Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Andrea Acuña's research focuses on the genetics and physiology of soybean (Glycine max) with an emphasis on seed composition and stress tolerance. Her work investigates the genetic architecture of seed protein and oil content, exploring quantitative trait loci (QTL) derived from specific soybean lines. Acuña has studied the impact of environmental factors, such as planting dates and flooding, on edamame and soybean quality, yield, and seed composition. Her research also includes developing high-throughput methods for screening soybean germplasm for tolerance to environmental stressors like hypoxia. Acuña has published on soybean flood tolerance and registered new germplasm lines that exhibit high protein content or flood tolerance. She has collaborated extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Liliana Florez‐Palacios, Leandro Mozzoni, Chengjun Wu, and Derrick Harrison, with whom she shares multiple publications.
