The National Science Foundation awarded a $835,320 Project Grant to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period January 15, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The grant will support research studying the mechanisms of transport through plasmodesmata in plant cells. Specifically, the grantee will examine the transport of messenger RNAs that encode homeodomain transcription factors, which are important for plant growth and stem cell...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $910,000 project grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, to conduct research on the control of shoot apex indeterminacy by the Terminal Flower1 gene. This work, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to advance fundamental knowledge on how the maintenance or differentiation of stem cells in the plant shoot apex is regulated. The research...
This $959,997 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to develop improved methods for plant transformation and regeneration. The research aims to provide a thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying regeneration in maize, a key crop that provides a substantial portion of human caloric intake. By exploiting a "morphogenic-based"...
This Project Grant award of $750,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research between U.S. and Swiss investigators to develop a high-throughput platform for identifying transcription factor binding sites during plant lateral organ development. The goal is to create a semi-automated system to determine which genes are active in different plant organ types, such as roots, leaves, and flowers, across two divergent plant...
This Project Grant award, totaling $1,150,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The funding supports a collaborative research effort led by the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center to develop and share high-resolution in situ 3D cryogenic workflows to transform plant cell biology research. The goal is to overcome challenges in cryopreservation of plant tissue samples to enable unprecedented observation of plant cell...
This $735,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Cornell University to investigate the functional interactions of plant transcription factors that regulate the three-dimensional patterning of grass leaves. The research aims to understand the mechanisms by which the LG1 and WOX3 transcription factors coordinate leaf width, length, and angle, which directly impact photosynthesis and leaf morphology in maize. The...
This Project Grant award for $1,115,181 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Washington University in University City, Missouri. The project, titled "Linking Biomolecular Condensates with Nutrient Signaling and Epigenome Dynamics in Arabidopsis", aims to investigate how plants use microscale cellular compartments called biomolecular condensates to sense their environment and adapt their epigenomes for improved fitness,...
This $451,139 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports the development of a new biotechnology called Transposase-Assisted Homology-Independent Targeted Insertion (TAHITI) for intragenic genome engineering of plants. The research aims to improve crop traits like disease resistance and yield by precisely inserting DNA sequences sourced from the same plant species, rather than relying on transgenic approaches that introduce...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $649,999 to Duke University to develop a semi-automated system for determining gene activity across different plant organ types. The goal is to understand the common and distinct functions of plant genes in the development of lateral organs like roots, leaves, and flowers. The project will compare two plant species and examine how cell signaling pathways shape organ...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $680,000 in funding to Yale University to conduct research on regulating stem cell patterning and activity in citrus plants. The key activities under this 3-year award, running from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, involve assessing auxin distribution and activity in citrus, experimenting to perturb auxin action, and...
