- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $455,612 to Purdue University to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of guard cell turgor and the rise of angiosperms. The research aims to develop a new method to directly measure guard cell turgor pressures across different plant lineages, in order to better understand the regulation of stomatal opening and closing in response to environmental stresses...
- This $816,954 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Purdue University from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to understand how plant cells perceive signals from their environment and scale responses to promote beneficial interactions and discourage harmful interactions. Specifically, the project will test the conservation of the Feronia/MLO signaling module in plant-biotic interactions and...
- This Project Grant award in the amount of $850,435 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences Program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research project to characterize evolutionarily conserved plant signaling modules that underlie organ development. The project aims to investigate how small molecules produced by plants orchestrate organ formation, using the non-seed model plant species Physcomitrium patens as a research system. The research will contribute to public...
- This Project Grant award of $1,159,007 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research effort between three laboratories to investigate the mechanisms by which plant tissues sense and respond to mechanical forces during growth and development. The research team from Purdue University will analyze the types of forces acting on plant cells, how they are detected by cell wall and signaling proteins, and how this influences tissue...
- Purdue University was awarded a three-year, $1,002,041 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074). The grant will support research from August 2021 through July 2024 to elucidate the interplay between two chromatin regulators, HDA8 and ELP3, in dynamically controlling primary and secondary metabolic networks in plants. As part of the Biological Sciences program's goal to...
