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...
This project grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310), provides $612,113 to Washington State University to develop and evaluate non-invasive, real-time sensing techniques to detect and manage post-harvest potato storage diseases. The key products and services to be delivered include: Objective 1: Develop and evaluate ion mobility spectrometry and optical sensing systems for...
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...
The federal Project Grant award of $760,506, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, supports the "FIGHTBLIGHT" research project. This initiative aims to develop new potato varieties with enhanced resistance to the devastating potato late blight disease caused by the pathogen Phytophthora infestans. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) bioengineer...
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...
This federal Project Grant award of $300,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) program will support the development of light-responsive γ-PGA based hydrogels for controlled nematicide delivery to manage plant-parasitic nematodes and improve crop yields. Specifically, the grant will enable researchers at the University of Idaho to develop innovative, biodegradable hydrogel delivery systems that can precisely control the...
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 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, valued at $180,000, supports research to investigate how soil microbial communities can suppress powdery scab disease in potato crops. The project aims to identify beneficial microbial communities associated with reduced incidence of powdery scab, a major threat to potato production and food security globally. Conducted by Oregon State University, the research will...
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...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative (CFDA 10.307) awarded a $1,999,277 Project Grant to Oregon State University to identify essential oil blends for suppressing premature potato tuber sprouting in storage and develop microencapsulation methods for delivering the optimal products. The 4-year project aims to: (1) discover and develop essential oil blends that effectively suppress potato sprouting; (2) microencapsulate the most effective blends...
