- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $600,000 in funding to Cornell University to investigate how plants use calcium signaling mechanisms to respond to environmental stresses such as temperature, salt, and wounding. The long-term goal is to understand how plant cells sense and adapt to stressful environments, which may lead to the development of more stress-tolerant crop plants to increase global food production....
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,557,879 project grant to the University of Nevada, Reno under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support the "PLANTSYNBIO: Optimized CAM Engineering for Improving Water-Use Efficiency in Plants" research project. The three-year project beginning April 1, 2021 aims to advance understanding of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis and optimize CAM pathways in plants to improve water-use efficiency. As...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $1,384,257 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant funding will support a research project focused on understanding the mechanisms of nutrient sensing and homeostasis in plants. Key objectives include identifying the pathways by which plants respond to low potassium and high magnesium levels, and how...
- 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.
