This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $193,119 will fund research to advance understanding of soil fungal biodiversity patterns across North America. Leveraging two extensive DNA sequencing datasets from the National Ecological Observatory Network and Dimensions of Biodiversity Project on North American Soil Fungi, the University of Michigan team will apply novel modeling techniques to identify key environmental variables influencing fungal community composition and geographic...
This $1,083,670 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research on the spatiotemporal dynamics of plant-mycorrhizal fungal symbioses across the eastern United States. The primary awardee, the University of Tennessee, will investigate how changing global conditions impact the interactions between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, which provide critical nutrient and water exchange. The research will examine spatial and temporal...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $2,999,526 to Michigan State University to expand the Plant Metabolic Network (PMN) database and establish a plant enzyme function consortium. Key products and services to be delivered include: Expanding the PMN database from 126 to over 1,000 plant species by leveraging bioinformatics tools to rapidly create new PMN databases. This will provide researchers greater access to metabolic...
This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center to study the fundamental genetic mechanisms underlying arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis - the beneficial relationship between plants and a type of fungi that assists plants in nutrient absorption. The key objectives are to identify the core set of genes and cellular processes essential for successful AM...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $706,641.00 and made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), is supporting collaborative research to investigate the role of plant-soil feedbacks in sustaining the resilience of piñon woodlands to severe drought. The research aims to determine how beneficial soil microbes, particularly ectomycorrhizal fungi, can aid the recruitment and growth of piñon pine seedlings in areas affected...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "The Functional Biogeography of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi: Elucidating Cross-Scale Mechanisms that Inform Global Models" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA #47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing scientific knowledge and...
This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $240,000 will fund research investigating the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments, and phenotypes in the context of soil carbon allocation among mycorrhizal species under global change. Specifically, the grantee will examine how different plant and fungal species trade carbon for nutrients and how much carbon gets transferred to soils. Using isotopic labeling, the "carbon cost" of different...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $270,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral research fellowship that will investigate how plants influence the activity of soil microbes in desert ecosystems. The research aims to use volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as real-time indicators of microbial functions and processes, in order to better understand the scope of plant-microbe interactions beyond the plant's root zone. The project will...
This $188,491 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a 5-year collaborative research study on the symbiotic relationships between microbes and their host plants. The research team at the University of New Mexico is exploring how the effects of microbial symbionts on host plants fluctuate over time, potentially providing stability and buffering against environmental stressors. The project utilizes a unique long-term...
