- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded South Dakota State University $144,727 on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to develop and release hard winter wheat and winter durum cultivars with Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) resistance for the U.S. Great Plains. The project will increase the frequency of major and minor resistance genes, implement genomic and phenomics prediction strategies, and coordinate regional...
- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Dakota State University a $376,240 Project Grant under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to conduct research from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026. The university will breed durum wheat varieties with improved resistance to Fusarium head blight, also known as scab, under this funding. By developing wheat cultivars less susceptible to this fungal disease, the university aims to help...
- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University $182,643 on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to conduct genomic selection research for stable Fusarium Head Blight resistance in winter wheat and barley. The recipient will evaluate cooperative nurseries for adaptation and FHB resistance in wheat and barley, develop and employ a novel phenological genomic...
- The University of North Texas received a $235,158 cooperative agreement award from the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support to develop new technologies for improving resistance to Fusarium head blight from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. Under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001), the University will conduct agricultural research to discover methods for attaining the goal of...
- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Carolina State University a $442,271 cooperative agreement from the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) for the period of September 15, 2022 through August 14, 2026. The award will support research efforts to apply advanced phenotypic and genomic tools to improve flavor, nutrition, and production traits in carrot. As part of the Agricultural Research Service's mission to make agricultural...
- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Dakota State University a $123,008 Project Grant under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2024. The grant will fund research to study microbiome antagonism of Fusarium head blight. As part of the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program's goal of making agricultural research discoveries and providing scientific and technical...
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support awarded North Carolina State University $125,843 on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to accelerate genetic gain for Fusarium head blight resistance in southern soft wheat. The project runs through April 30, 2030, with performance at Raleigh, North Carolina. The award funds research to increase wheat productivity in North Carolina and the Southeastern United States by strategically stacking durable resistance genes to combat evolving Fusarium head blight populations while enhancing adaptation to variable and often stressful production environments. This work is conducted in cooperation with and correlated to the Agricultural Research Service's in-house research programs.
