The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $810,001 project grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to study the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in regulating plant gene expression and response to bacterial pathogens. The 4-year project aims to characterize the addition and removal of m6A on plant RNAs and investigate how these epitranscriptomic processes impact a plant's ability to recognize and respond to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $850,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to investigate the cellular and biomechanical mechanisms underlying rapid stomatal dynamics in grasses. This research aims to enhance understanding of how the microscopic pores called stomata, which regulate photosynthesis and water transport in crops, rapidly open and close in...
This $1,242,385 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at the University of Missouri System to coordinate plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. The research aims to understand how plants prioritize and integrate signals from diverse environmental stresses like low nutrient availability and bacterial pathogens. A team of researchers with expertise in iron nutrition, bacterial pathogen responses, cellular biology,...
This $322,925 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Gustavus Adolphus College to characterize stress-responsive peptides from long intergenic non-coding RNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana. The project aims to explore the functional role of 20 newly identified small peptides in plant development and response to environmental stressors, with the goal of identifying potential targets for crop improvement. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,000 in funding to Western University of Health Sciences to conduct collaborative research on the variability and regulation of the plant polyadenylation complex. The research aims to better understand how this complex mediates gene expression and plant responses to environmental and developmental cues, with the goal of improving our knowledge of crop plant growth,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $249,000 will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027. The fellowship will support research and training focused on "Capturing RNA Modifications from Start to Finish: Transcription to Maturation during Heat Stress" at the Université Paris-Saclay in France under the sponsorship of Drs. Martin Crespi and Moussa Benhamed. The research aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 to support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship investigating the rules of life governing interactions between plant genomes, environment, and phenotypes. The project will test the assumption that plant leaf airspaces are saturated with water vapor, which is used in important Earth systems models. If these airspaces are found to be unsaturated, it would overturn decades...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant will provide $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the molecular mechanisms governing the remarkable adaptability of aquatic plants. The research aims to elucidate the genetic underpinnings of heterophylly (the ability to produce different leaf forms) and facultative CAM photosynthesis in the model plant Littorella uniflora. The project will employ...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's $370,704 Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into unraveling the origin of vegetative desiccation tolerance in vascular plants. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University will collaborate on identifying the genetic and metabolic networks controlling vegetative desiccation tolerance and inferring its evolutionary origin. Specifically, the researchers will determine global transcriptional and metabolic...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $207,000 provides funding for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026. The grant is awarded under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences. The fellowship will support research examining spatial and temporal variation in heavy metal and salt content accumulated by plant species across urban-rural gradients in North and...
