- This $180,000 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The overall goal of this 3-year project is to identify genes related to vein initiation and spacing in the leaves of corn. To achieve this, the project will use three approaches: a genome-wide association study to associate vein density measurements with genetic variation,...
- 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 $299,616 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, CFDA 10.310, aims to develop a comprehensive life-cycle sustainability assessment framework to evaluate the environmental, economic, and societal impacts of plant-based food systems. The project, awarded to North Carolina State University, will provide guidance on the overall sustainability of plant-based foods and prioritize research efforts for further...
- This $648,764 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) aims to address key challenges facing the U.S. agricultural sector in the biotech crop era. The project will construct a comprehensive dataset on the seed market, productivity, innovation, pest infestation and resistance, weather and climate, and international trade, and then conduct advanced economic analysis to evaluate policy...
- This $659,749 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310), will support research to elucidate links between non-target-site herbicide resistance in waterhemp, a driver weed in the Midwest, and 10 years of longitudinal weed management practices across nearly 150 fields. The research will profile gene expression for each waterhemp population to inform how management practices...
- This $1,132,877 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture, under the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (CFDA 10.332), supports collaborative research to enhance predictive capabilities in crop and animal agriculture. The grant recipient, Iowa State University, is leading an effort to develop innovative tools that decode the genetic basis of key traits in major U.S. crops like maize, soybean, and sorghum, as well as in...
- This $650,000 project grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310 program, investigates the biosynthesis of valuable phenylpropene natural products found in plants like carrots, herbs, and spices. The research aims to unravel the genetic pathways for producing these phytochemicals, which have valuable properties as food ingredients, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals. Key outcomes will...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) aims to enhance agricultural productivity, sustainability, and resilience by increasing understanding of nitrogen fixation by soil microbes. The $849,135 award to Washington State University will fund three closely related research objectives: 1) Analyzing soil samples to survey the diversity and abundance of nitrogen-fixing enzymes and their relation to soil properties,...
- This $650,000 federal Project Grant award from the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) supports research to evaluate the benefits and trade-offs of crop rotational diversity as a climate adaptation strategy. The Agricultural Research Service, a U.S. government agency, will utilize a database of long-term cropping system experiments to quantify how increased rotation diversity impacts resilience to adverse weather, producer economic stability, and nutritional outputs....
- This $225,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program aims to uncover the role of non-coding DNA sequences in regulating agronomic traits, using the grass awn as a model. The research will focus on three key objectives: 1) Identifying putative regulatory DNA elements across grass genomes, 2) Associating variation in these conserved non-coding sequences with awn traits, and 3) Dissecting the function of...
