This federal Project Grant award of $674,085 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is supporting research to establish the peat moss Sphagnum as a leading model system for functional genomics studies. The key objectives are to develop laboratory-grown Sphagnum cultures, establish molecular genetic tools like transformation and regeneration protocols, and expand chromosome-scale reference genomes and expression atlases for Sphagnum species. These...
This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will fund research at Kenyon College to investigate the molecular mechanisms governing seasonal reproductive development in the moss Physcomitrium patens. The project aims to use a combination of forward and reverse genetics, genomics, and transcriptomics to identify key genes and pathways involved in how mosses sense and respond to seasonal cues, such as...
This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the evolution and development of fundamental plant reproductive structures called sporangia. Led by the New York Botanical Garden, this interdisciplinary project will investigate the molecular genetics of sporangium development in the model fern Ceratopteris. The research aims to elucidate the core genetic network underlying sporangium...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,241 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to conduct collaborative research on characterizing evolutionarily conserved plant signaling modules that underlie organ development. The research aims to investigate how small molecules made by plants orchestrate organ formation, leveraging the non-seed model plant Physcomitrium patens and using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to perform...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant will provide $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on investigating the molecular mechanisms governing the remarkable adaptability of aquatic plants. The research aims to elucidate the genetic underpinnings of heterophylly (the ability to produce different leaf forms) and facultative CAM photosynthesis in the model plant Littorella uniflora. The project will employ...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences awarded a $850,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to investigate the cellular and biomechanical mechanisms underlying rapid stomatal dynamics in grasses. This research aims to enhance understanding of how the microscopic pores called stomata, which regulate photosynthesis and water transport in crops, rapidly open and close in...
This Project Grant award of $520,720 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to develop new tools for incorporating emerging models of genetics into genetic mapping, prediction, and simulation. The research, conducted by Colorado State University, aims to better integrate molecular and cellular biology knowledge into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype...
This $999,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center to elucidate the mechanisms initiating de novo chromatin modification cycles in plant cells. Over three years, the award will support experiments using cutting-edge techniques to dissect the molecular triggers establishing heritable DNA methylation patterns and long-term epigenetic silencing of transposable elements and...
This $322,925 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Gustavus Adolphus College to characterize stress-responsive peptides from long intergenic non-coding RNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana. The project aims to explore the functional role of 20 newly identified small peptides in plant development and response to environmental stressors, with the goal of identifying potential targets for crop improvement. The...
