This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program award of $826,720 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) aims to investigate the mechanisms that regulate plant cell division positioning, which is required for plant growth and development. The research seeks to understand how two proteins, TAN1 and AIR9, mediate division plane positioning in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Specifically, the project will assess whether...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $921,054 supports research to develop new biological functions through engineering plant hormone receptors. Led by the Regents of the University of California, Riverside under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the project engineers plant sensors to recognize pharmaceuticals and dietary molecules. It then uses these sensors to design "sentinel cells" that indicate molecule presence through color changes. Specifically, the...
The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, received a $950,013 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on January 15, 2021 to fund research understanding the protein composition and dynamics of the nuclear envelope in plants. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,000 in funding to Western University of Health Sciences to conduct collaborative research on the variability and regulation of the plant polyadenylation complex. The research aims to better understand how this complex mediates gene expression and plant responses to environmental and developmental cues, with the goal of improving our knowledge of crop plant growth,...
This $120,227 Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at Northeastern University to develop new theoretical models for studying the three-dimensional architecture and conformational dynamics of genes and genomes. The overarching goals are to: (i) accurately model the mechanics of chromatin at the gene scale, (ii) examine how genomic conformations are affected by factors like...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of California, Davis a $981,302 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) on May 15, 2022 to complete the project by April 30, 2026. The grant will support research aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms governing cytoskeleton-mediated motility and distribution of peroxisomes and mitochondria in plants. Specifically, the university researchers will investigate the roles of candidate proteins...
This $249,000 National Science Foundation project grant funds the development of computational and experimental tools to engineer gene expression in rice. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award supports a postdoctoral fellowship held by David Ding at the University of California, Berkeley from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The fellow will create a pipeline to understand regulatory mutations in plants at scale, coupled with high-throughput experimental assays. A...
This $401,250 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) aims to advance the understanding of the nuclear pore complex's (NPC) role in undifferentiated cell proliferation and gene regulation. The research team at the University of California, Berkeley will leverage an integrated proteomic, molecular, genetic, and bioinformatic approach to: Elucidate how the newly identified NPC membrane...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $381,493 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site focused on next-generation cell biology of plants and plant pathogens. The three-year award, which runs from March 2021 through February 2024, will fund research experiences and training for undergraduate students in major problems related to plant...
