This $959,997 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying plant regeneration, with a focus on maize. The goal is to identify key genes and pathways that regulate the ability of plant cells to reprogram and develop into new plants, which is particularly challenging for some crop species. The research will exploit a...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $179,150 Project Grant to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of June 15, 2022 through May 31, 2024. The award will support the development of new computational tools and methods to translate single-cell RNA sequencing data into an ultra-high resolution 3D spatial map of gene expression in plant roots. Specifically, the grantee will leverage existing fluorescent...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $532,603 awarded to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center on October 1, 2021 will fund research into the role of chloroplast signaling in regulating plasmodesmata. The goal is to identify chloroplast signals that change nuclear gene expression and define nuclear gene networks and signaling modules that alter plasmodesmata structure and function. The research will use reverse genetics, bioinformatics, molecular and biochemical approaches, and...
This $1,269,993 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the molecular basis of how plant cells establish the division plane during cell division. The project aims to dissect the function of cytoskeletal motor assemblies at the cortical division site and determine how they connect to molecules in the phragmoplast, the structure that forms the new cell wall during cytokinesis. Researchers at...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $900,000 Project Grant to Texas A&M Agrilife Research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2025. The funding will support research focusing on the role of Coat Protein Complex I in transporting enzymes involved in regulatory functions like mRNA degradation and protein synthesis inhibition within plant cells. The grantee aims to elucidate how COPI contributes to miRNA-mediated RNA...
This $270,241 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research conducted by Trustees of Dartmouth College to characterize evolutionarily conserved plant signaling modules that underlie organ development. The 5-year project, running from June 2025 through May 2030, will utilize the non-seed plant model Physcomitrium patens and genome editing techniques to map signaling pathways from novel peptides to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,000 in funding to Western University of Health Sciences to conduct collaborative research on the variability and regulation of the plant polyadenylation complex. The research aims to better understand how this complex mediates gene expression and plant responses to environmental and developmental cues, with the goal of improving our knowledge of crop plant growth,...
This $1.7 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on the regulation of exocytic membrane trafficking required for cytokinesis and polarized cell expansion in plants. Specifically, the research will focus on understanding how delivery of materials needed for plasma membrane formation and maintenance is controlled in dividing and expanding plant cells. The project aims to define...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $977,252.00 and awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports fundamental research on microtubule nucleation and patterning in plant cells. The project is examining how microtubule arrays on the inner surface of plant cell walls template the deposition of cellulose microfibrils, which determines cell expansion and overall plant morphology. Using a genetically tractable plant system, the research...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems totals $671,563 to support research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on the mechanism of trehalose control of shoot development in plants. The goals of the research are to investigate the structural organization and coordination of enzymatic complexes involved in trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) metabolism and signaling pathways that regulate plant growth processes. By providing insights...
