This $824,293 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research on the convergent evolution of inflated calyces (outer protective flower structures) and insecticidal acylsugars in the tomatillo plant tribe (Physalideae). The 3-year project, running from June 2025 to May 2028, will be conducted by the University of Colorado. The research aims to build a comprehensive phylogenetic tree of the over 310 tomatillo species...
This $3 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Georgia Research Foundation to decode the volatile aroma of tomato fruits. The goal is to identify novel genes and enzymes that regulate specialized volatile accumulation in ripening tomatoes to facilitate breeding efforts for improved flavor. The research will apply genetic, molecular, and biochemical approaches to validate and characterize...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, provides $884,994 in funding to Trustees of Indiana University to conduct research examining the genetic changes and environmental factors responsible for natural variation in fruit color across the Solanum plant genus, which includes tomatoes, eggplants, and potatoes. The research aims to identify the specific molecular mechanisms underlying the dozens of evolutionary...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $750,000 to the University of Missouri System from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research among multiple institutions to elucidate the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying nonhost resistance in plants. Nonhost resistance confers broad immunity to most plant species against pathogens that can infect other species. The research aims to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $216,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Defining the Genetic Basis of Tomato Reproductive Heat Tolerance through Phenotyping, Genome-Wide Association, & Predictive Modeling" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to promote progress in the biological sciences and enhance understanding of major problems confronting the nation. The three-year grant will fund...
This $1,100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to study the genetic and chemical processes that facilitate the diversity of specialized metabolites, such as glucosinolates, across plant species in the Brassicales order. The 5-year project at the University of California, Davis aims to identify key biosynthetic genes and understand how genetic diversity drives the creation of unique plant compounds that...
This $629,212.26 Project Grant was awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) program. The grant supports research at the University of Missouri System to explore the enzymes and metabolic pathways involved in the production of valuable plant-derived chemicals, such as those used in agriculture, nutrition, and industry. The research aims to improve the understanding of the...
This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the evolution and development of fundamental plant reproductive structures called sporangia. Led by the New York Botanical Garden, this interdisciplinary project will investigate the molecular genetics of sporangium development in the model fern Ceratopteris. The research aims to elucidate the core genetic network underlying sporangium...
This $300,000 federal Project Grant award under the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will be used by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct research on the molecular mechanisms and evolution of Type 6 Secretion System (T6SS) toxins and immunity proteins in phytopathogenic Ralstonia bacteria. The central objective is to understand how these toxin warfare strategies enable Ralstonia to successfully compete against other...
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. The research aims to understand how plants prioritize and integrate signals from diverse environmental stresses like low nutrient availability and bacterial pathogens. A team of researchers with expertise in iron nutrition, bacterial pathogen responses, cellular biology,...
