This Project Grant award of $750,000 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research between U.S. and Swiss investigators to develop a high-throughput platform for identifying transcription factor binding sites during plant lateral organ development. The goal is to create a semi-automated system to determine which genes are active in different plant organ types, such as roots, leaves, and flowers, across two divergent plant...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) federal Project Grant award to Duke University will support research focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the function of DELLA proteins, which are master growth regulators in plants. The $1,337,663 award will fund investigations into how DELLA proteins control gene expression and how their activity is regulated through phosphorylation, with the goal of enhancing strategies to manipulate...
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 $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 $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...
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 $377,731 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, aims to employ machine learning and multi-omics network approaches to predict protein functions in the model plant system Arabidopsis. The research will integrate diverse biological datasets, including transcriptome studies, transcription factor-target networks, and protein-protein interactions, to develop computational models that can accurately predict gene...
