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 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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is providing $788,825 to The Trustees of Princeton University to advance the basic understanding of the principles underlying the assembly and architecture of pyrenoids - specialized cellular compartments found in certain algae and plants. The project aims to leverage this understanding to build a functional synthetic pyrenoid-based carbon dioxide-concentrating mechanism into the model...
This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the evolution and development of fundamental plant reproductive structures called sporangia. Led by the New York Botanical Garden, this interdisciplinary project will investigate the molecular genetics of sporangium development in the model fern Ceratopteris. The research aims to elucidate the core genetic network underlying sporangium...
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) 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 $816,954 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Purdue University from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to understand how plant cells perceive signals from their environment and scale responses to promote beneficial interactions and discourage harmful interactions. Specifically, the project will test the conservation of the Feronia/MLO signaling module in plant-biotic interactions and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $268,816 to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028. The grant supports collaborative research to examine the effects of the evolution of land plants on the Earth's landscapes, climate, and biogeochemical cycles over the past 470 million years. The research combines field, laboratory, and modeling approaches to reconstruct...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $464,957 in funding to Purdue University to support the "Purdue Undergraduate Research Experiences for Plant Biology and Data Science (PURE-PD)" program. The program will train 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, over 10 weeks during the summers of 2025-2027. Students will gain hands-on research experience in data-driven plant biology projects,...
This $314,560 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by Purdue University to develop crop varieties that enhance agricultural sustainability.
