The University of Kentucky Research Foundation received a $686,010 grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The grant will fund research to address Fusarium graminearum, a fungus that causes major diseases in wheat, barley, rice, and corn crops, including Fusarium head blight and Gibberella ear rot. The key objectives are to develop new tools and resources to study, track, and model the Fusarium pathogen...
This $225,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program aims to uncover the role of non-coding DNA sequences in regulating agronomic traits, using the grass awn as a model. The research will focus on three key objectives: 1) Identifying putative regulatory DNA elements across grass genomes, 2) Associating variation in these conserved non-coding sequences with awn traits, and 3) Dissecting the function of...
This $744,729 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to address the challenges posed by the bean rust disease caused by the fungus Uromyces appendiculatus in the United States. The project aims to unravel the population diversity of U. appendiculatus isolates in the U.S. over the past three decades using traditional phenotyping and genomics, and compare them to global isolates to study the...
This $500,000 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), will support research to gain insights into differential host susceptibility to infection by fungal pathogens. The project will utilize wild host models to provide greater predictive potential on emerging infectious diseases of crop plants. Key research activities include sophisticated microscopic analysis of...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a two-year, $182,019 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support to develop and evaluate the efficacy of a mineral rover for quantifying Fusarium head blight (FHB) severity in wheat and barley field experiments. Objectives of the research include using the rover to phenotype FHB severity, developing models to quantify FHB from imaged plots,...
