Food Systems

  • Production

Food Security

  • Nutrition

Dr. Huber focuses on signaling and metabolic pathways that impact plant growth and development. A lot of work is with Arabidopsis with the intent to translate to crops using endogenous gene editing approaches. His group is also interested in canopy position effects on soybean seed composition (protein/oil and minerals), which may have relevance to human nutrition in areas where soybeans are grown for food. He hopes to identify novel strategies to enhance productivity and improve crop nutritional quality.
