- This $720,494 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program aims to improve the productivity, quality, and nutritional traits of rice under heat stress. The key objectives are to: 1) phenotype a novel "Heat-MAGIC" rice population to quantify the impacts of heat stress on yield, grain quality, and nutrition; 2) map genetic loci associated with heat tolerance; and 3) characterize favorable...
- The Division of Agriculture of the University of Arkansas received a $585,650 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The objective of this 4-year award is to identify genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that confer tolerance to high nighttime temperatures (HNT) in rice, which can significantly impact yield and quality. The researchers will use genome-wide association studies and QTL mapping...
