- The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded Texas A&M Agrilife Research $309,419 on August 15, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate how plants coordinate trait integration across drought adaptation and herbivory resistance domains. The research examines 30 species of milkweed (Asclepias) that share a conserved chemical defense repertoire—including latex and cardenolide toxins—yet span wide-ranging climatic niches from deserts...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded $694,162 to University of California Irvine on August 15, 2026, for collaborative research examining how plants coordinate physical structures, physiological processes, and chemical defenses as integrated systems shaped by combined drought and herbivory pressures, supported under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research uses milkweeds (Asclepias) as a study system to investigate trait integration across...
- This $1.3 million National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Cornell University from June 2022 through May 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The research aims to characterize novel plant toxins in milkweed species and examine co-evolutionary relationships between milkweeds and specialist herbivores like monarch butterflies and milkweed bugs. Researchers will determine the mechanisms by which nitrogen-containing cardiac glycoside defenses in milkweeds...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded Cornell University $200,000 in project grant funding on September 1, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate how shifts in plant carbon allocation affect nutrient uptake and primary productivity in northern hardwood forests facing oligotrophication. The research examines interactions between plant nitrogen and phosphorus availability and carbon partitioning across plant tissues to determine...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded Cornell University $745,999 on August 15, 2026, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate the evolutionary ecology of bacterial siderophores in plant-insect-microbe interactions.
