The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded Michigan State University a $749,998 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive federal grants program (CFDA 10.310). The three-year award, running from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026, will fund research to develop sustainable disease management approaches for Potato Early Die, a yield-reducing soil-borne disease of potatoes caused by the nematode Pratylenchus penetrans and fungus...
This $595,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture will fund research at Oregon State University from September 2021 through August 2025 under NIFA's Integrated Programs. The grant supports the development of plant-based natural products for organic potato storage and sprout control as alternatives to currently used sprout inhibitors. Specifically, the project will screen approximately 300 essential oils and fractions to identify...
This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Program, Grant No. 20246701242746, aims to develop a standard profile for potato carbohydrates and associated phytochemicals (PCAP) and determine their effect on gut health using a multi-omics approach. The $225,000 award to Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division will run from July 1, 2024 to June...
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded a $681,158 Project Grant to the University of Idaho under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program. The grant aims to develop potato varieties resistant to the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida, which causes up to 100% yield loss in potatoes. Over three years, researchers will investigate the molecular mechanisms by which G. pallida manipulates potato...
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 University of California, Davis has been awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to conduct research on how microbial warfare leads to the ecological success of plant pathogens. This 5-year "IGNITE Career Project" will shed light on devastating wilt diseases that impact major food crops like potato, tomato, banana, and peanut. The project leverages innovative computational and synthetic...
The Regents of the University of Idaho received a $298,928 Project Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program. The grant is funding research to engineer a potato gene that can resist degradation by a protein effector produced by the Potato Cyst Nematode (PCN), a major pest that causes up to 100% yield loss in potato crops. The two-year project aims to: 1) Engineer a potato pattern recognition...
This $5,953,802 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) program funds a multi-institutional effort led by New Mexico State University to develop an integrated, system-based approach to significantly reduce the risk of Phytophthora blight in vegetable crops like peppers and cucurbits. The project aims to: 1) evaluate genetic diversity of the causal agent Phytophthora capsici, 2) identify resistant crop genotypes tolerant to...
The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $850,000 project grant to The Pennsylvania State University under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program (AFRI, CFDA No. 10.310). The four-year project seeks to develop a whole microbial community-based approach to manage common foliar bacterial diseases affecting tomato crops. Specifically, the research will test whether suppressive microbial communities can be cultivated for...
This $650,000 award under the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) is funding a research project at the University of Nevada, Reno to investigate the genetic and signaling factors that regulate wound healing in potato crops. The project aims to generate potato germplasm with improved wound suberin deposition capacity, which is critical for extending potato tuber storage life and reducing post-harvest losses. By employing...
