- This federal Project Grant award of $637,156 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Portland State University to investigate how natural selection during early reproductive stages in plants can influence patterns of inheritance, seedling fitness, and the potential for adaptation. The research project will use the model plant Mimulus guttatus to explore how processes like gametophytic selection and selective embryo abortion...
- 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 National Science Foundation project grant of $240,000 supports research investigating the genomic consequences of hybridization in the Mimulus guttatus complex from June 2023 through May 2026. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award enables a postdoctoral research fellowship for integrative research on the rules governing interactions between genomes, environments and phenotypes during speciation. The fellow will use genomic analyses and greenhouse crosses to...
- 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 $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 $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 $178,638 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette from November 2022 through October 2026 under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to characterize genetic and organismal adaptations to drought resistance in the common monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus) to inform land management strategies under changing climates. Researchers will study genetic variants and traits that helped populations...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides a postdoctoral fellowship to Eleanore J. Ritter to investigate the evolutionary processes driving the origin and persistence of self-fertilization in monkeyflower species (genus Mimulus). The $279,000 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, will support the fellow's research and training plan at the University of Georgia under the mentorship of Dr. Andrea Sweigart....
- This $418,138 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the mechanisms and consequences of centromere drive in the yellow monkeyflower plant. The primary awardee is Scripps College, a private liberal arts college in Claremont, CA. The research aims to increase understanding of how centromeres, which guide chromosomes during cell division, can selfishly gain unfair access to egg cells, disrupting fair...
- 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...
