UMD Assistant Professor Receives National Science Foundation Career Award to Understand the Mechanisms of Genetic Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight
Nidhi Rawat, assistant professor in Plant Science and Landscape Architecture at the University of Maryland, recently received the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) prestigious Career Award in Biological Sciences. This five-year award continues and expands Rawat’s primary work to investigate the genetic mechanism of plants that are resistant to fungal pathogens like Fusarium graminearum, the cause of Fusarium Head Blight or wheat scab, a major global crop disease and a significant concern in the state of Maryland for the success of crops like wheat and barley. The new grant will support research, education, and Extension efforts to benefit farmers and train future scientists.
