- The Regents of the University of Idaho received a $298,928 Project Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program. The grant is funding research to engineer a potato gene that can resist degradation by a protein effector produced by the Potato Cyst Nematode (PCN), a major pest that causes up to 100% yield loss in potato crops. The two-year project aims to: 1) Engineer a potato pattern recognition...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care program (CFDA 10.025) provides $678,000 to the Regents of the University of Idaho to conduct research to identify and isolate the genetic defenses from the plant Solanum sisymbriifolium (Litchi tomato-LT) that make it immune to potato cyst nematodes (PCN). The intended goals are to transfer these genetic...
- This $1,145,609 Project Grant, awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program, supports research into the mechanism and manipulation of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors in plants. The project, led by Texas A&M AgriLife Research, aims to investigate how the potato NLR protein RB interacts with pathogen effector proteins and plant immune signaling components, and how some pathogen strains...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) grant award to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) aims to advance the understanding of how plants recognize and respond to infection by plant parasitic nematodes, one of the most destructive plant pathogens causing an estimated $78 billion in global annual losses. The $796,385 project, running from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027, will identify nematode-derived molecules that activate plant innate immunity...
- This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care Federal Grant Program (CFDA 10.025), supports research to develop resistance to the potato cyst nematode (PCN) Globodera pallida in Russet potatoes for Idaho farmers. The $309,366 award to the Regents of the University of Idaho will enable the identification and testing of potato germplasm from...
- This federal Project Grant award of $300,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) program will support the development of light-responsive γ-PGA based hydrogels for controlled nematicide delivery to manage plant-parasitic nematodes and improve crop yields. Specifically, the grant will enable researchers at the University of Idaho to develop innovative, biodegradable hydrogel delivery systems that can precisely control the...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research to unveil the molecular mechanism of feeding tube formation by the root-knot nematode, a major global threat to food and fiber crop production. The $255,932 award, effective August 15, 2025 through July 31, 2028, aims to resolve the mystery of how the nematode's unique feeding tube is assembled and determine its composition. The research...
- This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Integrated Programs (CFDA 10.303) Project Grant award of $606,818 to Washington State University aims to explore the potential of the plant Solanum sisymbriifolium as a sustainable biopesticide to control root-knot and cyst nematodes in high-value specialty crops such as potato, carrot, onion, wine grapes, and tree fruits. The key objectives are to: Determine the efficacy of S. sisymbriifolium formulations against root-knot and cyst...
- 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,...
- Washington State University was awarded a $741,631 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The three-year grant runs from May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2026. The grant funds research to develop new tools for plant resistance and protection from root-knot nematode infections, which are a major concern for growers of many crops. The research will...
