- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $693,856 to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct research on the direct response of leaf stomata to temperature changes. The key objectives are to: 1) Quantify the direct stomatal response to temperature (DRST) and its acclimation to growth temperature across 60 plant species representing major...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $455,612 to Purdue University to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of guard cell turgor and the rise of angiosperms. The research aims to develop a new method to directly measure guard cell turgor pressures across different plant lineages, in order to better understand the regulation of stomatal opening and closing in response to environmental stresses...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) provides $1,100,000 to the University of California, Davis to conduct research on how cytokinin signaling regulates cell plate development and callose deposition during plant cell division. The overarching goal is to gain a transformative, mechanistic understanding of hormonal signaling, cell division, and cell wall formation that can be applied broadly to improve plant growth and biomass...
- This $398,984 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to quantify the biophysical, physiological, and phenological impacts of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on vegetation and their effects on future climate change. The research utilizes the Community Earth System Model to examine the direct impacts of CO2 fertilization and stomatal closure, as well as the indirect effects of a longer growing season, on...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $600,000 in funding to Cornell University to investigate how plants use calcium signaling mechanisms to respond to environmental stresses such as temperature, salt, and wounding. The long-term goal is to understand how plant cells sense and adapt to stressful environments, which may lead to the development of more stress-tolerant crop plants to increase global food production....
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $921,054 supports research to develop new biological functions through engineering plant hormone receptors. Led by the Regents of the University of California, Riverside under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the project engineers plant sensors to recognize pharmaceuticals and dietary molecules. It then uses these sensors to design "sentinel cells" that indicate molecule presence through color changes. Specifically, the...
