Project Grant 2329894
- This $263,431 project grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program will support collaborative research at California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. to study soybean's signaling responses to phosphate and iron deficiency. The objective is to apply quantitative phosphoproteomics techniques to identify the differentially phosphorylated proteins that regulate how soybeans sense and respond to these nutrient stresses. This research aims to bridge...
- 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...
- 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 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 $1,242,385 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at the University of Missouri System to coordinate plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. The research aims to understand how plants prioritize and integrate signals from diverse environmental stresses like low nutrient availability and bacterial pathogens. A team of researchers with expertise in iron nutrition, bacterial pathogen responses, cellular biology,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award provides $497,039 to Valdosta State University to investigate the biochemical mechanisms by which reactive oxygen species activate the GCN2 protein kinase and its role in regulating protein synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant system. The research aims to enhance understanding of plant stress responses and translational control mechanisms, which could contribute to developing...
- 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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $921,054 supports research to develop new biological functions through engineering plant hormone receptors. Led by the Regents of the University of California, Riverside under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the project engineers plant sensors to recognize pharmaceuticals and dietary molecules. It then uses these sensors to design "sentinel cells" that indicate molecule presence through color changes. Specifically, the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program, awarded to the San Diego State University Research Foundation, will support research to investigate how microbial social interactions within soil communities influence ecosystem-level carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling. The $982,308 award, effective April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2027, will combine molecular and computational approaches to study bacterial communication and division of labor...
- 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 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 lines with reduced fertilizer needs, addressing the global challenge of ensuring food security. The project will also provide hands-on research experience and training for undergraduate and graduate students, many from underrepresented minority groups, to prepare them for careers in the local biotechnology industry. The award period is from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2027.
