- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program provides $373,728 to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, with an award date of January 15, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026. The objective of this collaborative research project is to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms controlling the movement of actin filaments (F-actin) in the female gamete for successful sperm nuclear migration during plant fertilization, using...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project to study how plant hormones regulate rapid growth and development of stamen filaments in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The $651,000 grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, awarded on February 15, 2024, will examine the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling stamen filament elongation as flowers open, a critical process for...
- This $290,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program is supporting research to study how plant hormones stimulate rapid growth in stamen filaments, the male flower organs that produce pollen. The project aims to examine the cellular and molecular events during stamen filament elongation, revealing how this growth is controlled by hormones and coordinated with pollen release. Key activities include using advanced microscopy, gene expression...
- This $1,269,993 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the molecular basis of how plant cells establish the division plane during cell division. The project aims to dissect the function of cytoskeletal motor assemblies at the cortical division site and determine how they connect to molecules in the phragmoplast, the structure that forms the new cell wall during cytokinesis. Researchers at...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,000 in funding to Western University of Health Sciences to conduct collaborative research on the variability and regulation of the plant polyadenylation complex. The research aims to better understand how this complex mediates gene expression and plant responses to environmental and developmental cues, with the goal of improving our knowledge of crop plant growth,...
- This $794,457 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of new genetic analysis tools. The goal is to incorporate molecular and cellular biology knowledge, such as gene expression patterns and regulatory networks, directly into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype relationships. The research will be conducted using simulated...
