University of California, Davis received a Project Grant award of $849,553 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), effective February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2029. The award supports research investigating how plant immune responses shape agricultural microbiome functions, with particular focus on understanding the mechanisms by which JAZ (jasmonate-associated) transcription regulators control plant basal immune responses to pests and pathogens through hormone homeostasis regulation. This research aims to advance fundamental knowledge of soil-plant-microbiome interactions on spatial-temporal scales to improve agricultural productivity while reducing agrochemical applications and environmental impacts. The research outcomes will contribute to AFRI's broader mission of advancing agricultural sustainability and food security by enabling more efficient crop production systems. By elucidating how plant immunity influences microbiome assembly and function—particularly through jasmonates and other stress hormone signaling—the project seeks to provide scientific foundations for leveraging agricultural microbiome functions to enhance crop resilience and nutrient use efficiency. The research will be conducted at UC Davis, a premier land-grant research institution with substantial expertise and infrastructure in agricultural and environmental sciences.Federal Grant Award Summary
