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 (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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award to The Pennsylvania State University, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support research to improve understanding of the symbiotic relationship between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria. The $310,000 grant, awarded on September 1, 2023 for a 3-year period, will fund an integrative approach to identify the specific plant and bacterial genes that work together to control the efficiency of...
This $1,453,830 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to discover and test microbial genes that can improve the long-term colonization and benefits of plant-associated microbes on crop roots. The research will be conducted by North Carolina State University and include sub-awards to the University of Kansas. Key activities include: Generating functional metagenomic libraries from soil and rhizosphere DNA to explore the...
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 key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Conducting manipulative experiments to measure the benefits...
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 $275,617 project grant under its Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Kansas State University. The grant will fund a collaborative research project to develop and test a predictive framework for synergistic benefits that legume plants can derive from simultaneously interacting with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and rhizobia bacteria. The research aims to understand the environmental contexts in which legumes receive these complementary...
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 $690,103 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort to build and test predictions of the context dependence of synergistic benefits to plants from multiple microbial symbionts. The key objectives are to: Develop a predictive framework for synergistic benefits within the legume-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)-rhizobia system. This will advance understanding of how legumes can derive...
This $452,947 project grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research at Clark University from September 2022 through August 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to examine transgenerational effects as a mechanism for partner choice in the legume-rhizobia mutualism. Specifically, the project will study whether previous exposure to specific rhizobia strains and their efficacy informs subsequent generations of bearded clover host plants'...
