Current research
Currently, I am working on finding the mechanism behind low protein, iron, and zinc in soybean and corn under elevated carbondioxide condition (global warming). After finding the mechanism, I will be experimenting various sustainable agronomic practices to determine the methods that can increase nutrients in soybean and corn in the future climate scenario.
