This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program project grant to Yale University is focused on advancing understanding of stomatal regulation and photosynthesis in plants. The $258,877 award, running from February 2024 to January 2027, will employ a new laser-based technique to directly measure guard cell turgor pressure and elucidate the mechanisms controlling stomatal opening and closing across diverse plant lineages. This research aims to reveal fundamental biophysical...
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...
