetic makeup of maize and its wild relatives like teosinte and sorghum influences their microbiomes and ability to adapt to environmental stresses like heat and nutrient...
- This $180,000 Project Grant awarded by the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI CFDA 10.310) to Colorado State University (CSU) aims to address two key questions related to disease resistance genes in plants. The first objective is to determine the function of a class of disease resistance proteins that are abundant in dicot plant species (e.g. vegetables, fruits) but present as a single gene in many monocot genomes (e.g. cereals, grains). This will be...
- This $180,000 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to understand how the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum survives in water. The University of California, Davis is conducting high-throughput genetic screening to identify the genes that enable this pathogen to persist in aquatic environments, with the goal of developing new management strategies to...
