The Foundation for Food and
Agriculture Research (FFAR) has awarded a $1 million grant to Kansas State
University to increase water efficient crop yields.
The grant, which is part of the seeding solutions program, was matched by Kansas State University, Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission, Corteva Agriscience, Collaborative Sorghum Investment Program, and the University of California.
LaKisha Odom, scientific program director with FFAR, says the grant will extend a genome-to-phenome (G2P) breeding approach.
