This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) to study the relationship between legumes (such as soybeans, peas, and alfalfa) and rhizobia bacteria. The $265,001 project, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to identify the plant and bacterial genes that work together to control the efficiency of nitrogen fixation in this symbiotic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award to The Pennsylvania State University, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support research to improve understanding of the symbiotic relationship between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria. The $310,000 grant, awarded on September 1, 2023 for a 3-year period, will fund an integrative approach to identify the specific plant and bacterial genes that work together to control the efficiency of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by St. Catherine University to investigate the genes and mechanisms underlying the symbiotic relationship between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria. The $109,969 award, active from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will enable the researchers to conduct experiments examining 18 legume species and 2 rhizobia strains across different nitrogen...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences (CFDA# 47.074) program will fund a 3-year, $405,461 collaborative research project to decipher the host-environment dependencies in the legume-rhizobia symbiosis. The researchers at the Regents of the University of Minnesota will take an integrative approach to identify the plant and rhizobia genes that work together to control the efficacy of nitrogen...
This $183,857 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research to examine the diversity of partnerships between legume plants and rhizobial bacteria. The project aims to assess the compatibility between a wide variety of legume species and rhizobial strains, and identify genetic markers to track rhizobial diversity. This research is important for sustainable agriculture and the bioeconomy, as legumes play...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA Program 47.074, Biological Sciences) will provide $409,569 to the University of Illinois from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 to conduct collaborative research on deciphering the host- and environment-dependencies in the legume-rhizobia symbiosis. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Conducting manipulative experiments to measure the benefits...
This federal Project Grant award for $1,700,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Tennessee from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The award will support research to better understand the protein and amino acid composition of soybean seeds and the mechanisms underlying the "rebalancing" phenomenon, where soybean plants compensate for changes to their seed storage proteins. The project will collect...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program grant of $119,585 awarded to Loyola University of Chicago aims to advance the understanding of plant-microbiome interactions in legumes. The 5-year project will leverage forward and reverse genetic approaches to identify the genomic mechanisms that control plant-microbiome interactions in the model legume Medicago truncatula. Additionally, the project will provide research training for high school science teachers...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) in the amount of $690,103 provides funding to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to develop and test a predictive framework for understanding the synergistic benefits that legumes can derive from associating with both arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and rhizobia bacteria. The goal is to determine the environmental contexts under which legumes are likely to receive these...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $625,487 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to investigate terpene metabolism in the model legume Medicago truncatula. The 4-year project aims to enhance understanding of biosynthetic pathways for plant specialized metabolites and their role in plant communication and defense, with the potential to improve crop resilience and agricultural productivity. Key activities include:...
