2/3 EATING DISORDERS GENETICS INITIATIVE 2 - PROJECT SUMMARY WE PROPOSE THE EATING DISORDERS GENETICS INITIATIVE 2 (EDGI2), A NEW COLLABORATIVE R01 IN RESPONSE TO PAR- 23-050 CLINICAL STUDIES OF MENTAL ILLNESS. ITS SINGLE-SITE PREDECESSORS, EDGI1 (R01 MH120170) AND ARFID-GEN (R56 MH129437) HAVE BEEN RESOUNDINGLY SUCCESSFUL. WE NOW UNITE THE FOUR ORIGINAL EDGI1 SITES WITH EXCEPTIONALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL NEW SITES TO ADVANCE GENOMIC DISCOVERY ACROSS ALL MAJOR EATING DISORDERS (EDS) TO IDENTIFY BIOLOGICALLY, CLINICALLY, CULTURALLY, AND THERAPEUTICALLY MEANINGFUL AND ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS. AIM 1: EDGI2 EXTENDS OUR CORE BUSINESS BY INCREASING SAMPLE SIZE, DIVERSITY, AND ED PHENOTYPES. USING OUR COMPREHENSIVE HARMONIZED ONLINE ASSESSMENT BATTERY, WE WILL PHENOTYPE AND BIO-SAMPLE 20,000 NEW PARTICIPANTS WITH ANOREXIA NERVOSA (AN), BULIMIA NERVOSA (BN), BINGE-EATING DISORDER (BED), AVOIDANT/RESTRICTIVE FOOD INTAKE DISORDER (ARFID), AND CONTROLS. EDGI2 EMPHASIZES CO-PRODUCTION—WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM MINORITIZED AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES, WE WILL ASCERTAIN 30% OF SAMPLES FROM UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS. WE WILL ALSO OVER- SAMPLE INDIVIDUALS WITH SEVERE AND ENDURING AN (SE-AN), WHOSE DNA MAY BE ENRICHED FOR CAUSATIVE ALLELES. AIM 2: WE WILL APPLY STATISTICAL GENETIC ANALYSES TO EXPLICATE HETEROGENEITY AND BIOLOGY OF EDS BY: CONDUCTING STANDARD GWAS ANALYSES ON DIAGNOSES, TRANS-DIAGNOSTIC BEHAVIORS, AND CONTINUOUS PHENOTYPES INCLUDING POLYGENIC RISK SCORE (PRS), AND RARE VARIANT CNV ANALYSES; IDENTIFYING CLINICALLY MEANINGFULLY PATIENT SUBSETS; AND INTENSIVELY EVALUATING OUR PROPOSAL THAT AN IS A METABO-PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS USING LDSC, PRSET, PHEWAS, AND MENDELIAN RANDOMIZATION TO CLARIFY DIRECTION OF CAUSATION. AIM 3: WE WILL EVALUATE THE RELATIVE ROLES OF GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISK AND RESILIENCE FACTORS TO INFORM RISK PREDICTION BY PHENOTYPICALLY CHARACTERIZING CASES AND CONTROLS WITH HIGH AND LOW PRS FOR EDS AND THEN BY GENOTYPICALLY CHARACTERIZING THOSE WITH SEVERE ED PHENOTYPES. WE WILL CHARACTERIZE DISTINCT GENETIC OR MOLECULAR GROUPINGS/PATTERNS ACROSS CASES AND CONTROLS AND PHENOTYPICALLY CHARACTERIZE IDENTIFIED MOLECULAR SUBTYPES. AIM 4: TO DETERMINE WHERE IN THE BODY EDS “LIVE”, WE WILL IDENTIFY BRAIN CELL TYPES AND ANATOMICAL REGIONS IMPLICATED BY GENOMIC STUDIES OF EDS; PREDICT GENETICALLY REGULATED GENE EXPRESSION (GREX) IN BRAIN, GUT, ADIPOSE, AND OTHER ED-RELEVANT TISSUES; USE SNRNASEQ ATLASES TO SHARPEN PRELIMINARY GTEX AND TWAS ANALYSES TO IDENTIFY BRAIN CELL TYPES STRONGLY IMPLICATED BY THE GENOMICS OF EACH ED; EXPAND TO RELEVANT NON-BRAIN CELL TYPES (E.G., ADIPOSE, MUSCLE, LIVER, SALIVARY); AND USE DYNAMIC GREX TO MODEL GENE EXPRESSION IN ED-RELEVANT CONTEXTS (E.G., SEX, BMI, STRESS) ENABLING PRECISE AND PERSONALIZED MODELLING OF GENE EXPRESSION. AIM 5: EDGI2 WILL CULMINATE IN A TRANSLATIONAL SUMMIT UNITING FORWARD-THINKING STAKEHOLDERS FROM MULTIPLE SECTORS TO DEVELOP A TRANSLATIONAL ROADMAP FOR EVIDENCE-BASED ED PREVENTION AND TREATMENT. EDGI2 WILL YIELD CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISK FOR EDS, REVEAL MECHANISMS THAT POTENTIATE OR PROTECT AGAINST GENETIC RISK, AND TRANSITION ED GENETICS FROM DISCOVERY TO CLINICAL TRANSLATION.

