The National Science Foundation awarded a $835,320 Project Grant to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period January 15, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The grant will support research studying the mechanisms of transport through plasmodesmata in plant cells. Specifically, the grantee will examine the transport of messenger RNAs that encode homeodomain transcription factors, which are important for plant growth and stem cell...
This $400,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program will support research at Iowa State University to investigate the function of plant cell-to-cell communication channels, known as plasmodesmata, as hubs for reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling. The project aims to determine how the hydrogen peroxide sensor HPCA1 regulates hydrogen peroxide transport through plasmodesmata by modulating aquaporin proteins. This...

The project aims to define...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $276,000 supports a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology studying the role of sphingolipids in membrane trafficking and plasma membrane dynamics in plants. The fellowship funding will allow the fellow to conduct research and receive training from July 2022 to June 2024 analyzing how sphingolipids participate in membrane remodeling and cell-to-cell communication processes in Arabidopsis thaliana plants. The fellow will employ genetic, molecular,...
This $816,954 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Purdue University from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to understand how plant cells perceive signals from their environment and scale responses to promote beneficial interactions and discourage harmful interactions. Specifically, the project will test the conservation of the Feronia/MLO signaling module in plant-biotic interactions and...
This $1,269,993 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the molecular basis of how plant cells establish the division plane during cell division. The project aims to dissect the function of cytoskeletal motor assemblies at the cortical division site and determine how they connect to molecules in the phragmoplast, the structure that forms the new cell wall during cytokinesis. Researchers at...
This $322,978 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to enhance the capabilities of the E3-DART protein degradation system to control protein abundance in plant cells. The research will optimize the E3-DART system to be chemically controlled and used in proof-of-concept experiments to study endomembrane protein function and secretory protein trafficking in plants. The award will support the development of this...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Program Project Grant award to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, will investigate how chloroplast retrograde signaling in living plant cells operates during plant immunity and how pathogens interfere with this process.
