This federal Project Grant award of $249,000.00 was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship. The fellowship, titled "Studying a Local Species to Prepare for a Global Crisis: Unfurling Mechanisms of Desiccation Tolerance from the Resurrection Fern Pleopeltis," will be hosted by the Baylor College of Medicine under the sponsorship of Dr. Steven Boeynaems. The research aims to characterize how genetic material is protected and reorganized in the desiccation-tolerant resurrection fern Pleopeltis polypodioides during dehydration and rehydration. Key activities include sequencing and annotating the Pleopeltis genome, determining changes in genome architecture and gene expression during desiccation, and translating the findings to identify proteins that facilitate nucleic acid stabilization. All data will be made openly accessible through various repositories. The award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and address critical challenges in fields like environmental science and genomics.
