This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $115,172 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct collaborative research on soybean's response to phosphate and iron deficiency. The objective is to use quantitative phosphoproteomics to unravel the signaling pathways underlying soybean's sensing and immediate response to these nutrient stresses. This research aims to help develop soybean...
This federal Project Grant award for $1,700,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Tennessee from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The award will support research to better understand the protein and amino acid composition of soybean seeds and the mechanisms underlying the "rebalancing" phenomenon, where soybean plants compensate for changes to their seed storage proteins. The project will collect...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,255,705 will support research at the University of Missouri System from August 2022 to July 2025 to advance understanding of autonomous leaf-specific iron deficiency responses in plants. Funded through the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the project aims to identify transcriptional complexes necessary to regulate iron homeostasis in leaves through time-series gene expression analysis, high-throughput DNA-protein and...
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 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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $1,384,257 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant funding will support a research project focused on understanding the mechanisms of nutrient sensing and homeostasis in plants. Key objectives include identifying the pathways by which plants respond to low potassium and high magnesium levels, and how...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $2.4 million project grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to advance developmental regulator-enabled plant transformation and genome editing in soybeans. Over a three-year period concluding in July 2025, the University will develop an efficient and open-source genetic transformation system for soybeans utilizing developmental regulator genes. Researchers will identify...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at North Dakota State University (NDSU) to study the relationship between legumes (such as soybeans, peas, and alfalfa) and rhizobia bacteria. The $265,001 project, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to identify the plant and bacterial genes that work together to control the efficiency of nitrogen fixation in this symbiotic...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $274,918 to Earnest Agriculture, Inc. to develop a microbial seed coating that enhances organic soybean production. The key objectives are to create a bacterial consortium that simultaneously reduces soybean disease, improves nitrogen fixation, and increases yield. Through field and greenhouse trials, the project will evaluate the...
Upstream Biotechnology Inc. received a $994,582 cooperative agreement award from the National Science Foundation under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to develop a novel genetic trait for broad-spectrum disease resistance in soybean without fitness costs. The award will support engineering soybean plants to rapidly respond to attacking pathogens through a system that regulates the production of anti-microbial proteins only when needed, eliminating...
