This federal Project Grant award of $428,202 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports research on the mechanisms that generate robustness in organ size and shape during plant development. The awardee, Cornell University, will focus on three key areas: (1) understanding how stochasticity in hormone signaling is buffered during organ initiation, (2) elucidating how organ growth is robust to cellular growth fluctuations, and (3) determining how growth coordination mechanisms produce organ shapes that are robust to mechanical conflicts across cell layers. The award period runs from Aug 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030. This research aims to reveal fundamental principles of developmental robustness with potential applications in addressing human birth defects caused by disruptions in these mechanisms.
