- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $637,156.00 to Portland State University to conduct collaborative research on how plant reproduction and development contribute to evolution and adaptation. The project will explore how natural selection during the haploid gametophytic and embryonic stages of plant reproduction can influence the inheritance of genetic traits, seedling fitness, and the potential for...
- This federal Project Grant award of $249,000.00 was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship. The fellowship, titled "Studying a Local Species to Prepare for a Global Crisis: Unfurling Mechanisms of Desiccation Tolerance from the Resurrection Fern Pleopeltis," will be hosted by the Baylor College of Medicine under the sponsorship of Dr. Steven Boeynaems. The research aims to characterize...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) in the amount of $399,531 will fund research by Purdue University to uncover the fundamental processes guiding the formation and maintenance of diverse meristems in fern plants. The 2-year project, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, aims to identify key regulators that are either shared across plant lineages or unique to ferns, in order to enhance the understanding of...
- This $223,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. Over a four-year period ending in February 2027, the University of Arizona will investigate how seed chemistry, environmental conditions, and genetic factors determine outcomes of seed-fungal relationships in tropical forests. Researchers will use metabolomics and assays to study seed...
