This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) grant award to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) aims to advance the understanding of how plants recognize and respond to infection by plant parasitic nematodes, one of the most destructive plant pathogens causing an estimated $78 billion in global annual losses. The $796,385 project, running from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027, will identify nematode-derived molecules that activate plant innate immunity...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $673,114 to the University of California, Davis to investigate the role of extracellular RNA produced by plants. The project aims to address fundamental questions about how plants secrete RNA and the function of this secreted RNA, with a focus on the hypothesis that it plays a role in plant immunity against fungi and bacteria. The research will analyze extracellular RNA across seven diverse plant species to identify conserved RNAs and determine if post-transcriptional modifications are required for secretion. The project will also assess whether mutants compromised in extracellular RNA secretion exhibit reduced resistance to pathogens. The award is effective from October 1, 2024 through March 31, 2026 and does not include any subawards.
