This $275,617 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Kansas State University (KSU) to develop and test a predictive framework for synergistic benefits within the legume-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)-rhizobia system. The key objectives are to: Evaluate synergism in legume-AMF-rhizobia interactions while manipulating soil nitrogen and phosphorus availability, symbiont quality, and legume life history. Couple the...
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 Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA Program 47.074, Biological Sciences) will provide $409,569 to the University of Illinois from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 to conduct collaborative research on deciphering the host- and environment-dependencies in the legume-rhizobia symbiosis. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Conducting manipulative experiments to measure the benefits...
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 of $249,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship titled "The Genomics of Grass-Legume Interactions". The research aims to identify genes and pathways involved in the beneficial relationship between grasses and legumes in both prairie and crop systems. The project will leverage long-running prairie biodiversity experiments and a novel soybean-maize rotation experiment to...
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 of $1,513,696.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to discover microbial genes that can enhance the ability of microbes to colonize and survive on plant roots. The project aims to identify genes that, when added to microbes that cannot normally survive on plant roots, enable those microbes to persist longer and provide long-term benefits to crop growth and productivity. The research will be conducted...
This $183,857 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research to examine the diversity of partnerships between legume plants and rhizobial bacteria. The project aims to assess the compatibility between a wide variety of legume species and rhizobial strains, and identify genetic markers to track rhizobial diversity. This research is important for sustainable agriculture and the bioeconomy, as legumes play...
The National Science Foundation awarded an $899,970 project grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. on March 15, 2021 for research concluding on February 29, 2024. The grant supports research into the genetics and mechanisms of microbe-dependent heterosis, or hybrid vigor, in corn. Subawards were provided to North Carolina State University to conduct experiments inoculating corn with microbial communities and...
This Project Grant award of $800,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to evaluate and enhance arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in major cereal crops like corn and rice. The project aims to improve the crops' ability to efficiently utilize phosphorus fertilizers through their beneficial interactions with soil fungi. Specifically, the research will employ natural plant...
