In 2016, Dr. Sakiko Okumoto presented Establishing genetics tools for Amaranthus palmeri. 

Dr. Okumoto is an Associate Professor of Plant Physiology in the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences at Texas A&M University and Texas A&M AgriLife Research. She is leading research focused on advancing crop varieties with biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) trait to improve nitrogen retention and fertilizer-use efficiency. A key part of her work examines how BNI compounds are produced and secreted by roots, including the genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate their production, transport, and secretion.
