The award will support research, education, and extension projects at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) that address critical challenges in plant and animal health, food safety, nutrition, bioenergy, natural resources, agricultural systems, and rural...
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 Project Grant award, valued at $249,531, was provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) under the Equipment Grants Program (CFDA 10.519). The objective of this 4-year project is to acquire a specialized laboratory instrument that uses laser and mass spectrometry technology to rapidly and accurately identify bacterial species associated with mastitis and antibiotic resistance in dairy cattle and small ruminants....
The University of California, Davis has been awarded a $225,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) grant program. The funding will support research to investigate target genes that contribute to the growth of pathogenic bacteria inside plant hosts, with the goal of developing control strategies to limit the spread and severity of bacterial plant diseases. This research, taking place from June 1, 2024 to September 14,...
The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a $180,000 Project Grant award on August 15, 2024 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). This multidisciplinary project aims to gain a deeper understanding of xylan, a key plant cell wall component, and its role in plant health, biomechanics, and resilience to biotic stressors like nematodes. The research leverages molecular biology techniques and...
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...
The University of California, Davis will receive $200,000 from the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to focus on preventing pathogen contamination in the lettuce production continuum.
