This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,255,705 will support research at the University of Missouri System from August 2022 to July 2025 to advance understanding of autonomous leaf-specific iron deficiency responses in plants. Funded through the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the project aims to identify transcriptional complexes necessary to regulate iron homeostasis in leaves through time-series gene expression analysis, high-throughput DNA-protein and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $750,000 to the University of Missouri System from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research among multiple institutions to elucidate the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying nonhost resistance in plants. Nonhost resistance confers broad immunity to most plant species against pathogens that can infect other species. The research aims to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $216,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Role of Vegetative Development on Plant Response to Environmental Stress from Genomic and Physiological Perspectives" from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The three-year award will fund postdoctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia exploring how plant vegetative development influences responses to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $846,276 project grant to the University of Missouri System under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support research titled "Regulation of the Early Steps of Wound-Activated Jasmonate Biosynthesis." The two-year project beginning January 15, 2022 and ending December 31, 2024 aims to advance understanding of plant defense responses to wounding through investigation of the early enzymatic steps in jasmonate...
This $816,954 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Purdue University from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to understand how plant cells perceive signals from their environment and scale responses to promote beneficial interactions and discourage harmful interactions. Specifically, the project will test the conservation of the Feronia/MLO signaling module in plant-biotic interactions and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $815,858 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System to conduct research on the role of non-canonical patatin-related phospholipase A (PPLA)-mediated acyl hydrolysis in plant functional morphology. The project aims to investigate the molecular and signaling processes that modulate cereal plant inflorescence architecture and seed production. Key objectives include determining the catalytic...
This Project Grant award of $851,545.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research to investigate how beneficial bacteria interact with and influence plant immune systems. The research aims to address three key questions: 1) how does the bacterium Sphingomonas colonize plants while evading the plant immune response, 2) how do beneficial bacteria suppress the plant immune system, and 3) how do beneficial microbes alter their gene...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $2,153,626 supports research at Michigan State University from July 2022 to June 2026 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The funding will enable investigation of lipid-derived signaling involving chloroplasts in plants and the integration of biotic and abiotic stress responses. Graduate and undergraduate students will conduct experiments to isolate plant mutants and characterize their responses to stressors like cold, heat,...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $115,172 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct collaborative research on soybean's response to phosphate and iron deficiency. The objective is to use quantitative phosphoproteomics to unravel the signaling pathways underlying soybean's sensing and immediate response to these nutrient stresses. This research aims to help develop soybean...

This $1,242,385 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at the University of Missouri System to coordinate plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. The research aims to understand how plants prioritize and integrate signals from diverse environmental stresses like low nutrient availability and bacterial pathogens. A team of researchers with expertise in iron nutrition, bacterial pathogen responses, cellular biology, and plant signaling will examine changes in individual cells, specific tissues, and communication between leaves and roots under different stress conditions. The goal is to determine how and where biotic and abiotic stress signals are integrated to impact nutrient transporter levels and overall crop yields. Insights could improve agricultural production by avoiding unintended stress susceptibility from breeding focused on single stressors. The award period is from September 15, 2022 to August 31, 2025.
