This Project Grant award of $299,998.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to address soybean cyst nematode (SCN) impacts on dry bean production in North Dakota and Minnesota. The key products and services to be delivered include: Conducting field experiments in ND and MN to study the impact of SCN on dry bean yields, discovering and deploying host...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $225,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) to North Carolina State University to investigate disease resistance in populations of maize landraces and teosinte, the wild relative of maize. The project aims to describe genetic variation for disease resistance, perform genome-wide association analysis to identify resistance alleles, measure resistance components, and analyze 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 University of California, Davis was awarded a $649,480 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The grant aims to explore the genetic and developmental basis of pod quality traits in snap bean crops that are genetically and environmentally unstable. Specifically, the university will conduct genome-wide association studies, whole genome sequencing,...
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, valued at $849,702.00, 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. The project aims to investigate the dynamic interactions within the barley microbiome during Fusarium head blight (FHB) infection. Key objectives include establishing the barley phyllosphere as a model system for studying microbiome assembly mechanisms, determining the...
This $180,000 Project Grant awarded by the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (AFRI CFDA 10.310) to Colorado State University (CSU) aims to address two key questions related to disease resistance genes in plants. The first objective is to determine the function of a class of disease resistance proteins that are abundant in dicot plant species (e.g. vegetables, fruits) but present as a single gene in many monocot genomes (e.g. cereals, grains). This will be...
The Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture has awarded a $499,998.00 Project Grant to the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The long-term goal of this 4-year project is to develop and publicly release two new dry bean cultivars adapted to Michigan and the Upper Midwest, one each from the black and navy bean market classes. The project will utilize genomic prediction strategies to...
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...
