This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $921,054 supports research to develop new biological functions through engineering plant hormone receptors. Led by the Regents of the University of California, Riverside under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the project engineers plant sensors to recognize pharmaceuticals and dietary molecules. It then uses these sensors to design "sentinel cells" that indicate molecule presence through color changes. Specifically, the...
