- This $119,880 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports a predoctoral research project to analyze the potential benefits to soil health of reintroducing native arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in prairie restorations on post-agricultural lands. The research will examine soil structure, nutrients, the AM fungal community composition, and...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $200,412 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to investigate the potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to enhance nutrient uptake and soil carbon storage in deep-rooted grass cultivars grown in the Colombian Orinoquía savannah ecosystem. The 2-year project will characterize the mechanisms by which AMF may induce losses or gains of soil carbon when...
- This $749,846 Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2023 by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The goal of this project is to quantify the effects of carbon allocation to different plant tissues, symbionts and exudates on its turnaround and resilience in the ecosystem. The key products and services to be delivered include: (1) validating estimates of carbon...
- This Project Grant award of $225,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) supports research to understand the role of microbial communities on coffee leaves in the development of Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) disease. The awardee, Synergistic Hawaii Agriculture Council (SHAC), a non-profit organization based in Hilo, Hawaii, will use DNA sequencing to identify differences in fungal and bacterial communities on healthy and CLR-infected...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Buried Solution for Agricultural Resilience: Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi" from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023. This award falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems confronting the...
- This federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $631,572.08 in funding to The Salk Institute for Biological Studies to conduct research aimed at understanding how plants select and interact with beneficial soil fungi to promote sustainable agricultural practices. The research will focus on characterizing the genetic basis for how plants discriminate between different...
- This $300,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will fund research to identify arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) species and isolates that can confer drought tolerance to agricultural and rangeland plant species. The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas, will lead this 2-year effort to leverage AMF culture collections,...
- This $557,858 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will support research to understand how Hawaii's 'ohi'a trees respond to stress and infection from a novel fungal pathogen known as Rapid 'Ohi'a Death (ROD). The research aims to comprehensively quantify the relationship between tree carbohydrate reserves and the physical and chemical defense response to infection. The project will combine field...
- This federal Project Grant award of $225,000 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310).
