This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by St. Catherine University to investigate the genes and mechanisms underlying the symbiotic relationship between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia bacteria. The $109,969 award, active from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will enable the researchers to conduct experiments examining 18 legume species and 2 rhizobia strains across different nitrogen...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems under the Biological Sciences (CFDA# 47.074) program will fund a 3-year, $405,461 collaborative research project to decipher the host-environment dependencies in the legume-rhizobia symbiosis. The researchers at the Regents of the University of Minnesota will take an integrative approach to identify the plant and rhizobia genes that work together to control the efficacy of nitrogen...
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's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $170,000.00 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota for a collaborative research project to engineer synthetic cells with expanded genetic alphabets and genetic codes. The goal is to leverage the flexibility of in vitro (test tube-based) systems to incorporate non-canonical nucleotides and amino acids into proteins, potentially enabling the use of over 24 amino acids...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to deliver programmed plants with improved nitrogen use efficiency. The $640,474 award to the University of California, Davis will develop tools to engineer desirable nitrogen-responsive traits and investigate their effects on nitrogen uptake and utilization. The project will focus on enhancing root system architecture and deploying synthetic optogenetic systems...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $199,586 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota Office of Sponsored Projects Administration to conduct research on the ecological and evolutionary consequences of mutualisms for species range expansion from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. This award supports research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise...
This $398,196 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds a collaborative research project between the United States and Germany to investigate the initial steps involved in the synthesis of metallocofactors for the nitrogenase enzyme. The project aims to elucidate how the NifU and NifS proteins in the model bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii assemble the iron-sulfur building blocks required for nitrogenase...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,100,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota. The grant, titled "The Ecological and Evolutionary Effects of Combined Stresses in a Mutualism," will fund research to investigate how microbial mutualisms are impacted by multiple environmental stresses. The project will conduct over 3,900 growth experiments and 150 evolution experiments to develop tools for...
