This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $759,465 in funding to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on the molecular mechanisms of stomatal CO2 signal transduction in plants. The research aims to identify proteins and genes of a recently discovered CO2 sensor in order to determine the cellular signaling processes through which carbon dioxide regulates plant water loss and CO2 intake. The...
This four-year, $643,306 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research into alternative leaf water use strategies employed by plants in hot environments. The grantee, Desert Botanical Garden Inc., will quantify alternative water use behavior across diverse species to determine how common it is for plants to prioritize leaf cooling over photosynthesis when temperatures are high. The research aims to improve modeling of vegetation...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $192,052 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to investigate the cellular and biomechanical mechanisms of rapid stomatal dynamics in grasses. The project will utilize molecular genetics, cell biology, computer vision, mechanical testing, and computational modeling techniques to gain a better understanding of how...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a 3-year, $107,203 Project Grant to the University of Utah under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. This collaborative research project will quantify alternative water use strategies employed by plants in hot environments to avoid heat damage. The research aims to: (1) determine the prevalence of these strategies across diverse plant species, (2) identify key traits that predict this behavior,...
This $680,134 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the University of California, Davis examining the effects of phenological shifts on plant-insect interactions due to climate change. The grantee will use herbarium specimens collected over the past hundred years and an experimental garden mimicking past, present and future climatic conditions to assess potential novel species interactions resulting from changes...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $850,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to investigate the cellular and biomechanical mechanisms underlying rapid stomatal dynamics in grasses. This research aims to enhance understanding of how the microscopic pores called stomata, which regulate photosynthesis and water transport in crops, rapidly open and close in...
This Project Grant award, totaling $738,601, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The goal of the grant is to increase crop yield, specifically in soybeans, under conditions of heat stress and drought by enhancing the plants' ability to cool their reproductive organs. The key products and services to be delivered include: Conducting an integrated analysis of soybean plants subjected to various stress conditions, focusing on...
This $398,984 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to quantify the biophysical, physiological, and phenological impacts of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on vegetation and their effects on future climate change. The research utilizes the Community Earth System Model to examine the direct impacts of CO2 fertilization and stomatal closure, as well as the indirect effects of a longer growing season, on...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting June 1, 2025 to investigate how an alpine plant species in the Rocky Mountains will respond and adapt to climate change. The research aims to understand how population responses to microclimate variation impact range shifts under climate change scenarios. The project will use field and greenhouse experiments, genetic analyses, and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $121,025 to the New York Botanical Garden to understand the effects of ploidal level on plant responses to global change. The research will investigate how polyploidy affects fern species' ability to respond to increased temperature and decreased water availability through drought simulations. Gene expression and physiological responses to drought and heat will be measured for six...
