Karen Hudson

Dr. Hudson’s research interest is the improvement of soybean seed composition while maintaining high yield of protein and oil. The laboratory 1) uses genetic approaches to create new sources for high protein and other value-added traits in soybean seed, and 2) uses molecular biology to dissect the environmental and genetic control of resource allocation within the soybean plant. Our translational research strives to bridge the gap between allele discovery and the incorporation of novel genes into improved soybean lines.
