The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded $206,971 to the University of California, Merced under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The four-year project grant will support collaborative research to harness adaptive genetic variation in drought resistance strategies to manage plant populations under climate change. Researchers will characterize how genetic variation acts through regulatory networks to adaptively tune organismal strategies to local drought conditions. Field experiments will evaluate how genetic and organismal factors enhance plant fitness under current and predicted future drought regimes. All experiments will inform the construction and validation of predictive frameworks to promote population resilience to climate change through assisted gene flow practices. The research aims to preserve biological diversity in the face of increasing climate change impacts.
