- 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...
- 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 $729,268 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program will enable Montana State University to conduct research examining how high temperatures can impact the efficacy of herbicides and the resulting herbicide resistance in certain weed species. The project aims to build a scientific foundation for understanding the mechanisms behind this phenomenon, including quantifying the...
- The $180,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund a study examining how resistance to the herbicide glyphosate and insect herbivory may impact the evolution of the common morning glory, an agricultural weed. The principal investigator will conduct a field experiment and molecular biology research to identify the plant defense traits responsible for glyphosate and herbivory...
- This five-year, $500,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research into understanding how environmental factors and host genetics shape the composition and functional influence of microbial communities in Populus plants. Oregon State University will investigate seasonal variation in the drivers of endophyte community structure...
- This $299,322 Project Grant award to Auburn University was issued by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The objective is to determine the impact of antimicrobial use (AMU) in poultry production on microbial diversity, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, and horizontal gene transfer in the environment. The research will compare AMR levels and animal health outcomes between antimicrobial-free...
- This $294,000 Project Grant was awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The grant will fund research at North Carolina State University to develop RNA interference (RNAi) systems to control palmer amaranth, a highly problematic and herbicide-resistant weed in cotton production. The key objectives are to: 1) design RNAi tools to silence target genes in palmer amaranth, 2) characterize...
- 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 $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research to understand the mechanisms driving legume-rhizobia coexistence in cattle pastures across North Carolina.
