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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000.00, to be carried out from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research will focus on quantifying the diversity and climate change response in the Chamaecrista fasciculata-rhizobial symbiosis. The project will leverage the partridge pea plant and its associated rhizobial bacteria to evaluate how climate change impacts plant-microbial interactions, with the goal of...
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 (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 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 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to the University of New Mexico, is supporting a long-term study on the symbiotic relationship between grasses and their fungal microbes. The $188,491 grant, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, is testing the hypothesis that the effects of microbial symbionts on their host plants fluctuate annually, providing beneficial impacts in stressful years but neutral or costly effects in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program has awarded a $119,585 Project Grant to Loyola University of Chicago to conduct research on the genomic basis of plant-microbiome interactions in legumes. The 5-year grant, starting on March 1, 2025, aims to identify the genetic mechanisms that control plant-microbiome interactions in the model legume Medicago truncatula. The project will leverage forward and reverse genetic approaches to investigate the role of...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to support postdoctoral research titled "From Genomes to Phenomes: The Rules of Life That Govern Bacterial-Fungal-Plant Symbioses." The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increased knowledge and understanding of major problems. The grant will fund research from October...
