Plant Biotic Interactions

    From USDA: National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA)

    Invest in and advance agricultural research, education, and extension to solve societal challenges.

    Type of Support

    Overview

    The PBI program supports research projects on beneficial and antagonistic interactions between plants and a wide range of organisms, including viruses, bacteria, oomycetes, fungi, other plants, and invertebrates. It covers both current and emerging model and non-model systems, as well as agriculturally relevant plants. Projects should be justified in terms of their relevance to fundamental biological processes and/or agriculture and may be either purely fundamental or applied, or combine both perspectives. The scope includes all types of symbiosis, such as commensalism, mutualism, parasitism, and host-pathogen interactions, focusing on the biology of the plant host, its pathogens, pests or symbionts, and their interactions, including the function of plant-associated microbiomes. The program promotes studies on the initiation, transmission, maintenance, and outcome of plant biotic interactions, incorporating molecular, genomic, metabolic, cellular, network, and organismal processes, guided by hypothesis and/or discovery-driven approaches. It encourages quantitative modeling alongside experimental work but does not support strictly ecological projects that do not address underlying biological mechanisms.
