- This $300,753 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences will fund research into plant-fungal associations between seagrasses and marine fungi under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Over a two-year period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024, the Regents of the University of California at Riverside will analyze publicly available data and conduct culture-dependent and -independent methods to characterize the phenotypic and functional diversity...
- 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 $955,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research by the Trustees of Clark University on the diversity, evolution, and secondary metabolism of microscopic fungi called Basidiobolus. The project aims to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships among Basidiobolus species, explore how their secondary metabolite genes vary and potentially originated from bacteria, and examine how evolutionary forces shape these...
- This $223,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining seed-fungal interactions and their influence on tropical tree recruitment. Over a four-year period ending in February 2027, the University of Arizona will investigate how seed chemistry, environmental conditions, and genetic factors determine outcomes of seed-fungal relationships in tropical forests. Researchers will use metabolomics and assays to study seed...
