- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the evolution of specialization in plant-endosymbiont relationships under varying environmental conditions. The $175,511 award to the University of South Alabama will evaluate the partnership between a saltmarsh grass and its fungal partners along a stress gradient, assessing how these associations change in response to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $234,897 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) for a 3-year collaborative research project. The project aims to develop a new framework for understanding the evolution of specialization in plant-endosymbiont responses to varying environments, with a focus on saltmarsh ecosystems. Key products and services to be delivered include: Evaluating the extent of mutual...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $138,000 Project Grant to study how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi impacts pollination and plant fitness in anthropogenically disturbed environments. The grant, provided under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research from August 2021 to July 2023 exploring how the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi is impacted by human disturbances and influences plant reproduction. The Biological Sciences program aims to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $322,288 to William Marsh Rice University to conduct collaborative research on host-microbe symbiosis and its effects on plant fitness. The research team will explore how the impacts of fungal symbionts on their grass host plants fluctuate in response to environmental conditions, testing the hypothesis that host-microbe symbioses may confer greater stability compared...
- This National Science Foundation award under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $127,687 to Warren Wilson College to conduct collaborative research on the role of plant-associated microbes in forest ecosystems from November 2022 to May 2025. The research will explore how tree diversity influences leaf and root microbiome communities, leaf chemistry, insect populations, and ultimately tree productivity. Researchers will leverage a 32-acre tree biodiversity experiment in...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The grant supports a postdoctoral research fellowship focused on examining priority effects within and between fungal symbiont guilds associated with a native grass species, Schizachyrium scoparium. The research will manipulate the order of arrival of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root endophytic fungi to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $849,948 to the University of California, Berkeley aims to identify bioactive compounds produced by mutualistic fungi and quantify the costs of producing these compounds. The research will focus on the symbiotic relationship between loblolly pine trees and Suillus fungi, examining how fungi balance defending against competitors versus supporting their host trees. The project will induce metabolite...
