- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $759,465 in funding to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on the molecular mechanisms of stomatal CO2 signal transduction in plants. The research aims to identify proteins and genes of a recently discovered CO2 sensor in order to determine the cellular signaling processes through which carbon dioxide regulates plant water loss and CO2 intake. The...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $921,054 supports research to develop new biological functions through engineering plant hormone receptors. Led by the Regents of the University of California, Riverside under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the project engineers plant sensors to recognize pharmaceuticals and dietary molecules. It then uses these sensors to design "sentinel cells" that indicate molecule presence through color changes. Specifically, the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $115,172 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct collaborative research on soybean's response to phosphate and iron deficiency. The objective is to use quantitative phosphoproteomics to unravel the signaling pathways underlying soybean's sensing and immediate response to these nutrient stresses. This research aims to help develop soybean...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will deliver programmed plants with novel approaches to control root growth and improve nitrogen use efficiency. The $640,474 award to the University of California, Davis (UEI: TX2DAGQPENZ5), running from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, will develop tools to engineer desirable nitrogen-responsive traits and quantify how an enhanced root system contributes to improved uptake and use...
- The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, received a $600,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to conduct research under the Biological Sciences program. The goal of the grant is to advance understanding of major biological problems through basic research projects such as TRTECH-PGR: NSF BSF - Recombining Allelic Diversity via Genome Editing for Dissecting Complex Plant Traits. This project will utilize genome...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded $1.1M to the University of California, Davis under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct fundamental research investigating how cytokinin hormonal signaling regulates cell plate development and callose deposition during plant cell division. The project, which commenced August 1, 2025, and concludes July 31, 2028, will deliver mechanistic insights into...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences provides $967,423 to fund research titled "Regulation of Nutrient Homeostasis by the CBL-CIPK Calcium Sensor-Kinase Network in Arabidopsis." The research aims to increase scientific understanding of how plants regulate nutrient balance through the CBL-CIPK calcium signaling pathway in the model plant Arabidopsis. The grant supports the three-year period from February 2021 to January 2024. The Regents of the University of California, operating as the University of California, Berkeley, serves as the primary awardee. As a leading public research university, UC Berkeley is well-positioned to advance the Biological Sciences objectives of the National Science Foundation to strengthen basic biological research capacity and knowledge. Insights from this research have the potential to enhance agricultural nutrient management and food security.
