This Project Grant award of $673,114 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project investigating the role of extracellular RNA (exRNA) produced by plants and its potential function in plant immune systems. The project aims to: 1) determine how plants secrete RNA and identify conserved exRNAs across diverse plant species, 2) assess whether post-transcriptional modifications are required for exRNA secretion,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $810,001 project grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to study the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in regulating plant gene expression and response to bacterial pathogens. The 4-year project aims to characterize the addition and removal of m6A on plant RNAs and investigate how these epitranscriptomic processes impact a plant's ability to recognize and respond to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $919,999 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. This 3-year grant, beginning September 1, 2023, supports research to investigate the evolution and functional role of small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) in diverse bacterial lineages, particularly those living symbiotically within pest insect hosts. The project aims to determine how sRNA sequence divergence and...
