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...
Northeastern State University (NSU) was awarded a $126,044 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences to conduct collaborative research on the cellular and biomechanical mechanisms of rapid stomatal dynamics in grasses. This 3-year grant, which commenced on August 15, 2023, will support an interdisciplinary investigation into how the stomata (microscopic pores) in grass crops like maize and wheat rapidly open and close to regulate...
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 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 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 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to the University of Montana on September 15, 2024, provides $687,039.00 to investigate the genetic and functional basis of rapid, touch-sensitive stigma movement in plants. The research aims to advance the fundamental understanding of plant reproductive signaling, sensing, and movement mechanisms, which are central to global ecology and food production. The key products and services delivered through...
This $977,252 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to examine the mechanisms plants use to control the patterning of cellulose fibers in their cell walls, which determines plant morphology. The research focuses on investigating how microtubule polymers on the inside of plant cells form patterns that guide the deposition of cellulose on the cell exterior. Advanced imaging, genetic, and computational modeling...
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. The $135,322 award, effective October 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024, will leverage advanced live-imaging microscopy technologies at the...
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...
