AFRI – FAS Plant Breeding for Agricultural Production (A1141)

Program Area Priority: The Plant Breeding for Agricultural Production program will support public breeding efforts to improve crop productivity, efficiency, quality, and performance. Research is welcome to genetically dissect and then introduce desirable traits that may include, but are not limited to: increased nutrient use efficiency; increased photosynthetic efficiency; tolerance to drought, flood and temperature […]

AFRI – FAS Conventional Plant Breeding for Cultivar Development (A1143)

Program Area Priority: The Conventional Plant Breeding for Cultivar Development program will support public breeding efforts that provide farmers with greater access to locally and regionally adapted cultivars and address the public breeding priorities in the USDA plant breeding roadmap (https://www.usda.gov/topics/plants). Applications for research must address later stages of cultivar development focused on datadriven evaluation […]
