- This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1.4 million supports research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to characterize mutant strains of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae that are unable to properly maintain the biotrophic interface or membrane integrity during growth in host plant cells. The goal is to uncover novel cellular, biochemical, and genetic mechanisms governing rice infection. Results may provide insights into fundamental concepts of plant-microbe...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Program Project Grant award to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, will investigate how chloroplast retrograde signaling in living plant cells operates during plant immunity and how pathogens interfere with this process. The $135,322 award, effective October 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024, will leverage advanced live-imaging microscopy technologies at the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $953,779 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to develop innovative data processing and advanced visualization tools for optimizing maize canopy architecture. The goal is to create a "digital twin" of maize plants that can simulate real plant growth and response to the environment. This will allow researchers to experiment with different plant traits and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,720,000 project grant to the University of Maryland, College Park under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) for research titled "Collaborative Research: Research-PGR: Genome-Wide Quest for Non-Host Resistance Mechanisms in Plants." Over a three-year period ending December 2026, the university will conduct research to elucidate the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying non-host resistance in plants against fungal pathogens....
- This $1,145,609 Project Grant, awarded on September 15, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program, supports research into the mechanism and manipulation of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors in plants. The project, led by Texas A&M AgriLife Research, aims to investigate how the potato NLR protein RB interacts with pathogen effector proteins and plant immune signaling components, and how some pathogen strains...
- This $230,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research into non-host resistance mechanisms in plants. Over its three-year period from January 2023 to December 2026, the collaborative research project will use innovative forward and reverse genetics approaches to dissect the genetic and molecular mechanisms of non-host resistance against potential fungal pathogens in...
- This $278,344 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a research project at Kansas State University (KSU) to investigate the role of heterochromatin in regulating fungal infection and evolution. The project aims to uncover the rules governing genome function in fungi, with the goal of generating new insights into how fungi live, adapt, and cause disease. Key activities include: Providing mentoring and training in...
- 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...
- This $452,399 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Hofstra University to investigate the epigenetic regulation of transposable elements in maize. The research aims to study the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RDDM) induced by naturally occurring maize "killer" alleles and explore the dynamic regulation of transposable element silencing in response to developmental cues. The project will...
- The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $250,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in Olivette, Missouri. The grant, awarded on March 1, 2025 with a completion date of February 29, 2028, will fund research to dissect the molecular mechanisms that control spikelet development and inflorescence architecture in panicoid cereal crops like corn, wheat and rice. The project leverages the model plant Setaria...
