- 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 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...
- The $180,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund a study examining how resistance to the herbicide glyphosate and insect herbivory may impact the evolution of the common morning glory, an agricultural weed. The principal investigator will conduct a field experiment and molecular biology research to identify the plant defense traits responsible for glyphosate and herbivory...
- 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...
