This Project Grant award, totaling $738,601, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program. The goal of the grant is to increase crop yield, specifically in soybeans, under conditions of heat stress and drought by enhancing the plants' ability to cool their reproductive organs. The key products and services to be delivered include: Conducting an integrated analysis of soybean plants subjected to various stress conditions, focusing on...
This $298,578 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Ohio State University. The goal of this Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) project is to develop novel genetically encoded biosensors as a proxy for detecting and monitoring biomolecular condensates - dynamic membraneless cellular compartments formed through liquid-liquid phase separation - in multicellular plant organisms over...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,000 in funding to Western University of Health Sciences to conduct collaborative research on the variability and regulation of the plant polyadenylation complex. The research aims to better understand how this complex mediates gene expression and plant responses to environmental and developmental cues, with the goal of improving our knowledge of crop plant growth,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $179,150 Project Grant to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of June 15, 2022 through May 31, 2024. The award will support the development of new computational tools and methods to translate single-cell RNA sequencing data into an ultra-high resolution 3D spatial map of gene expression in plant roots. Specifically, the grantee will leverage existing fluorescent...
This Project Grant award of $1,100,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research at the University of California, Davis to study the genetic and chemical processes behind the diversity of specialized metabolites in plants. The project will investigate the key biosynthetic genes and modifications that create a range of glucosinolate compounds in the Brassicales plant family, which contribute to the flavors, aromas, and health benefits...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award provides $497,039 to Valdosta State University to investigate the biochemical mechanisms by which reactive oxygen species activate the GCN2 protein kinase and its role in regulating protein synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant system. The research aims to enhance understanding of plant stress responses and translational control mechanisms, which could contribute to developing...
This $1,242,385 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds research at the University of Missouri System to coordinate plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses.
