The National Science Foundation awarded a $293,150 project grant to Fayetteville State University under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) for research initiation on a multi-locus genome-wide association study and gene expression analysis of anticancer peptide lunasin in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) seeds. The three-year award beginning June 1, 2021 will support the university's research into identifying genetic markers and gene pathways related to the production of lunasin, a peptide...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), under the Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health program (CFDA 93.213), aims to discover novel terpene synthases and carotenoid-modifying enzymes within the human gut microbiome. The $822,442 grant, awarded on Sep 13, 2024, will support research at North Carolina State University to employ a phage-based functional metagenomics approach and high-throughput screening...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $115,172 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct collaborative research on soybean's response to phosphate and iron deficiency. The objective is to use quantitative phosphoproteomics to unravel the signaling pathways underlying soybean's sensing and immediate response to these nutrient stresses. This research aims to help develop soybean...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $2.4 million project grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to advance developmental regulator-enabled plant transformation and genome editing in soybeans. Over a three-year period concluding in July 2025, the University will develop an efficient and open-source genetic transformation system for soybeans utilizing developmental regulator genes. Researchers will identify...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $147,656 Project Grant (CFDA 93.859 - Biomedical Research and Research Training) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to develop a system of modular chimeric tRNA synthetases (MOCHI-RS) that can enable "plug-and-play" incorporation of non-canonical amino acids into macrocyclic peptide therapeutics. The goal is to create a more flexible and diverse platform for engineering macrocyclic peptides...
This $263,431 project grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program will support collaborative research at California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc. to study soybean's signaling responses to phosphate and iron deficiency. The objective is to apply quantitative phosphoproteomics techniques to identify the differentially phosphorylated proteins that regulate how soybeans sense and respond to these nutrient stresses. This research aims to bridge...
This $851,545 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate the mechanisms underlying the interactions between beneficial microbes and plant immune systems. The key objectives of the 3-year project are to: 1) understand how a common plant-colonizing bacterium called Sphingomonas evades activation of the plant immune system during early...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) is funding research to elucidate the biosynthesis and identify novel dehydrated nonribosomal peptides (DHAA-NRPs) from Streptomyces bacteria. The $300,892 award to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) aims to discover previously unidentified DHAA-NRPs, characterize their biosynthetic pathways, and assess their potential...
This $750,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research at the University of Tennessee focused on identifying major soybean resistance genes against soybean cyst nematode (SCN). SCN is the most yield-limiting pathogen of soybeans in the U.S., causing an estimated $1.5 billion in annual losses. The research aims to confirm the function of...
The Trustees of Indiana University received a three-year, $180,000 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program.
