The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $901,534 Project Grant to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in Olivette, Missouri. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2028. The primary objectives of this grant are to develop the Sphagnum (peat moss) species as a new model system for physiological, molecular, and functional genomics studies in land plants. The research aims to establish lab-grown Sphagnum cultures, create...
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 $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 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is providing $788,825 to The Trustees of Princeton University to advance the basic understanding of the principles underlying the assembly and architecture of pyrenoids - specialized cellular compartments found in certain algae and plants. The project aims to leverage this understanding to build a functional synthetic pyrenoid-based carbon dioxide-concentrating mechanism into the model...
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 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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded to the University of New Mexico, is supporting a long-term study on the symbiotic relationship between grasses and their fungal microbes. The $188,491 grant, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029, is testing the hypothesis that the effects of microbial symbionts on their host plants fluctuate annually, providing beneficial impacts in stressful years but neutral or costly effects in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding over 3 years starting June 1, 2025 to investigate how an alpine plant species in the Rocky Mountains will respond and adapt to climate change. The research aims to understand how population responses to microclimate variation impact range shifts under climate change scenarios. The project will use field and greenhouse experiments, genetic analyses, and...
This $1,714,712 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to critically evaluate the ecological and functional drivers of polyploid establishment in plants. The project aims to use population-level experiments with a model aquatic species under varied stresses to elucidate the mechanisms that allow polyploid species to thrive, especially in stressful habitats. The research will contribute to understanding the formative...
