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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant, awarded to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst, is supporting collaborative research on the genomics of host-specific response and adaptation in the parasitic agricultural pest, Cuscuta (commonly known as dodder). The $599,720 award, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027, aims to address the central question of how agriculturally relevant Cuscuta species successfully parasitize a...
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 $452,399 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Hofstra University to investigate the epigenetic regulation of transposable elements in maize. The research aims to study the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RDDM) induced by naturally occurring maize "killer" alleles and explore the dynamic regulation of transposable element silencing in response to developmental cues. The project will...
This $2.18 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Rutgers University from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2027 to test the use of multispectral imaging technology for detecting cassava brown streak disease. The imaging technology will be deployed in agricultural fields in Tanzania to rapidly determine cassava plant infection status. Rutgers University will receive funding to assess the technology's...
This $1,088,678 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research at Rutgers, The State University to develop improved methods for transforming and regenerating recalcitrant plant species, with a focus on maize. The project aims to provide a thorough understanding of the molecular events enabling plant regeneration from differentiated tissue by exploiting a "GGB" morphogenic-based system. This...
Rutgers, The State University Of New Jersey was awarded a $394,580 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CHEMOTACTIC SIGNALING IN SINORHIZOBIUM MELILOTI SYMBIOTIC PLANT HOST INTERACTION." The grant is part of the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) and will fund research from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2025. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote...
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...
