This National Science Foundation project grant award of $276,000 provides funding from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024 to support research investigating the effects of microbiome ecological and evolutionary origin on plant-microbiome coevolution. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the fellowship will support a postdoctoral fellow's integrative research exploring how a microbiome's previous associations with plant hosts influence community adaptation and the...
This $314,560 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by Purdue University to develop crop varieties that enhance agricultural sustainability. The key objectives are to: Identify genetic targets underlying microbiome-mediated genetic resistance to major current and emergent biotic and abiotic stresses in three widely-grown crops - wheat, tomato, and poplar...
This Project Grant award of $1,513,696.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to discover microbial genes that can enhance the ability of microbes to colonize and survive on plant roots. The project aims to identify genes that, when added to microbes that cannot normally survive on plant roots, enable those microbes to persist longer and provide long-term benefits to crop growth and productivity. The research will be conducted...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.074) provides $279,000 to fund a postdoctoral research fellowship at Purdue University. The fellowship, titled "Determinants of Evolutionary Success for Active Transposable Element Populations in the Maize Genomic Ecosystem," will support research and training to investigate the dynamics of transposable elements in corn plants. The research aims to characterize how the...
The National Science Foundation awarded an $899,970 project grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. on March 15, 2021 for research concluding on February 29, 2024. The grant supports research into the genetics and mechanisms of microbe-dependent heterosis, or hybrid vigor, in corn. Subawards were provided to North Carolina State University to conduct experiments inoculating corn with microbial communities and...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium. The research will manipulate the order of arrival of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root endophytic fungi to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 over three years starting on September 1, 2024 to fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research aims to investigate the effects of bioengineered organisms on community assembly and ecosystem functioning in a soil microbial community. The fellow will use genetic engineering to create microbial consortia and study the impacts on community and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $240,000.00, to be carried out from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will fund a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology. The research will focus on quantifying the diversity and climate change response in the Chamaecrista fasciculata-rhizobial symbiosis. The project will leverage the partridge pea plant and its associated rhizobial bacteria to evaluate how climate change impacts plant-microbial interactions, with the goal of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program grant, awarded to Purdue University, aims to develop innovative data processing and visualization tools to reconstruct 3D models of maize plants, known as "digital twins." The $533,393 project, running from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will leverage advanced AI and optimization techniques to simulate how changes in maize plant architecture and environmental conditions impact crop productivity. The...
