The Pennsylvania State University received a $1.8 million Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The award is for the project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RESEARCH-PGR: GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-INDUCED FUNCTIONAL VARIATION IN THE RICE RNA STRUCTUROME" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074).
The project aims to advance understanding of major problems in biological sciences by investigating genetic and environmental influences on functional variation in the rice transcriptome. Specifically, the award will support research examining how genetic and environmental factors impact the RNA structures and functions in rice. Findings could provide insights with broad implications for plant biology. The four-year project award period began October 1, 2021 and is scheduled to conclude by September 30, 2025.
