- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will deliver programmed plants with novel approaches to control root growth and improve nitrogen use efficiency. The $640,474 award to the University of California, Davis (UEI: TX2DAGQPENZ5), running from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, will develop tools to engineer desirable nitrogen-responsive traits and quantify how an enhanced root system contributes to improved uptake and use...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $649,999 to Duke University to conduct collaborative research on transcription factor binding sites in plant organ formation. The goal is to create a semi-automated system to analyze gene activity across different plant organ types, such as roots, leaves, and flowers. The research will compare two plant species, define the role of a cell signaling pathway on gene function in...
- This $500,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to advance the understanding of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis between plants and fungi. The project aims to provide a mechanistic understanding of phosphate transport and its role in regulating this nutritionally-based mutualism, which has significant implications for...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $953,779 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to develop innovative data processing and advanced visualization tools for optimizing maize canopy architecture. The goal is to create a "digital twin" of maize plants that can simulate real plant growth and response to the environment. This will allow researchers to experiment with different plant traits and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $199,918 Project Grant to the University of Michigan under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of June 15, 2022 through May 31, 2024. The award will support the development of new computational tools and methods to map single-cell RNA sequencing data onto 3D spatial models of plant roots at ultra-high resolution. Researchers will leverage existing fluorescent reporter gene lines in Arabidopsis to perform...
- This $750,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support a collaborative research effort between UNC-Chapel Hill and international partners to conduct a comparative high-resolution analysis of transcription factor binding sites in plant organ formation. The primary objectives are to develop a semi-automated system to study gene activity across different plant organ types, compare findings across two plant species, and...
