Project Grant 2350447
- This $263,431 project grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program will support collaborative research at California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. to study soybean's signaling responses to phosphate and iron deficiency. The objective is to apply quantitative phosphoproteomics techniques to identify the differentially phosphorylated proteins that regulate how soybeans sense and respond to these nutrient stresses. This research aims to bridge...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $115,172 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct collaborative research on soybean's response to phosphate and iron deficiency. The objective is to use quantitative phosphoproteomics to unravel the signaling pathways underlying soybean's sensing and immediate response to these nutrient stresses. This research aims to help develop soybean...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $2.4 million project grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to advance developmental regulator-enabled plant transformation and genome editing in soybeans. Over a three-year period concluding in July 2025, the University will develop an efficient and open-source genetic transformation system for soybeans utilizing developmental regulator genes. Researchers will identify...
- 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...
- Upstream Biotechnology Inc. received a $994,582 cooperative agreement award from the National Science Foundation under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to develop a novel genetic trait for broad-spectrum disease resistance in soybean without fitness costs. The award will support engineering soybean plants to rapidly respond to attacking pathogens through a system that regulates the production of anti-microbial proteins only when needed, eliminating...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $293,150 project grant to Fayetteville State University under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) for research initiation on a multi-locus genome-wide association study and gene expression analysis of anticancer peptide lunasin in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) seeds. The three-year award beginning June 1, 2021 will support the university's research into identifying genetic markers and gene pathways related to the production of lunasin, a peptide...
- 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...
- The University of Florida was awarded a $903,408 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on August 1, 2021 to identify the determinants of high protein content in seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris. The grant is being administered by the University's Division of Sponsored Research. The project aims to advance the biological sciences through basic research as part of the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). Specifically, the three-year grant will fund research to increase...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $497,100 Project Grant to Tennessee State University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant will support research to better understand how legumes perceive peptides during root nodule symbiosis with bacteria. The researchers will use CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing and existing mutant lines in the model legume Medicago truncatula to develop an in-house collection...
- 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 federal Project Grant award for $1,700,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Tennessee from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The award will support research to better understand the protein and amino acid composition of soybean seeds and the mechanisms underlying the "rebalancing" phenomenon, where soybean plants compensate for changes to their seed storage proteins. The project will collect multi-omic datasets on soybean seed development and use mathematical modeling and machine learning to identify drivers of rebalancing. This research aims to enable molecular biologists and breeders to more effectively modify the nutritional quality of soybean seeds. The project will train researchers, including underrepresented undergraduate students, in multi-omic data integration. Sub-awards are planned as part of this effort.
