Leon V. Kochian is Director of the USDA-ARS Robert W. Holley Center for Agriculture and Health, which is located on the Cornell University campus. He also is Professor in the Department of Plant Biology and also in the Department of Crop and Soil Science at Cornell University. He received his B.A. in Botany at the University of California at Berkeley in 1978, and his Ph.D. in Plant Physiology at the University of California at Davis in 1984. In 1985 he took a position as a Plant Physiologist with USDA-ARS at the U. S. Plant, Soil and Nutrition Laboratory on the Cornell campus. Dr. Kochian became Director of the U.S. Plant, Soil and Nutrition Laboratory in 1997, and assumed the role of Director of the newly established Robert Holley Center in 2007. Dr. Kochian’s research deals with the molecular biology and physiology of mineral ion transport processes as they relate to mineral nutrient acquisition, plant responses to abiotic environmental stresses, and micronutrient density of food crops. This involves the interdisciplinary application of research approaches from molecular biology, genetics, physiology, and biochemistry to understand fundamental mechanisms and genes that control mineral nutrient acquisition as well as tolerance to both mineral deficiencies and mineral excess (toxic metals) in the soil. Dr. Kochian is an AAAS Fellow as well as an American Society of Plant Biologists Fellow, and is a Supergrade scientist for ARS.
