This $400,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the effects of unsteady wind and surface morphology on plant transpiration. Funded under the Biological Sciences program of the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, the three-year award running from September 2021 to August 2024 will examine how external abiotic conditions affect internal fluid flows within plants.
Cornell University is the primary awardee and will collaborate with President and Fellows of...
This $400,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program will support research at Iowa State University to investigate the function of plant cell-to-cell communication channels, known as plasmodesmata, as hubs for reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling. The project aims to determine how the hydrogen peroxide sensor HPCA1 regulates hydrogen peroxide transport through plasmodesmata by modulating aquaporin proteins. This...
This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) aims to develop a sustainable, zero-maintenance wearable sensing system for continuous tree health monitoring. The University of Massachusetts will lead the 3-year project to create biocompatible sensor arrays that can be implanted in plants to wirelessly transmit real-time data on water and nutrient uptake. This advanced monitoring system...
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...
This $816,954 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Purdue University from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to understand how plant cells perceive signals from their environment and scale responses to promote beneficial interactions and discourage harmful interactions. Specifically, the project will test the conservation of the Feronia/MLO signaling module in plant-biotic interactions and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project to study how plant hormones regulate rapid growth and development of stamen filaments in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The $651,000 grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, awarded on February 15, 2024, will examine the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling stamen filament elongation as flowers open, a critical process for...
The National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems awarded a $1,214,446 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for research titled "MOLECULAR GENETIC INVESTIGATION OF LAND PLANT GRAVITY SIGNALING."
Under this three-year award beginning June 15, 2021 and ending May 31, 2024, the University of Wisconsin-Madison will conduct research into the molecular genetic mechanisms by which land plants sense and respond to gravity. This work falls under the...
This $1,089,467 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Iowa State University to investigate the role of the ATM1 gene in root cell proliferation and organ formation in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The project aims to identify the cellular mechanisms by which the ATM1 myosin protein influences sugar-driven cell division and intercellular communication in plant roots. Key activities will include...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Integrative Organismal Systems Project Grant will fund research at Washington State University to investigate the mechanisms underlying the partitioning and allocation of photosynthetically-derived sugars in plants. The $567,408 award, which runs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, will utilize recently developed tools for in situ observation of the phloem vascular tissue, microscopy protocols, and machine learning algorithms to quantify...
This federal Project Grant award of $687,039.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Montana to investigate the genetic and evolutionary basis of rapid, touch-sensitive stigma closure in certain plant species. The research aims to advance understanding of plant reproductive signaling and the origins of complex plant traits, while also providing educational outreach on plant biology and pollination....
