Elizabeth E. Hood is a plant geneticist and the Lipscomb Distinguished Professor of Agriculture at Arkansas State University.[1] In 2018 she was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[2]
Education and career
Elizabeth Hood was born in 1952.[3] She attended the University of Oklahoma earning a BA in sociology in 1974. In her masters she switched to botany, studying the biochemistry of a cyanobacteria (Anabaena variabilis).[3] After completing her masters she moved to Washington University in St. Louis where she studied the natural plant genetic engineering capabilities of Agrobacterium tumefaciens as a PhD student studying with Mary-Dell Chilton and Robert Fraley.
From 1988-1994 she was an assistant professor of biology at Utah State University. After that six year interval she worked in industry, first at Pioneer Hi-Bred and then at ProdiGene. In 2003 she was a program manager at the National Science Foundation.[4] In 2004 she was hired at Arkansas State University.[1] In 2008 she was appointed the Lipscomb Distinguished Professor of Agriculture.[5]
Research
During her time at Washington University in St. Louis Elizabeth Hood created the Agrobacterium strain EHA101 which is widely used in plant transformation.[6][7] Her research at Arkansas State University focuses on using plants as factories to produce large quantities of enzymes[8] and studying how plants construct cell walls.[9] She is the Arkansas representative for the Genomes to Fields public-private consortium working to enable to accurate phenotypic prediction in corn/maize across the different environments found in thirty different US states.[10]
