The Regents of the University of California at Riverside were awarded a $3,125,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant period runs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025.

The grant supports research titled "Adapting Crops to a Harsh Environment: Interplay between Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, Drought Stress and Plasticity of Plant Architecture." The research aims to advance understanding of how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant architecture interact under drought conditions to promote crop resilience. Subawards of $49,999 or less were provided to Emory University and the University of Cambridge to support portions of the research.

The award is part of the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and enhance understanding of major problems. This research seeks to develop knowledge that could help crops better adapt to harsh environmental conditions like drought, an issue of increasing importance.
