- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) to study the relationship between legumes (such as soybeans, peas, and alfalfa) and rhizobia bacteria. The $265,001 project, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to identify the plant and bacterial genes that work together to control the efficiency of nitrogen fixation in this symbiotic...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by St. Catherine University to investigate the genes and mechanisms underlying the symbiotic relationship between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria. The $109,969 award, active from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will enable the researchers to conduct experiments examining 18 legume species and 2 rhizobia strains across different nitrogen...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences (CFDA# 47.074) program will fund a 3-year, $405,461 collaborative research project to decipher the host-environment dependencies in the legume-rhizobia symbiosis. The researchers at the Regents of the University of Minnesota will take an integrative approach to identify the plant and rhizobia genes that work together to control the efficacy of nitrogen...
- This $183,857 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research to examine the diversity of partnerships between legume plants and rhizobial bacteria. The project aims to assess the compatibility between a wide variety of legume species and rhizobial strains, and identify genetic markers to track rhizobial diversity. This research is important for sustainable agriculture and the bioeconomy, as legumes play...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 4-year, $191,371 Project Grant to the University of Florida to conduct research on the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis between plants and bacteria. This grant is funded through the NSF Division of Biological Sciences and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program. The key objectives of this project are to: 1) provide a data-intensive framework to understand how plants and bacteria form nitrogen-fixing partnerships and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA Program 47.074, Biological Sciences) will provide $409,569 to the University of Illinois from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 to conduct collaborative research on deciphering the host- and environment-dependencies in the legume-rhizobia symbiosis.

The research...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000.00, to be carried out from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research will focus on quantifying the diversity and climate change response in the Chamaecrista fasciculata-rhizobial symbiosis. The project will leverage the partridge pea plant and its associated rhizobial bacteria to evaluate how climate change impacts plant-microbial interactions, with the goal of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal Project Grant award of $1,180,492 to the University of Pennsylvania will fund research to investigate how beneficial microbes affect the evolution of plant defense traits. The project aims to determine how genetic variation in microbial symbionts influences heritable variation in host plant defense characteristics, such as leaf hairs that protect against insect damage. Additionally, the project will train...
