- This $560,288 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports research investigating how certain weedy plant species have adapted to thrive in agricultural environments. The research focuses on the plant genus Amaranthus, which includes some of the most problematic agricultural weeds in North America. The project aims to understand the biological mechanisms that allow these weedy plants to quickly adapt, in order to...
- This federal Project Grant award of $378,820 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund collaborative research to understand how certain weedy plant species, particularly in the genus Amaranthus, have rapidly adapted to thrive in agricultural environments. The project, led by the University of Illinois, will generate high-quality genomic data for the Amaranthus genus and conduct detailed population genomic studies on three focal weed species. The...
- This federal Project Grant award of $399,315 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is supporting collaborative research by Brigham Young University (BYU) to understand how certain weedy plant species have rapidly evolved to thrive in agricultural environments. The research focuses on the Amaranthus plant genus, which includes some of the most problematic agricultural weeds in North America. The project aims to investigate the biological mechanisms...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $500,611 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to support research into the mechanisms of altitudinal range expansion by plant species under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The University Enterprises Corporation at California State University, San Bernardino will analyze historical and contemporary plant samples to elucidate patterns of adaptation that have allowed the model species Arabidopsis...
- This Project Grant award of $1,100,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will support research at the University of California, Davis to study the genetic and chemical processes behind the diversity of specialized metabolites in plants. The project will investigate the key biosynthetic genes and modifications that create a range of glucosinolate compounds in the Brassicales plant family, which contribute to the flavors, aromas, and health benefits...
- This $794,457 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support the development of new genetic analysis tools. The goal is to incorporate molecular and cellular biology knowledge, such as gene expression patterns and regulatory networks, directly into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype relationships. The research will be conducted using simulated...
- This $1,691,891 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the University of California, Irvine into genome evolution and structure in corn (maize). The project aims to investigate how plant genomes can vary substantially in size and organization, yet still produce functional organisms. Specifically, the researchers will measure and compare the folding structures of 25 corn genomes and two related...
- This $463,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will examine the origin and genetics of four rare plant species in the California Floristic Province. The project, led by Cal Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation (also known as HSU Foundation), aims to test the phylogenetic and genetic predictions of the "budding speciation" process, which is hypothesized to be a primary driver of rare plant diversity in the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $300,000 in funding to Western University of Health Sciences to conduct collaborative research on the variability and regulation of the plant polyadenylation complex. The research aims to better understand how this complex mediates gene expression and plant responses to environmental and developmental cues, with the goal of improving our knowledge of crop plant growth,...
