This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program ($752,399) will fund research from January 2022 to December 2024 at North Carolina State University to delineate the molecular mechanisms underlying systemic iron homeostasis in plants. The researchers will characterize the molecular and intracellular dynamics of the iron-binding ubiquitin ligase Brutus and its transcription factor targets in plant roots in response to iron availability. They will determine the...
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,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Dartmouth College to investigate how plants integrate signals related to iron availability and light conditions. The $809,225 award made on March 1, 2024 will support experiments to understand the role of the URI protein in regulating iron uptake and utilization by plants. The research aims to improve understanding of how plants coordinate their responses to iron...
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 $5 million National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), funds research and educational activities related to leaf angle variation in maize plants from 2022-2026. Iowa State University will lead efforts to identify genes controlling leaf angle variation across plant canopies using high-throughput phenotyping and transcriptomic analyses. Functional validation of candidate genes will be conducted through CRISPR-based gene editing....
This $263,431 project grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program will support collaborative research at California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. to study soybean's signaling responses to phosphate and iron deficiency. The objective is to apply quantitative phosphoproteomics techniques to identify the differentially phosphorylated proteins that regulate how soybeans sense and respond to these nutrient stresses. This research aims to bridge...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $1,384,257 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant funding will support a research project focused on understanding the mechanisms of nutrient sensing and homeostasis in plants. Key objectives include identifying the pathways by which plants respond to low potassium and high magnesium levels, and how...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,199,053 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to the University of Florida to develop interactive machine learning tools to support plant scientists in analyzing data from minirhizotron imaging systems. The project aims to optimize the human-machine interaction for labeling and interpreting plant root imagery, enabling more efficient utilization of sensor data for research on plant adaptation and...
This $735,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Cornell University to investigate the functional interactions of plant transcription factors that regulate the three-dimensional patterning of grass leaves. The research aims to understand the mechanisms by which the LG1 and WOX3 transcription factors coordinate leaf width, length, and angle, which directly impact photosynthesis and leaf morphology in maize. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $953,779 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to develop innovative data processing and advanced visualization tools for optimizing maize canopy architecture. The goal is to create a "digital twin" of maize plants that can simulate real plant growth and response to the environment. This will allow researchers to experiment with different plant traits and...