CROP DIVERSIFICATION AND INCREASED USE OF PERENNIALS, PARTICULARLY ALFALFA, WITHIN FARMER FIELDS ARE KEY TO THE SUSTAINABLE INTENSIFICATION OF US AGRICULTURAL. MANY FARMERS ARE INTERESTED IN TRYING ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES SUCH AS DUAL PURPOSE GRAIN AND FORAGE INTERCROPPING TO INCREASE CROP DIVERSITY ON THEIR FARM AND REDUCE THEIR RELIANCE ON N FERTILIZERS. HOWEVER, MANAGEMENT COMPLEXITY OF INTERCROPPING, COMBINED WITH THE CHALLENGE OF "VALUING" THE MULTIFUNCTIONALITY AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES INTERCROPPING PROVIDES, HAS LIMITED ITS ADOPTION IN MAINSTREAM AGRICULTURE. THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES THOSE CONSTRAINTS BY ENGINEERING AN INTER-ROW HEADER (IRH) THAT ATTACHES TO EXISTING SELF-PROPELLED FORAGE HARVESTERS TO CUT AND HARVEST COVER CROPS (I.E. ALFALFA) INTERCROPPED BETWEEN ROWS OF CASH GRAIN CROPS. THE IRH PROVIDES AN EASILY ADOPTABLE MANAGEMENT SOLUTION FOR FARMERS TO REDUCE COMPETITION BETWEEN ALFALFA AND GRAIN CROPS AT CRITICAL GROWTH STAGES WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY HARVESTING ALFALFA AS A SALEABLE FORAGE. TRIALS OF ALFALFA-CORN AND ALFALFA-INTERMEDIATE WHEATGRASS (IWG) INTERCROPS WILL BE USED TO TEST THE IRH PERFORMANCE AND QUANTIFY THE YIELDS IRH MANAGED ALFALFA-GRAIN SYSTEMS PROVIDE. ADDITIONALLY, THE IRH WILL BE TESTED AT FIELD SCALE IN EXISTING ALFALFA-IWG FARMER FIELDS IN KANSAS, MINNESOTA, AND WISCONSIN TO DEMONSTRATE ITS UTILITY AND RECEIVE FARMER/INDUSTRY FEEDBACK. HARVESTING THESE FARMER FIELDS WILL OCCUR IN CONJUNCTION WITH FIELD DAYS AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES IN ALL THREE STATES. ULTIMATELY, BY PROVIDING FARMERS WITH EFFICIENT MECHANIZED EQUIPMENT LIKE THE IRH FOR GRAIN-FORAGE INTERCROPS COULD INCREASE ADOPTION OF THOSE SYSTEMS, DECREASE THE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT OF US AGRICULTURE, AND INCREASE THE ACREAGE PLANTED TO ALFALFA ON US LANDSCAPES.

**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THIS PROJECT ALIGNS BEST WITH PROGRAM 3, PARTICULARLY 3A, B AND E. DESPITE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPS) AND GROWER OPPORTUNITY ZONES (GOZS), ADVENTITIOUS PRESENCE (AP) IS OCCURRING AND NEGATIVELY IMPACTING THE COEXISTENCE OF ALFALFA MARKETS. FERAL POPULATIONS PRESENT AN ADDITIONAL CHALLENGE IN ALFALFA BECAUSE THEY CAN ACT AS BRIDGES AND REFUGES FOR GE GENES. THE GLYPHOSATE RESISTANCE (GR) GENE HAS BEEN DETECTED IN MANY ALFALFA FERAL POPULATIONS BUT LITTLE INFORMATION EXISTS ON ITS FREQUENCY (J-101 AND J-163 EVENTS) AND ON ITS IMPACT ON THE POLLINATORS, PESTS AND DISEASES, LIFE HISTORY CHARACTERISTICS AND POTENTIAL FOR INVASIVENESS OF THESE POPULATIONS. FILLING THESE KNOWLEDGE GAPS IS THE OVERALL GOAL OF THIS PROPOSAL. WE WILL (1) EXPAND THE GEOGRAPHICAL SURVEY OF FERAL POPULATIONS AND ESTIMATE THE CHANGE IN FREQUENCY OF THE GR GENE IN FERAL POPULATIONS; (2) QUANTIFY THE IMPACT OF THE GR GENE ON POLLINATORS, PESTS AND DISEASE AND ON LIFE HISTORY PARAMETERS OF FERAL ALFALFA, AND (3) PARAMETERIZE A POPULATION MATRIX MODEL FOR GR AND NON-GR ALFALFA. TO REACH THESE GOALS, WE WILL (1) REVISIT PREVIOUSLY VISITED FERAL POPULATIONS (CA, ID, WA) AND EXPAND THE SEARCH IN THESE AND OTHER STATES (WY, MT, KS AND WI); TEST FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE GR GENE AND PERFORM PCR AND QPCR TO OBTAIN THE FREQUENCY OF THE J-101 AND J-163 EVENTS; (2) COMPARE POLLINATORS, PESTS AND DISEASE AND LIFE HISTORY PARAMETERS AND (3) DEVELOP POPULATION MATRIX MODELS TO QUANTIFY THE POTENTIAL FOR INVASIVENESS, BETWEEN GR STATUS AND ACROSS REGIONS.

