This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $399,116 to the University of Oregon to investigate the genetic and genomic factors underlying the repeated evolution of red flowers in the Mimulus aurantiacus plant species complex. The key products of this 3-year project, which runs from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2028, include identifying candidate mutations controlling the flower color trait, mapping epistasis, and...
This $794,457 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of new genetic analysis tools. The goal is to incorporate molecular and cellular biology knowledge, such as gene expression patterns and regulatory networks, directly into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype relationships. The research will be conducted using simulated...
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...
