Anthony Joseph Studer
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
Crop sciences
University of Illinois at urbana champaign
United States of America
Biography
He has done his Ph.D. Genetics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2011, B.S. Biology, Defiance College, 2005.
Research Interest
His lab studies the evolution, regulation, and function of the carbon concentrating mechanism employed by plants for C4 photosynthesis. This process plays an important role in carbon dioxide uptake and transpirational water loss, and thus, has direct implications for photosynthetic and water-use efficiency. Elucidating the genetic control of photosynthesis will enable the manipulation of crops (through both breeding and engineering) to improve productivity and sustainability, which will be vital for food and fuel security in a changing environment.
