This federal Project Grant award, valued at $1,684,000 and provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research by The Pennsylvania State University on host-specific response and adaptation in the parasitic agricultural pest, Cuscuta (commonly known as dodder). The key research aims are to: 1) profile the diversity of trans-species microRNAs across Cuscuta populations and identify their host mRNA targets, 2) resequence...
This $132,500 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Rutgers, The State University. The grant supports a 3-year collaborative research project to study the genetic mechanisms underlying host-specific response and adaptation in the parasitic agricultural pest, Cuscuta (commonly known as dodder). The research team will profile the diversity of trans-species microRNAs across Cuscuta populations, resequence Cuscuta...
This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to develop novel methods for plant genome editing using the parasitic plant Cuscuta campestris (dodder). The $450,000 award, effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027, will enable researchers at the University of Missouri System to: Achieve stable transformation of dodder to enable its use in host gene editing; Develop a dodder protoplast system for rapid screening of...
This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to develop novel methods for genetically modifying plants using the parasitic plant Cuscuta campestris, also known as dodder. The key goals are to 1) stably transform the dodder plant to enable host gene editing, 2) create a dodder protoplast system for rapid screening of gene editing constructs, and 3) develop a dodder-mediated gene editing system....
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $250,000 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to develop novel methods of plant genome editing enabled by the parasitic plant Cuscuta campestris (dodder). The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) achieve stable transformation of dodder to enable host gene editing, 2) develop a dodder protoplast system for rapid screening of gene...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $384,882 to the University of Louisville to research the mechanisms determining spatial and temporal dynamics of infectious processes for Microbotryum complex phytopathogenic fungi and host immunity. The research aims to study genetic differences in plants and their responses to different fungal pathogens, with a focus on the Microbotryum violaceum complex of "anther...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $810,001 project grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to study the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in regulating plant gene expression and response to bacterial pathogens. The 4-year project aims to characterize the addition and removal of m6A on plant RNAs and investigate how these epitranscriptomic processes impact a plant's ability to recognize and respond to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) grant award to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) aims to advance the understanding of how plants recognize and respond to infection by plant parasitic nematodes, one of the most destructive plant pathogens causing an estimated $78 billion in global annual losses. The $796,385 project, running from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027, will identify nematode-derived molecules that activate plant innate immunity...
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,...
