The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $815,858 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System to conduct research on the role of non-canonical patatin-related phospholipase A (PPLA)-mediated acyl hydrolysis in plant functional morphology. The project aims to investigate the molecular and signaling processes that modulate cereal plant inflorescence architecture and seed production. Key objectives include determining the catalytic...
This three-year $1.28 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Washington State University to develop a quantitative understanding of lipid metabolic network structure, fluxes, and sub-cellular spatial organization in plant seeds. The goal is to elucidate how plants balance oil accumulation with membrane lipid synthesis to optimize seed oil production without affecting membrane properties. The project will...
This $448,710 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research in Ithaca, NY. The project aims to enhance the mechanistic understanding of phosphate transport and its regulatory role in the symbiotic relationship between plant roots and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Key objectives include evaluating candidate phosphate transporter proteins and their interactions,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Michigan State University to investigate the metabolic pathways that plants use to produce diverse aromatic compounds from carbon fixed during photosynthesis. The $823,311 award, effective June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027, aims to quantify carbon fluxes through the Calvin-Benson cycle and parallel shikimate and non-shikimate biosynthetic pathways that lead to aromatic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award in the amount of $700,000 focuses on understanding the variability and regulation of the plant polyadenylation complex, which plays a key role in plant gene expression and response to environmental stresses. The 3-year project, running from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027, will investigate how the composition and activity of this protein complex varies across different plant cell types and tissues, and how...
This $256,599 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports research to investigate the role of tree carbohydrate dynamics in drought recovery mechanisms. The project aims to develop the ability to remotely measure tree carbohydrates using hyperspectral imaging and predict drought recovery and survival before drought onset. Key research activities include greenhouse and field studies to examine how maintaining higher pre-drought...
Washington State University will receive $650,000 over four years from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program to study the role of the plastidial phosphorylase PHO1 and its L80 domain in controlling photosystem I activity and plant growth and development. The research aims to further the understanding of how PHO1 and its unique L80 peptide domain modulate photosynthesis...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program project grant to Yale University is focused on advancing understanding of stomatal regulation and photosynthesis in plants. The $258,877 award, running from February 2024 to January 2027, will employ a new laser-based technique to directly measure guard cell turgor pressure and elucidate the mechanisms controlling stomatal opening and closing across diverse plant lineages. This research aims to reveal fundamental biophysical...
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...
This Project Grant award from the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Michigan State University (MSU) to investigate the molecular mechanisms regulating early root growth in plants in response to phosphate (P) deficiency. The key objectives of this $907,847 award, with a period of performance from June 2024 to May 2027, are to: 1) determine the transcriptional and...
