This $506,900 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of California, Davis to understand the molecular mechanisms of plant immune response to herbivore-associated peptide elicitors. The three-year award beginning June 1, 2022 will leverage a newly discovered pattern recognition receptor in common beans, INR, to quantify its contribution to overall herbivore defense against caterpillars. Researchers will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) grant award to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) aims to advance the understanding of how plants recognize and respond to infection by plant parasitic nematodes, one of the most destructive plant pathogens causing an estimated $78 billion in global annual losses. The $796,385 project, running from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027, will identify nematode-derived molecules that activate plant innate immunity...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $519,457 project grant to the University of California Irvine to research plant herbivore defense syndromes mediated by canopy structural complexity. This three-year award, made under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from January 2021 through December 2024 to promote understanding of major problems confronting the nation by increasing scientific knowledge of how plant canopy structure impacts defenses against...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award, valued at $726,093 and spanning from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2028, is funding research by the University of Washington to develop programmable and tunable regulatory elements for predictive gene expression in plants. The goals are to: Create a large repertoire of synthetic regulatory elements using massively parallel reporter assays, machine learning, and in silico evolution. Precisely control gene...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,720,000 project grant to the University of Maryland, College Park under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for research titled "Collaborative Research: Research-PGR: Genome-Wide Quest for Non-Host Resistance Mechanisms in Plants." Over a three-year period ending December 2026, the university will conduct research to elucidate the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying non-host resistance in plants against fungal pathogens....
This Project Grant award of $448,286.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Williams College, located in Williamstown, MA. The project, titled "CAREER: Engineering Plant Anthranilate Ester Synthesis and Perception for Herbivore Defense," aims to advance the fundamental understanding of how plants produce, recognize, and interact with anthranilates - a class of natural compounds with potential anti-herbivore and...
This $230,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research into non-host resistance mechanisms in plants. Over its three-year period from January 2023 to December 2026, the collaborative research project will use innovative forward and reverse genetics approaches to dissect the genetic and molecular mechanisms of non-host resistance against potential fungal pathogens in...
This $816,954 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Purdue University from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to understand how plant cells perceive signals from their environment and scale responses to promote beneficial interactions and discourage harmful interactions. Specifically, the project will test the conservation of the Feronia/MLO signaling module in plant-biotic interactions and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Program Project Grant award to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, will investigate how chloroplast retrograde signaling in living plant cells operates during plant immunity and how pathogens interfere with this process. The $135,322 award, effective October 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024, will leverage advanced live-imaging microscopy technologies at the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $673,114 to the University of California, Davis to investigate the role of extracellular RNA produced by plants. The project aims to address fundamental questions about how plants secrete RNA and the function of this secreted RNA, with a focus on the hypothesis that it plays a role in plant immunity against fungi and bacteria. The research will analyze extracellular RNA...
