Montana State University received a $799,737 three-year Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA 10.310). The grant will fund research to identify five wheat rust disease resistance genes and their corresponding effector genes from three rust pathogens. This knowledge will provide tools for molecular surveillance and early detection of new...
This $3 million National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Illinois exploring the genetic and mechanistic bases of quantitative disease resistance in maize. The research aims to improve understanding of quantitative disease resistance at multiple levels, from genes to tradeoffs at the whole plant level, focusing on some of the most important diseases of corn. A subaward of approximately...
This $744,729 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to address the challenges posed by the bean rust disease caused by the fungus Uromyces appendiculatus in the United States. The project aims to unravel the population diversity of U. appendiculatus isolates in the U.S. over the past three decades using traditional phenotyping and genomics, and compare them to global isolates to study the...
This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1.4 million supports research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to characterize mutant strains of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae that are unable to properly maintain the biotrophic interface or membrane integrity during growth in host plant cells. The goal is to uncover novel cellular, biochemical, and genetic mechanisms governing rice infection. Results may provide insights into fundamental concepts of plant-microbe...
This $452,399 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Hofstra University to investigate the epigenetic regulation of transposable elements in maize. The research aims to study the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RDDM) induced by naturally occurring maize "killer" alleles and explore the dynamic regulation of transposable element silencing in response to developmental cues. The project will...
This Project Grant award of $270,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a postdoctoral research fellowship to investigate the role of plant immunity in driving maize microbe-dependent heterosis. The research aims to identify key microbial epitopes influencing root colonization and determine if microbial-triggered immunity activation contributes to heterotic patterns in maize hybrids. The project includes hands-on training for...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $188,491 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to the University of New Mexico. This 5-year grant, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, will support collaborative research to investigate how microbial symbionts influence the health and stability of host plants, including grasses important for ranching and landscaping. The research team will use long-term demographic data from a unique...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1.5 million Project Grant to Michigan State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of May 15, 2021 through April 30, 2025. The grant funds the TRTECH-PGR: MAIZE HUB project to develop an open-source simulation platform and resources integrating extensive field trial data, DNA sequences, and historical weather records for maize. The University of Wisconsin System will receive a sub-award as part of the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $750,000 to the University of Missouri System from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research among multiple institutions to elucidate the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying nonhost resistance in plants. Nonhost resistance confers broad immunity to most plant species against pathogens that can infect other species. The research aims to...
The University of Missouri System was awarded a $624,059 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support research elucidating the mechanisms of nematode disease resistance mediated by serine hydroxymethyltransferase from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2025. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the national scientific enterprise by...
