The Pennsylvania State University received a $1.2 million Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on November 1, 2021 to complete the project by October 31, 2025. The grant is funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Under this award, Penn State researchers will apply error management theory to understand the evolution of decision-making in plant defense. The researchers will analyze how plants manage risks and trade-offs when mounting immune responses against pathogens and herbivores. Outcomes of the research should provide new insights into the adaptive significance and evolutionary consequences of imperfect decision-making in plant immunity.
