Unique Entity ID

A UEI is a government-provided number, like a tax ID number, that’s used to identify businesses eligible for federal grants, awards and contracts.

Note: In April 2022, the federal government replaced its old identifier of choice, the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, with a government-issued UEI. Now all the federal government’s Integrated Award Environment systems use UEI numbers instead of DUNS numbers. So any entity doing business with the federal government must register for a UEI.

FIGHTBLIGHT IS AN INNOVATIVE AND GOAL-ORIENTED PROJECT AIMED AT COMBATING POTATO LATE BLIGHT, THE MOST FORMIDABLE CHALLENGE TO GLOBAL POTATO PRODUCTION. OUR GOAL IS TO INTRODUCE NEW TRAITS FOR DISEASE RESISTANCE THAT WOULD REVOLUTIONIZE HOW WE PROTECT POTATOES FROM THISDEVASTATING DISEASE.THE PROJECT HAS THREE MAIN OBJECTIVES:1. BIOENGINEERING: DEVELOP SOLANACEOUS IMMUNE DECOY RECEPTORS(NLR-ID) SCAFFOLDS TO COMBAT THE HIGHLY VIRULENT STRAINS OF THE POTATO LATE BLIGHT PATHOGEN PHYTOPHTHORA INFESTANS FOUND IN THE FIELD. SOPHIEN KAMOUN LEADS THIS WORK PACKAGE AT THE SAINSBURY LABORATORY(TSL) IN THE UK.2. CISGENICS: UTILIZE EXONUCLEASE-ENDONUCLEASE FUSIONS FOR PRECISE GENETIC ENGINEERING, INCLUDING TARGETED INSERTIONS AND REPLACEMENTS OF CONVENTIONAL INTEGRATED DOMAINS/DECOYS (IDS) WITH INNOVATIVE IDS.THIS PROCESS WILL DELIVER ENGINEERED NLR-IDS CREATED IN OBJECTIVE 1 THROUGH A CISGENIC APPROACH, OVERSEEN BY ALAIN TISSIER AT THE LEIBNIZ INSTITUTE IN GERMANY.3. PATHOLOGY: TEST CISGENIC POTATO VARIETIES EQUIPPED WITH THE NEWLY ENGINEERED NLR-ID RECEPTORS FOR DURABLE RESISTANCE IN BOTH CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS AND FIELD TRIALS AGAINST EPIDEMIC STRAINS OF PHYTOPHTHORAINFESTANS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE LED BY SILVIA RESTREPO AT THE BOYCE THOMPSON INSTITUTE IN THE US.OUR CENTRAL HYPOTHESIS IS THAT BY ENGINEERING NLR-ID SCAFFOLDS TO INCLUDE EFFECTOR TARGETS OF P. INFESTANS, WE CAN ACTIVATE SPECIFIC IMMUNE RECEPTORS AND ACHIEVE DISEASE RESISTANCE. THIS PROPOSAL BUILDS ON PRIOR RESEARCH DEMONSTRATING THE POTENTIAL FOR SHUFFLING NLR-ID WITH UNCONVENTIONAL EFFECTOR TARGETS, PLANT-DERIVED DOMAINS, AND ANTIBODIES, INTRODUCING UNPRECEDENTED FUNCTIONALITIES INTO THE PLANT IMMUNE SYSTEM.THE TIMING FOR FIGHTBLIGHT COULD NOT BE BETTER. ADVANCES IN GENE-EDITING TECHNOLOGY NOW PERMIT EFFICIENT, SCAR-FREE TARGETED INSERTIONS AND GENETIC MODIFICATIONS OVER EXTENSIVE SEQUENCES. BY THE END OF THIS GRANT, WE WILL HAVE DEVELOPED NOVEL CISGENIC TRAITS AND GATHERED FIELD DATA DEMONSTRATING ROBUST RESISTANCE TO P. INFESTANS.FIGHTBLIGHT ALIGNS PERFECTLY WITH THE RESEARCH THEME OF PROGRAMMABLE PLANTS, AS WE SEEK TO BIOENGINEER POTATOES WITH NEW CHARACTERISTICS THAT ENABLE THEM TO WITHSTAND BLIGHT. THIS PROJECT STANDS AS A PIONEERING EXAMPLE OF HOW GENE EDITING (GE) AND CISGENIC APPROACHES CAN OFFER SOLUTIONS TO CROP DISEASES, POTENTIALLY SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY.

