- 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 $332,924 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at the University of Nebraska from August 2022 to July 2025 investigating convergent evolution of mitochondrial cytochrome c maturation systems in plant and algal species. The research will use molecular biology, genetics, plant growth assays, and computational analysis to study numerous pathway switches and assess the mechanisms and evolutionary importance when there is...
- 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 $999,996 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports fundamental research aimed at generating "designer mitochondria" for biotechnology, healthcare, and basic research applications. The key objectives are to identify the factors required for human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication and characterize the mechanisms underlying the species-specificity of this process. This work represents a critical step...
- This $899,894 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program, CFDA 47.083, will support research to characterize the structure, membrane topology, substrate specificity, and biochemical properties of a unique mitochondrial HAD phosphatase enzyme in a divergent unicellular organism. The project aims to elucidate the dual functional roles of this enzyme, which may provide insights into the broader cellular functions of the related TIM50 protein...
- The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. received a $880,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The three-year award running from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026 will support research investigating the mechanistic origins and evolution of gene body DNA methylation in plant models. Specifically, the grantee will explore the roles of histone...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to the University of California, Santa Barbara on January 1, 2025 for $534,635.00, will fund research to investigate how whole genome duplication events in plants affect cellular energy production. The research seeks to understand the genetic underpinnings of plant energy production, which is complicated by the distribution of energy-related genes across the nucleus, chloroplasts, and mitochondria, as...
This $327,027 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into defining the functions of the essential ATAD3 protein in plant mitochondria. The University of Georgia Research Foundation will investigate how the AAA+ and ATAD3-N domains of the ATAD3 protein contribute to its essential roles by integrating mitochondrial function within the plant cell. Insights gained will further understanding of how ATAD3 proteins have evolved in plants to communicate between mitochondria and the wider cell. The award period is from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2026. The Biological Sciences program aims to advance the field and strengthen the national science enterprise through supporting basic biological research such as this project.
