These...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $270,241 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to conduct collaborative research on characterizing evolutionarily conserved plant signaling modules that underlie organ development. The research aims to investigate how small molecules made by plants orchestrate organ formation, leveraging the non-seed model plant Physcomitrium patens and using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to perform...
This $750,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) will support collaborative research at the University of Iowa on the evolution and development of fundamental plant reproductive structures called sporangia. The research aims to investigate the molecular genetics of sporangium development in the model fern Ceratopteris, in order to better understand the evolution of sporangia across land plants and fill a knowledge gap about plant...
This $322,925 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Gustavus Adolphus College to characterize stress-responsive peptides from long intergenic non-coding RNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana. The project aims to explore the functional role of 20 newly identified small peptides in plant development and response to environmental stressors, with the goal of identifying potential targets for crop improvement. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers provides $501,356 in funding to Hope College from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The award supports research under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate the transcriptomics underlying environmentally-based plasticity in floral function in maples and other plant species. Specifically, the grantee will examine differences in gene expression and how the...