DECIPHERING THE REGULATORY ROLES OF PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTERS AT THE SYMBIOTIC INTERFACE IN ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL SYMBIOSIS -OVER 72% OF FLOWERING PLANT SPECIES ARE CAPABLE OF MUTUALISTIC SYMBIOSES WITH ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL (AM) FUNGI. IN THIS NUTRITIONALLY-BASED MUTUALISM, THE FUNGI LIVE WITHIN AND AROUND THE ROOT AND TRANSFER PHOSPHATE AND NITROGEN FROM THE SOIL TO THE ROOT. IN RETURN, THE PLANT CELL PROVIDES THE FUNGI WITH CARBON, IN THE FORM OF LIPID AND SUGARS. THE SYMBIOSIS HAS A HUGE IMPACT ON PLANT MINERAL NUTRITION AND ON THE LEVEL OF CARBON DIRECTED UNDERGROUND, BOTH OF WHICH INFLUENCE MANY ASPECTS OF ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING. PHOSPHATE TRANSPORT PROTEINS MOVE PHOSPHATE ACROSS THE FUNGAL AND PLANT MEMBRANES. PREVIOUS WORK HAS IDENTIFIED PHOSPHATE TRANSPORT PROTEINS ACTIVE DURING SYMBIOSIS AND HAS REVEALED THAT PHOSPHATE TRANSPORT IS A KEY REGULATOR OF THE ASSOCIATION. THIS PROJECT SEEKS A MECHANISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE REGULATORY PROCESS AND AIMS TO IDENTIFY HOW THE PLANT ROOT CELLS SENSE PHOSPHATE AND REGULATE THEIR CELL BIOLOGY TO MAINTAIN THE SYMBIOSIS. THE FUNCTION OF A FUNGAL PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER WILL ALSO BE ASSESSED. THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE A MECHANISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF PHOSPHATE TRANSPORT AND ITS ROLE IN REGULATING THE SYMBIOSIS, WHICH COULD PROVIDE KEY TARGETS FOR BREEDING CROPS THAT ARE OPTIMIZED FOR PHOSPHATE ACQUISITION THROUGH AM SYMBIOSIS. THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCIENTISTS AT ALL LEVELS OF THEIR CAREERS, FROM HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO POSTDOCS. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE ?DISCOVER FRIENDLY FUNGI?, A FOLDSCOPE ACTIVITY DESIGNED TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF AM SYMBIOSIS. DURING AM SYMBIOSES, PHOSPHATE AND CARBON TRANSFER BETWEEN THE PLANT AND FUNGUS OCCURS OVER THE INTERFACE BETWEEN THE FUNGAL ARBUSCULES AND THE PLANT PERIARBUSCULAR MEMBRANE (PAM). PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTERS OF THE PHT1- SUB-FAMILY I, ARE CONSERVED IN AM SYMBIOSIS HOST PLANTS AND AS REVEALED BY MEDICAGO TRUNCATULA PT4 (AND ORTHOLOGS IN OTHER PLANT SPECIES), THEY ARE ESSENTIAL FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYMBIOSIS. IN PT4 LOSS-OF-FUNCTION MUTANTS, EACH ARBUSCULE DIES PREMATURELY AND THE SYMBIOSIS IS TERMINATED, THUS, PT4/ PHOSPHATE TRANSPORT IS A KEY REGULATOR OF THE SYMBIOSIS. THE WORK PROPOSED SEEKS A MECHANISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF THIS REGULATORY PROCESS. PT4 MISSENSE ALLELES UNCOUPLE PHOSPHATE TRANSPORT FROM PREMATURE ARBUSCULE DEATH AND SEVERAL CANDIDATE PT4-INTERACTING PROTEINS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. CANDIDATE INTERACTORS AND THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH PT4 WILD TYPE AND MUTANT PROTEINS WILL BE EVALUATED IN PLANTA. