- This $7,099,701 federal Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Specialty Crop Research Initiative (CFDA 10.309) will support a 32-person research team to develop disease-resistant Vitis (bunch grape) and Muscadinia grape hybrids with enhanced fruit quality attributes. Key objectives include determining the cytogenomic basis for successful wide hybridization, breeding populations with combined disease resistance and...
- This $760,000 Project Grant was 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) program. The overall goal is to grow precision engineering systems and technologies for near real-time monitoring of muscadine grape vineyards and water management. The project will pilot the FAMU Center for Viticulture and Small Fruit Research as a testbed to deploy these advanced engineering technologies,...
- The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service awarded Cornell University a $155,228 cooperative agreement under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care federal grant program (CFDA 10.025) for the period of September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024. Under this award, Cornell University will operate an Eastern NCPN-GRAPES Center to introduce high-quality grapevine materials from domestic and foreign sources. The Center will produce clean, virus-tested...
- This $606,030 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports collaborative research at the Pennsylvania State University to study the genomic and epigenomic architecture of scion and rootstock traits in grafted grapevines. The goal is to understand how epigenetic changes in the root and stem of grafted grapevines contribute to phenotypic plasticity and plant resilience in response to environmental stress. The research...
- This $419,348 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research to decipher the genomic and epigenomic mechanisms underlying phenotypic plasticity in grafted grapevine plants. The project, conducted by South Dakota State University, aims to understand how epigenetic changes in the rootstock and scion interact to influence grapevine resilience and performance under varying environmental conditions. The...
- This Project Grant award of $792,175.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program is funding collaborative research at Cornell University to investigate the genomic and epigenomic architecture underlying the plasticity of scion and rootstock traits in grafted grapevines. The project aims to understand how epigenetic changes in the root and stem of grafted grapevines contribute to plant resilience under environmental stress, which will help...
- This $325,000 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.329) seeks to characterize fungicide resistance of the Botrytis pathogen affecting a wide range of specialty crops including fruit, ornamentals, vegetable transplants, and row crops in California and Michigan. The key objectives are to: 1) determine the fungicide resistance profile of Botrytis populations...
This $267,365 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.329 - Crop Protection and Pest Management Competitive Grants Program) is intended to improve understanding of canopy management practices and their impact on disease control in vineyards in the Northeastern United States. The project will conduct field trials to validate labor-intensive canopy management practices for disease control across different grape-growing regions and cultivars. Disease risks will be calculated using canopy-level weather data and existing models in relation to canopy densities and observed diseases. The knowledge gained from this 3-year project, led by the University of Maryland, will be shared with regional grape growers and stakeholders to refine canopy management strategies for sustainable pest management in the Northeast wine grape industry.
