The University of California, Davis received a $618,000 Project Grant award from the Institute of Food Production and Sustainability under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) on April 1, 2026, with performance extending through March 31, 2030. The project delivers scientific research and knowledge products focused on identifying the genetic basis of root formation in wild grapevine species. Key deliverables include evaluation of root formation across a diverse collection of wild grapevines using standardized nursery-style propagation tests and image-based measurement tools, genomic analysis linking genome regions and specific genes to strong root development, molecular characterization of gene activity and plant hormone influences on rooting, and peer-reviewed scientific publications documenting findings. The project generates applied outcomes designed to support the grape industry through dissemination of research results via scientific publications, a dedicated project website, and presentations to grape growers and nursery operators. By identifying genetic mechanisms controlling rootstock propagation, the research removes technical barriers that currently limit the use of diverse grape species in commercial breeding programs, ultimately enabling development of improved rootstocks with enhanced stress tolerance and easier propagation characteristics. These outcomes support more reliable vineyard establishment, reduce production risks, and sustain grape production and the rural communities dependent on the industry.Federal Grant Award Summary
