- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to address a key question related to plant resistance to nematodes. Specifically, the $695,380 award to the Regents of the University of Idaho seeks to elucidate the mechanisms underlying potato resistance to the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida. The research project will investigate how plants detect nematode-derived small-molecule signals, such...
- The Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research Inc. was awarded a $760,506 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The grant, titled "FIGHTBLIGHT", aims to develop new traits for disease resistance that would revolutionize the protection of potatoes from the devastating potato late blight pathogen. The key objectives are to: 1) Bioengineer solanaceous...
- This $769,792 Project Grant was awarded on August 15, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska. The funding will support research to identify and characterize pathogen effector proteins that suppress host plant defenses during early infection by oomycetes and fungi, including the fungal rice destroyer Magnaporthe oryzae. The goal is to clarify the rules for effector evolution,...
- The Project Grant award, titled "DEVELOPING AN INTRACELLULAR PROTEIN DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR IN PLANTA PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERACTION STUDIES", was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The $1,000,000 award, with a project period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will support the development of a novel, non-invasive intracellular protein delivery system to enable the study of protein interactions within live plant cells. The...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $900,000 Project Grant to Texas A&M Agrilife Research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2025. The funding will support research focusing on the role of Coat Protein Complex I in transporting enzymes involved in regulatory functions like mRNA degradation and protein synthesis inhibition within plant cells. The grantee aims to elucidate how COPI contributes to miRNA-mediated RNA...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal Project Grant award to Texas Tech University System, valued at $239,602.00 and effective from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2030, will support research to explore the presence and functional significance of polycistronic gene expression, where a single transcript encodes multiple proteins, across the plant kingdom. The project aims to use DNA/RNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and in vitro/in vivo experiments to better...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,720,000 project grant to the University of Maryland, College Park under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for research titled "Collaborative Research: Research-PGR: Genome-Wide Quest for Non-Host Resistance Mechanisms in Plants." Over a three-year period ending December 2026, the university will conduct research to elucidate the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying non-host resistance in plants against fungal pathogens....
- This $797,594 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a collaborative research project led by scientists at Auburn University, the University of Kentucky, and the University of Bonn in Germany. The goal of the project is to develop crop varieties with stable immunity that can withstand both evolving pathogen pressures and suboptimal growing temperatures driven by climate change. The research will examine how the interaction...
- This Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) provides $682,500 to Texas A&M AgriLife Research to identify bacterial effectors from plant pathogens transmitted by psyllid insects, and evaluate their role in infecting plants and arthropod vectors. The goal is to develop new control strategies that disrupt pathogen transmission and plant infection. This original research will study the parallel...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310), focuses on understanding how the diversity and evolution of the CSP22 receptor affects plant immune responses.
