The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania received a $526,084 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences. Under the award, the University will conduct collaborative research to predict plant phenotypes from molecular profiles using topological data analysis and deep learning. Researchers will use X-ray computed tomography to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project to study how plant hormones regulate rapid growth and development of stamen filaments in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The $651,000 grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, awarded on February 15, 2024, will examine the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling stamen filament elongation as flowers open, a critical process for...
This $290,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program is supporting research to study how plant hormones stimulate rapid growth in stamen filaments, the male flower organs that produce pollen. The project aims to examine the cellular and molecular events during stamen filament elongation, revealing how this growth is controlled by hormones and coordinated with pollen release. Key activities include using advanced microscopy, gene expression...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems totals $671,563 to support research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on the mechanism of trehalose control of shoot development in plants. The goals of the research are to investigate the structural organization and coordination of enzymatic complexes involved in trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) metabolism and signaling pathways that regulate plant growth processes. By providing insights...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a 4-year, $2,670,305 Project Grant titled "TRTECH-PGR: REPROGRAMMING THE PLANT CELL WITH TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS" under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). This project aims to systematically assess the effects of ectopically expressing thousands of maize transcription factors on gene expression and physiological responses in plant tissues. The research will use...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $549,151 Project Grant to the University of South Carolina under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2026. The grant will support research investigating transcriptional control of growth regulatory modules by AINTEGUMENTA transcription factors in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The university will examine how these transcription factors directly regulate expression of genes from different growth...
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 $1,000,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Emerging Frontiers will fund research into the role of PRC2 and SWI/SNF chromatin regulators in enabling plant adaptability to changing environments like drought and heat stress. The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania will conduct the research from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The research aims to elucidate how the plant epigenome is altered in response to environmental stress and will generate novel...
This $250,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling cell fate decisions during inflorescence (flower-bearing structure) development in panicoid cereal crops like corn, wheat, and rice. The key objective is to leverage the model grass Setaria viridis to dissect the genetic module involving the RAMOSA1 transcription factor and growth hormones that...
This $225,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences will fund research into the detailed characterization of topologically associating domain (TAD) boundaries in eukaryotic genomes. The grant supports the Biological Sciences program, which aims to increase scientific knowledge of major biological problems. The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, will...
