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 Central Program Planning Coordination and Support awarded $159,755 to the University of Maryland, College Park on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to develop Fusarium head blight-resistant small grain cultivars for Maryland growers. The award funds three activities: evaluation of small grain germplasm to identify new sources of resistance against FHB; mapping and...
- 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 a Cooperative Agreement totaling $529,812 to Texas A&M Agrilife Research on April 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001). The award funds research to develop methodologies, technologies, and interventions to reduce preharvest and postharvest aflatoxin contamination in corn grown in the United States. Specific objectives include developing prevention and defense...
- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Central Program Planning Coordination and Support awarded Michigan State University $121,289 on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to develop fusarium head blight (FHB) resistant soft red and white winter wheat varieties for the Great Lakes region. The award supports the breeding and release of FHB-resistant wheat varieties to strengthen agricultural economies in Michigan and...
- The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded North Dakota State University a $371,333 Project Grant under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to conduct wheat breeding for enhanced Fusarium head blight resistance in North Dakota. The grant period is from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026 and will support research to develop wheat varieties with improved resistance to Fusarium head blight, a fungal disease that reduces wheat yields and...
The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded Texas A&M Agrilife Research $106,620 on May 1, 2026, under the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program (CFDA 10.001) to develop and release Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistant soft red winter wheat cultivars for Texas and the southeastern United States. The project employs traditional breeding techniques, misted scab nurseries, doubled haploid technology, genomic prediction and selection, and marker-assisted selection to develop FHB-resistant cultivars. The recipient will share germplasm with other southeastern U.S. agricultural programs to extend the reach of resistance traits across the region. Work is performed in Commerce, Texas, with a period of performance running from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2030. The Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program funds research and development projects conducted in cooperation with the Agricultural Research Service's in-house programs. Awards under this program are subject to a five-year statutory limit on period of performance, with no renewals permitted—only extensions.
