The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a $120,000 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), awarded May 1, 2026, with a completion date of April 30, 2028. This research project will identify the genetic basis of virulence in Meloidogyne incognita, a parasitic nematode pest affecting tomato and other economically important crops with varying resistance levels to nematode attacks. The research will advance understanding of plant-pest interactions and contribute to developing more effective pest management strategies for agriculturally significant crops. In addition to its research objectives, the project includes substantial workforce development and educational components. The Principal Investigator will receive training in cutting-edge technologies and develop leadership skills to position himself as a field expert in plant-pest interactions. The award also provides hands-on experience in agricultural biology for undergraduate students and builds mentoring capacity within the institution. These combined research and educational outcomes align with AFRI's mission to develop the next generation of agricultural scientists while addressing significant crop production challenges.Federal Grant Award Summary
