- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $338,002 to the California State University Fresno Foundation will support collaborative research to understand how certain weedy plant species have rapidly adapted and thrived in agricultural environments.

- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $220,890 Project Grant to Mississippi Valley State University to investigate the effects of Nicandra physalodes, a plant containing alkaloids, on the growth and development of noxious weeds, including Pennisetum clandestinum (Kikuyu grass), Echinochloa crus-galli (Barnyard grass), and Lolium multiflorum (Italian ryegrass). The research aims to explore an environmentally friendly, cost-effective integrated weed...
- This federal Project Grant award of $448,286.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Williams College to understand how plants produce, recognize, and interact with anthranilates - a group of under-investigated secondary metabolites that have been shown to deter herbivores and decrease microbial infections in plants. The research aims to advance the understanding of plant defense mechanisms against herbivores and pathogens,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $474,926 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a collaborative research project focused on the evolutionary and functional genomics of Hawaiian Bidens plants. The research aims to determine the genetic basis of phenotypic trait diversification in this rapid adaptive radiation, advancing the understanding of what drives the evolution of new species. The project will generate new genome assemblies and...
