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, 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...
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...

The University of California, Davis received a $750,000 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) project grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The grant, awarded on September 15, 2024, supports a 3-year research project to characterize the population diversity and environmental persistence of Ralstonia plant pathogens that cause bacterial wilt disease in major American food crops like potato, tomato, banana, and peanut. The project will involve collecting and...
This $180,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) aims to advance the understanding of Clavibacter, a genus of gram-positive, xylem-colonizing bacteria that includes important plant pathogens. The project will identify and characterize a receptor for a Clavibacter-secreted effector, marking the discovery of the first plant receptor for a gram-positive bacterium. It will...
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 federal Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $137,036.00 and funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care program (CFDA 10.025), aims to better understand the scope and pathogenesis of viroids in potato and litchi tomato. The key activities include determining the pathogenesis and time-course of tomato chlorotic dwarf viroid (TCDVD) and potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVD)...
This federal Project Grant award of $740,000 from the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports the development of a dynamic in-field phenotyping system to monitor disease-related traits in tomato plants across multiple scales and environments. The goal is to expedite genomic research and improve disease-management strategies for crop production. The project will be conducted by North Carolina State University, a prominent USDA contractor and grantee, over a...
