North Carolina State University will receive $323,984 over five years from the National Science Foundation to conduct research on plant-pollinator-pathogen dynamics under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to integrate molecular, cellular, organismal and community scales to better understand how plants structure pollinator and pathogen interactions. The Biological Sciences program supports basic research to advance knowledge in biology and strengthen the nation's...
This Project Grant award of $1,513,696.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to discover microbial genes that can enhance the ability of microbes to colonize and survive on plant roots. The project aims to identify genes that, when added to microbes that cannot normally survive on plant roots, enable those microbes to persist longer and provide long-term benefits to crop growth and productivity. The research will be conducted...
This $851,545 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) with a start date of September 1, 2024 and an expected completion date of August 31, 2027. The grant supports research to understand the mechanisms by which beneficial bacteria in the plant microbiome interact with and modulate the plant immune system. Key objectives include investigating how a common...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) to study the relationship between legumes (such as soybeans, peas, and alfalfa) and rhizobia bacteria. The $265,001 project, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to identify the plant and bacterial genes that work together to control the efficiency of nitrogen fixation in this symbiotic...
The National Science Foundation awarded an $899,970 project grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. on March 15, 2021 for research concluding on February 29, 2024. The grant supports research into the genetics and mechanisms of microbe-dependent heterosis, or hybrid vigor, in corn. Subawards were provided to North Carolina State University to conduct experiments inoculating corn with microbial communities and...
This $183,857 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research to examine the diversity of partnerships between legume plants and rhizobial bacteria. The project aims to assess the compatibility between a wide variety of legume species and rhizobial strains, and identify genetic markers to track rhizobial diversity. This research is important for sustainable agriculture and the bioeconomy, as legumes play...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by St. Catherine University to investigate the genes and mechanisms underlying the symbiotic relationship between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria. The $109,969 award, active from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will enable the researchers to conduct experiments examining 18 legume species and 2 rhizobia strains across different nitrogen...
