Title:
Proteomic investigation of desiccation tolerance in the intertidal seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum
Agreement Number:
925669
Agreement Value:
$25,000.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2019 - Mar 31, 2020
Description:
Funds will be used to employ proteomics strategies to elucidate cellular mechanisms that enable the remarkable desiccation tolerance of intertidal seaweeds. These findings will be leveraged to identify homologous systems in terrestrial plants that may be exploited to confer increased tolerance to environmental stressors including drought, extreme temperatures and salinity.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
NAICS Code:
