- This $507,077 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of Oregon to investigate how natural selection during early plant reproduction influences patterns of inheritance, seedling fitness, and the potential for adaptation. Through experimental manipulations and genomic analyses in the model plant Mimulus guttatus, the researchers will identify deviations from expected genetic transmission...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $399,116 to the University of Oregon to explore the genetic and genomic factors underlying the repeated evolution of red flowers in the Mimulus aurantiacus plant species. The research aims to identify candidate mutations controlling this trait, map epistasis and its impact on selection efficacy, and distinguish between linkage and pleiotropy as causes for genetic correlations with...
- 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 $520,720 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to develop new tools for incorporating emerging models of genetics into genetic mapping, prediction, and simulation. The research, conducted by Colorado State University, aims to better integrate molecular and cellular biology knowledge into statistical models used to map genes, predict traits, and simulate changes in the genotype-to-phenotype...
- This $1,545,144 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research at Michigan State University to understand the genetic, developmental, morphological, and physiological mechanisms of local adaptation of the coastal ecotype of Mimulus guttatus to oceanic salt spray. The three-year award, issued on June 1, 2022 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research divided into three aims. The first aim examines avoidance of salt spray through compact growth and late...
- 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 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 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $656,273 to the University of Montana to conduct collaborative research on the mechanisms and consequences of centromere drive in monkeyflowers. The project aims to investigate how genes and DNA sequences cause selfish centromere drive, how plants resist this drive, and the impacts on seed and pollen production. The research team will leverage new chromosome-scale genome...
- 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 $1,714,712 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to critically evaluate the ecological and functional drivers of polyploid establishment in plants. The project aims to use population-level experiments with a model aquatic species under varied stresses to elucidate the mechanisms that allow polyploid species to thrive, especially in stressful habitats. The research will contribute to understanding the formative...