PROJECT OUTCOMES INCLUDE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MARKET FOR LOCAL FOOD PROVISION OF LOGISTICAL SUPPORT TO VENDOR AND PROMOTION OF LOCAL FOOD AND INCREASED CONSUMER EDUCATION AND DEMAND FOR LOCALLY GROWN FOOD. PROJECT BENEFICIARIES INCLUDE LOCAL FARMERS GROWERS AND RANCHERS AS WELL AS HOUSTON AREA CONSUMERS.

THE STATEN ISLAND MUSEUM WILL BUILD A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO THE STEWARDSHIP OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN AND INDIGENOUS COLLECTIONS IN ITS CARE. MUSEUM STAFF WILL WORK DIRECTLY WITH LENAPE REPRESENTATIVES TO CATALOG THE LENAPE ARCHAEOLOGY COLLECTION AND ENSURE APPROPRIATE HANDLING, STORAGE, AND INTERPRETATION. THE COLLECTION CONTAINS NEARLY 3,500 ARTIFACTS FOUND ON STATEN ISLAND AND SURROUNDING AREAS, PART OF THE TRADITIONAL HOMELAND OF THE LENAPE PEOPLE. THE MUSEUM WILL HOST ADVISORY MEETINGS WITH LENAPE REPRESENTATIVES TO GAIN INSIGHT REGARDING THE CULTURAL AND SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ARTIFACTS. THE PROJECT WILL SUPPORT THE HIRING OF A PART-TIME COLLECTIONS ASSISTANT AND A MUSEUM FELLOW. THIS PROJECT WILL INCREASE THE CARE OF THE COLLECTION WHILE ALLOWING THE MUSEUM TO MAKE THE COLLECTION AS ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC AS POSSIBLE IN A WAY THAT RESPECTS THE HERITAGE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ARTIFACTS.

ECOLOGICALLY-BASED INTENSIFICATION IS A KEY STRATEGY FOR SUSTAINABLY INCREASING AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION. INTERCROPPING COULD POTENTIALLY IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY VIA IMPROVING CROP PLANT DEFENSES. HOWEVER, IDENTIFYING PLANTS THAT WILL GROW WELL TOGETHER AND TRIGGER CHEMICAL UPREGULATION IS NOT A TRIVIAL TASK. PLANTS, THEIR PHYTOCHEMISTRIES, AND THEIR SYMBIONTS FORM A COMPLEX SYSTEM WHOSE DYNAMICS ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT VIA TRIAL-AND-ERROR STUDIES ALONE. USING DATA SCIENCE AND GREENHOUSE TRIALS I PROPOSE TO (A) DETERMINE THE EVOLUTIONARY, CHEMICAL, AND/OR ECOLOGICAL FACTORS THAT PREDICT CHEMICAL DEFENSE SYNERGIES BETWEEN CROPS, COMPANION PLANTS, AND ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI (AMF), AND (B) DEVELOP AN ANALYTICAL PROGRAM THAT CAN BE USED TO IDENTIFY CANDIDATE SPECIES FOR NOVEL INTERCROPPING SYSTEMS THAT MAXIMIZE CROP PRODUCTIVITY AND DEFENSE.USING A METADATASET CONTAINING PHYLOGENETIC, PHYTOCHEMICAL, AND ECOLOGICAL DESCRIPTORS OF OVER 600 PLANT SPECIES AND THEIR ASSOCIATED AMF, I WILL: 1) TEST ITS UTILITY BY SAMPLING VOLATILES FROM PLANTS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY PRESENT IN THE DATASET AND MATCH THE COMPOUND IDENTIFICATIONS WITH THOSE IN THE DATABASE. 2) USE A COMBINATION OF PHYLOGENETIC RELATEDNESS AND PHYTOCHEMICAL SIMILARITY TO SELECT 8 CANDIDATE INTERCROPS TO BE GROWN WITH 3 COMPANION CROPS, AND EMPIRICALLY TEST OUR ALGORITHM'S ABILITY TO PREDICT SUCCESSFUL PLANT PAIRINGS. 3) SAMPLE HEADSPACE VOLATILES FROM PLANTS GROWN IN POLYCULTURE TO TEST IF PLANTS CAN ALTER THE CHEMICAL PROFILE OF THEIR NEIGHBORS. 4) USE INFORMATION GAINED IN OBJECTIVES 1-3 TO DEVELOP AN ELECTRONIC APPLICATION THAT PACKAGES THIS GROUNDBREAKING APPROACH INTO A CONVENIENT TOOL THAT ALLOWS USERS TO SELECT PLANT SPECIES TO INTERCROP WITHIN THEIR OWN FIELDS.
