This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $600,000 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska aims to identify the antimicrobial molecules produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas protegens PBL3 and understand how they inhibit the growth of the plant pathogen Burkholderia glumae, which causes devastating bacterial panicle blight disease in rice. The project will employ multi-disciplinary approaches including genetics, comparative...
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 $300,000 Project Grant was awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program. The grant supports a research project led by the University of Utah to investigate the mechanisms that pathogenic plant bacteria employ to target and kill competing microbes on plants, while avoiding harm to their own species. The goal is to elucidate the molecular basis for the killing specificity of these bacterial weapons,...
This $639,875 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research at Texas A&M Agrilife Research to improve understanding of plant-microbe-insect interactions and their implications for sustainable pest management. Specifically, the grant will support identification of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) combinations that induce...
This $299,999 federal Project Grant award was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The objective is to identify highly potent antagonistic compounds and their inhibition mechanisms against Pythium ultimum, the causal agent of root rot in corn. The research aims to develop microbial consortia with potent inhibitory effects as a sustainable alternative to...
This Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) provides $682,232 to the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center (LSU AgCenter) from January 2022 through December 2025. The funding supports research under NIFA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program (CFDA 10.310). Specifically, the LSU AgCenter and sub-awardee Louisiana State University will conduct research to better understand...
This $514,102 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research at Texas Tech University investigating an alternative non-toxic solution for controlling plant-parasitic nematodes. The project focuses on naturally occurring bacteria found within nematodes that may drive their survival and impact on plants. It aims to generate the first coherent picture...
This $1,000,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA #10.310) will fund development of an adaptable framework called CAMRADES to connect antimicrobial resistance, agricultural decisions, and environmental systems. Iowa State University will integrate predictive models of antimicrobial transport and associated human health risk into the...
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...
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...
