- This $1,269,993 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research to understand the molecular basis of how plant cells establish the division plane during cell division. The project aims to dissect the function of cytoskeletal motor assemblies at the cortical division site and determine how they connect to molecules in the phragmoplast, the structure that forms the new cell wall during cytokinesis. Researchers at...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $835,320 Project Grant to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period January 15, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The grant will support research studying the mechanisms of transport through plasmodesmata in plant cells. Specifically, the grantee will examine the transport of messenger RNAs that encode homeodomain transcription factors, which are important for plant growth and stem cell...
- This $826,720 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of California, Riverside to investigate the mechanisms that regulate plant cell division positioning. The key objectives are to: Assess whether two proteins, TANGLED1 (TAN1) and AUXIN INDUCED IN ROOT CULTURES9 (AIR9), physically interact to mediate division plane positioning in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Characterize genetic...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $350,000 in funding to New York University (NYU) to develop a "plant-on-a-chip" microfluidic device. The goal is to create a miniaturized "plant factory" that can mimic the hormonal and mechanical environment of plant cells, allowing researchers to study critical functions like cell division and regeneration. The device aims to advance the understanding and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $361,777 Project Grant to the University of Georgia under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to conduct research on the hormonal regulation of cellulose synthase complexes in plants. The project aims to elucidate how plants control the synthesis of cellulose, a critical polysaccharide for plant growth, through post-translational phosphorylation of cellulose synthase enzymes. The research will employ advanced genetic, biochemical, and cell...
- This $1.7 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on the regulation of exocytic membrane trafficking required for cytokinesis and polarized cell expansion in plants. Specifically, the research will focus on understanding how delivery of materials needed for plasma membrane formation and maintenance is controlled in dividing and expanding plant cells. The project aims to define...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will deliver programmed plants with novel approaches to control root growth and improve nitrogen use efficiency. The $640,474 award to the University of California, Davis (UEI: TX2DAGQPENZ5), running from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, will develop tools to engineer desirable nitrogen-responsive traits and quantify how an enhanced root system contributes to improved uptake and use...
- This Project Grant award of $1,159,007 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort between three laboratories to investigate the mechanisms by which plant tissues sense and respond to mechanical forces during growth and development. The research team from Purdue University will analyze the types of forces acting on plant cells, how they are detected by cell wall and signaling proteins, and how this influences tissue...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $680,000 in funding to Yale University to conduct research on regulating stem cell patterning and activity in citrus plants. The key activities under this 3-year award, running from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, involve assessing auxin distribution and activity in citrus, experimenting to perturb auxin action, and...
