This $977,252 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research on microtubule nucleation in plant cortical array patterning. The research, conducted by the Trustees of Indiana University, aims to investigate how plants use microtubule polymers on the inside of cells to template the deposition of cellulose microfibrils on the outside, which determines cell expansion and plant morphology. The project will utilize advanced imaging and computational approaches to map changes in microtubule patterning over time, and explore the molecular and genetic mechanisms behind these patterns through the study of new mutants. The research outcomes are expected to contribute to the understanding of plant cell and developmental biology, with potential impacts on plant breeding, crop engineering, and food supply. No subawards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of December 15, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2028.
