This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $649,999 to Duke University to develop a semi-automated system for determining gene activity across different plant organ types. The goal is to understand the common and distinct functions of plant genes in the development of lateral organs like roots, leaves, and flowers. The project will compare two plant species and examine how cell signaling pathways shape organ...
This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the evolution and development of fundamental plant reproductive structures called sporangia. Led by the New York Botanical Garden, this interdisciplinary project will investigate the molecular genetics of sporangium development in the model fern Ceratopteris. The research aims to elucidate the core genetic network underlying sporangium...
This $998,790 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support enhancing global plant transformation capacity through research, training, and partnerships led by Boyce Thompson Institute For Plant Research Inc. Over a three-year period, the grantee will establish a global research coordination network to collectively address challenges to plant genetic engineering and gene editing efficiency. The network aims to facilitate collaboration,...
This $735,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Cornell University to investigate the functional interactions of plant transcription factors that regulate the three-dimensional patterning of grass leaves. The research aims to understand the mechanisms by which the LG1 and WOX3 transcription factors coordinate leaf width, length, and angle, which directly impact photosynthesis and leaf morphology in maize. The...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $179,150 Project Grant to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of June 15, 2022 through May 31, 2024. The award will support the development of new computational tools and methods to translate single-cell RNA sequencing data into an ultra-high resolution 3D spatial map of gene expression in plant roots. Specifically, the grantee will leverage existing fluorescent...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,241 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to conduct collaborative research on characterizing evolutionarily conserved plant signaling modules that underlie organ development. The research aims to investigate how small molecules made by plants orchestrate organ formation, leveraging the non-seed model plant Physcomitrium patens and using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to perform...
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,...
This Project Grant award of $279,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University to research designing and evaluating plant cell type-specific promoters. The fellowship, titled "Designing and Evaluating Plant Cell Type Specific Promoters", will support a research and training plan to use artificial intelligence (AI) methods to define patterns in the genetic regulatory code and predict...
This $959,997 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports collaborative research at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to develop improved methods for plant transformation and regeneration. The research aims to provide a thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying regeneration in maize, a key crop that provides a substantial portion of human caloric intake. By exploiting a "morphogenic-based"...
