Rate My Professor Kim Johnson

As Program Lead in the ARC Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space and contributor to the La Trobe Institute for Sustainable Agriculture and Food, she develops efficient crops for space and terrestrial controlled environments. Notable publications encompass 'The fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins of Arabidopsis. A multigene family of putative cell adhesion molecules' (Plant Physiology, 2003), 'The complex structures of arabinogalactan-proteins and the journey towards understanding function' (Plant Molecular Biology, 2001), 'The classical arabinogalactan protein gene family of Arabidopsis' (The Plant Cell, 2000), 'Using genomic resources to guide research directions. The arabinogalactan protein gene family as a test case' (Plant Physiology, 2002), and 'Hitting the Wall—Sensing and Signaling Pathways Involved in Plant Cell Wall Remodeling in Response to Abiotic Stress' (Plants, 2018). Johnson excels in STEM outreach, co-creating programs including STEM in Agriculture, Ambassadors for Agriculture, and Taste Tomorrow, engaging over 200,000 students. She serves as Discipline Lead for Plant and Soil Sciences and on advisory boards such as In2science, promoting sustainable agriculture education.
