This $499,541 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI program CFDA 10.310) will support North Dakota State University's research to elucidate the rules governing the assembly and colonization of the root nodule microbiome in legumes. The project aims to unlock the nodule microbiome as a tool for sustainable agriculture by: 1) investigating the drivers of nodule microbiome composition, 2) establishing a culture collection of...
This Project Grant award of $225,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to understand how the genetic makeup of maize, teosinte, and sorghum plants influences their microbiomes and ability to adapt to heat and nutrient stress. The research aims to identify ways to strengthen maize's microbiome and develop more resilient, climate-resistant crop varieties....
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Dakota State University a $608,409 Project Grant under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to develop malting barley with reduced Fusarium head blight (FHB) and deoxynivalenol (DON) from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026. The grant will support research and development of malting barley varieties with enhanced resistance to FHB and lower levels of DON contamination through fungal...
This federal Project Grant award of $713,709 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports a study at North Dakota State University to validate the role of keystone microbial taxa in enhancing microbiome resilience to environmental stress. The research aims to 1) assess the impact of keystone taxa on microbiome connectivity, 2) employ bacteriophage to eliminate keystone taxa and evaluate the impact of...
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Dakota State University a $123,008 Project Grant under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2024. The grant will fund research to study microbiome antagonism of Fusarium head blight. As part of the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program's goal of making agricultural research discoveries and providing scientific and technical...
This Project Grant award of $225,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to examine the distribution and prevalence of transposable genetic elements, called "starships," within Fusarium fungi that cause Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease in cereal crops like wheat and barley. The project aims to determine if Fusarium species causing FHB contain more of these transposable elements compared to...
This Project Grant award of $849,999 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) supports research to understand how the plant immune system regulates assembly of the leaf microbiome and how the microbiome modulates plant health and resistance to pathogens, using rice and bacterial blight as a model system. Key objectives include identifying rice genes that influence leaf microbiome assembly during disease...
This federal Project Grant award from the Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research by Iowa State University to gain a better understanding of plant root microbiomes and the interactions between the microbes within these communities. The $180,000 grant, awarded on June 1, 2023, will fund a 3-year project to study how microbial communities form on corn plant roots and how the...
This $212,180 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture's (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will support research by The Ohio State University to better understand how barley plants defend against a bacterial disease caused by Xanthomonas translucens (XT). The project aims to: Understand how the battle between XT bacteria and the barley plant's defenses unfolds within different parts of the leaf over time. Compare gene activity...
