Cornell University was awarded a $476,779 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The grant falls under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to support collaborative research titled "Mechanisms of Differentiation and Morphogenesis of the Ligule/Auricle Hinge." The research will be conducted from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024 in Ithaca, NY. The Biological Sciences program aims to increase scientific knowledge and...
This $5 million National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), funds research and educational activities related to leaf angle variation in maize plants from 2022-2026. Iowa State University will lead efforts to identify genes controlling leaf angle variation across plant canopies using high-throughput phenotyping and transcriptomic analyses. Functional validation of candidate genes will be conducted through CRISPR-based gene editing....
This $699,870 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports the development of simplified and highly efficient genetic modification technologies for economically important grasses and cereal crops. The "PLANTTRANSFORM: SMART GRASS" project aims to overcome the current constraint in the plant science research community regarding the capacity to genetically modify major crop plants. The award establishes a...
This $171,697 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program aims to advance understanding of biophysical mechanisms that generate reproducible organ shapes during development. Specifically, the grant supports research by Cornell University and partners in France to elucidate how plant leaves maintain flatness as they grow. The collaborative project titled "The Biophysical Basis of Flat Organ Morphogenesis from Fluctuating Cellular...
This $270,241 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project led by Trustees of Dartmouth College to characterize evolutionarily conserved plant signaling modules underlying organ development. The project will leverage the model plant species Physcomitrium patens and use CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, forward genetics, and proximity labeling approaches to map signaling pathways from novel...
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...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) awarded a $464,968 project grant to the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research Inc. This 3-year REU site grant, effective April 15, 2024, will support the training of 30 undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds in plant genome research at the Boyce Thompson Institute on the Cornell University campus. The students will develop interdisciplinary skills in data analysis, bioinformatics, experimental...
This Project Grant award of $249,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a Postdoctoral Fellowship titled "The Genomics of Grass-Legume Interactions". The research aims to identify genes and pathways involved in the beneficial relationship between grasses and legumes in both prairie and crop systems. The project will leverage long-running prairie biodiversity experiments and a novel soybean-maize rotation experiment to...