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE INTERACTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE OF SYMBIOSIS WILL BE ASSESSED AND THE HYPOTHESIS THAT PT4 FUNCTION IS MECHANISTICALLY LINKED TO FUNGAL LIPID PROVISIONING WILL BE TESTED. TWO PAM-RESIDENT KINASES ARE REQUIRED FOR ARBUSCULE SURVIVAL; THESE KINASES WILL BE CHARACTERIZED AND THEIR ROLES IN PHOSPHORYLATION OF PT4 ASSESSED. THE WORK PROPOSED INCLUDES STUDIES OF AN AM FUNGAL PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER THAT SHOWS ARBUSCULE-ENHANCED EXPRESSION. USING HOST-INDUCED GENE SILENCING, THE HYPOTHESIS THAT THIS PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER MEDIATES PHOSPHATE EXPORT FROM THE ARBUSCULE WILL BE TESTED. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PURSUIT: UNCOVERING THE HIDDEN DIVERSITY OF GLOEOBACTERIA, AN ENIGMATIC LINEAGE CRUCIAL FOR UNDERSTANDING THE EARLY EVOLUTION OF CYANOBACTERIA -THE EMERGENCE OF CYANOBACTERIA APPROXIMATELY 2 BILLION YEARS AGO WAS A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN EARTH'S HISTORY. CYANOBACTERIA INCREASED THE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN IN THE ATMOSPHERE FROM NEARLY NONE TO OVER 10% OF MODERN LEVELS THROUGH THE PROCESS OF OXYGENIC PHOTOSYNTHESIS. THIS OXYGEN-RICH ATMOSPHERE ALLOWED FOR THE EVOLUTION OF AEROBIC RESPIRATION AND COMPLEX LIFE FORMS. HOWEVER, TRACING THE EARLY EVOLUTION OF CYANOBACTERIA HAS BEEN CHALLENGING BECAUSE CYANOBACTERIA RARELY EVER FORM FOSSILS. IN ADDITION, MOST MODERN CYANOBACTERIA ARE PHYCOBACTERIA, AND THEIR SISTER LINEAGE, GLOEOBACTERIA, ARE VERY RARE ? UNTIL 2020 WE ONLY KNEW OF TWO SPECIES. THE POOR REPRESENTATION OF GLOEOBACTERIA HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE IF THEIR UNIQUE FEATURES WERE ANCESTRAL OR RESULTS OF SPECIFIC EVOLUTIONARY PATHS. RECENT DISCOVERIES, HOWEVER, HAVE REVEALED A MUCH GREATER DIVERSITY WITHIN GLOEOBACTERIA THAN PREVIOUSLY RECOGNIZED, ESPECIALLY IN HIGH-LATITUDE AND HIGH-ALTITUDE HABITATS. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO COMPREHENSIVELY CHARACTERIZE THE HIDDEN DIVERSITY OF GLOEOBACTERIA, WHICH WILL SHED NEW LIGHT ON THE EARLY EVOLUTION OF OXYGENIC PHOTOSYNTHESIS, A PROCESS THAT FUNDAMENTALLY SHIFTED THE TRAJECTORIES OF LIFE ON EARTH. THE FIRST AIM INVOLVES ISOLATING NEW GLOEOBACTERIA CULTURES THROUGH TARGETED FIELDWORK AND REAL-TIME NANOPORE SEQUENCING. THESE CULTURES WILL BE CHARACTERIZED IN THE SECOND AIM BASED ON THEIR GENOMIC, PHYLOGENETIC, MORPHOLOGICAL, AND PHYSIOLOGICAL TRAITS, LEADING TO DETAILED TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTIONS. THE THIRD AIM FOCUSES ON FOSTERING INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH BY ORGANIZING A WORKSHOP TO UNITE EXPERTS FROM VARIOUS FIELDS. THIS STUDY IS CRUCIAL FOR COMPREHENDING THE EVOLUTION OF CYANOBACTERIA, AS GLOEOBACTERIA HOLD KEY INSIGHTS INTO THE ORIGINS OF OXYGENIC PHOTOSYNTHESIS. THE PROJECT PLANS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF KNOWN GLOEOBACTERIA STRAINS TENFOLD AND SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND THE NUMBER OF DESCRIBED SPECIES, BRIDGING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS OF EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY. FURTHER, GIVEN THAT POLAR REGIONS ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY THREATENED BY CLIMATE CHANGE, THIS WORK WILL HELP DOCUMENT AND CONSERVE KEY MICROBIAL DIVERSITY BEFORE THESE HABITATS DISAPPEAR. STUDENT TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE PROVIDED AT VARIOUS ACADEMIC LEVELS, AND BY PARTNERING WITH LET?S BOTANIZE, THE FINDINGS OF THIS RESEARCH WILL BE BROADLY COMMUNICATED TO THE PUBLIC. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
