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...
This $384,882 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research on the spatial and temporal dynamics of infectious processes in the Microbotryum complex of fungal plant pathogens. The research focuses on comparing infections of host plants by specialist and generalist Microbotryum species, collecting data throughout the lifecycle via microscopy, proteomics, transcriptomics, and RNA editing analysis. The project...
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 Project Grant award, titled "EVOLUTIONARY DYNAMICS OF POLYCISTRONIC GENE EXPRESSION IN ARCHAEPLASTIDA: IMPLICATIONS FOR STRESS ADAPTATION AND EVOLUTION," was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The $239,602 award, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2030, supports research activities to: 1) Generate a map of the polycistron landscape across key Archaeplastida species using long-read sequencing and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $600,000 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska aims to identify the antimicrobial molecules produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas protegens PBL3 and understand how they inhibit the growth of the plant pathogen Burkholderia glumae, which causes devastating bacterial panicle blight disease in rice. The project will employ multi-disciplinary approaches including genetics, comparative...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award provides $497,039 to Valdosta State University to investigate the biochemical mechanisms by which reactive oxygen species activate the GCN2 protein kinase and its role in regulating protein synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant system. The research aims to enhance understanding of plant stress responses and translational control mechanisms, which could contribute to developing...
This $300,000 federal Project Grant award under the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will be used by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct research on the molecular mechanisms and evolution of Type 6 Secretion System (T6SS) toxins and immunity proteins in phytopathogenic Ralstonia bacteria. The central objective is to understand how these toxin warfare strategies enable Ralstonia to successfully compete against other...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $810,001 project grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to study the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in regulating plant gene expression and response to bacterial pathogens. The 4-year project aims to characterize the addition and removal of m6A on plant RNAs and investigate how these epitranscriptomic processes impact a plant's ability to recognize and respond to...
This $275,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFDA program titled "NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships" aims to develop a targeted biological pesticide for controlling Pythium pathogens in hydroponic greenhouse production of leafy greens. The project will assemble a collection of diverse Pythium pathogen isolates, evaluate 10 Pseudomonad biocontrol strains, and identify the genetic basis for their host-specific killing ability to...
