This $900,052 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences will fund research into the molecular mechanisms governing cytoskeleton-mediated motility and distribution of peroxisomes and mitochondria in plants. The grant supports three years of collaborative research between Michigan State University and its sub-awardee to advance understanding of how these organelles recruit cytoskeletal motor proteins for directional transport along...
This $1,269,993 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the molecular basis of how plant cells establish the division plane during cell division. The project aims to dissect the function of cytoskeletal motor assemblies at the cortical division site and determine how they connect to molecules in the phragmoplast, the structure that forms the new cell wall during cytokinesis. Researchers at...
This $638,454 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Dartmouth College to define the functions of an essential, conserved mitochondrial protein that links the organelle's matrix to the cytoplasm. Over three years, the researchers will investigate how specific mitochondrial components integrate mitochondrial function within plant cells, focusing on the roles of ATAD3 proteins that span the inner and outer...
The National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded University of Central Arkansas a $343,292 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2027.
