Cornell University received a $180,000 project grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2029. This research initiative advances foundational knowledge of carotenoid metabolism in squash (Cucurbita sp.) and develops genetic markers to enable plant breeders to biofortify squash cultivars with enhanced dietary carotenoids for improved human nutrition. The project aligns with AFRI's Plant Health and Production and Plant Products priority area and will directly apply developed markers in squash cultivar development. The award also supports professional training and skill development of a predoctoral candidate pursuing a career in academia. The research will be conducted at Cornell University's location in Ithaca, New York, with oversight provided through the university's Office of Sponsored Programs. By equipping plant breeders with new genetic tools derived from this foundational research, the project contributes to AFRI's broader mission of enhancing food security and human nutrition while advancing the agricultural bioeconomy.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
