The project...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $910,000 project grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, to conduct research on the control of shoot apex indeterminacy by the Terminal Flower1 gene. This work, funded through NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to advance fundamental knowledge on how the maintenance or differentiation of stem cells in the plant shoot apex is regulated. The...
This $290,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program is supporting research to study how plant hormones stimulate rapid growth in stamen filaments, the male flower organs that produce pollen. The project aims to examine the cellular and molecular events during stamen filament elongation, revealing how this growth is controlled by hormones and coordinated with pollen release. Key activities include using advanced microscopy, gene expression...
