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 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 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...
This $445,676 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Rutgers University, Camden investigating the role of the plant hormone abscisic acid in stomatal formation using a drought-tolerant mutant plant. The goal is to gain new insights into how drought controls stomatal numbers to improve plant drought tolerance. Four undergraduate students from underserved communities will conduct much of the research under faculty mentorship. The students will also help develop a new...
This $400,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the effects of unsteady wind and surface morphology on plant transpiration. Funded under the Biological Sciences program of the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, the three-year award running from September 2021 to August 2024 will examine how external abiotic conditions affect internal fluid flows within plants. Cornell University is the primary awardee and will collaborate with President and Fellows of...
Colorado State University will provide research, education, and outreach services under a $622,699 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the NSF Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and aims to facilitate the prediction and validation of plant enzyme functions through three key activities. First, CSU will deposit published plant enzyme activities into public databases to support computational function...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $455,612 to Purdue University to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of guard cell turgor and the rise of angiosperms. The research aims to develop a new method to directly measure guard cell turgor pressures across different plant lineages, in order to better understand the regulation of stomatal opening and closing in response to environmental stresses...
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...
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...
Northeastern University will conduct collaborative research on genome editing approaches to unravel microRNA roles in stochastic multistable networks, under a $896,200 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The grant was awarded on July 15, 2021 for a period of four years under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). As part of its mission to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise, the Biological Sciences...
