Biofortification Lab
AT COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY
Connecting Crop Improvement to Human Health
Welcome to the Rhodes Lab!
 Our mission is to reduce vitamin A deficiency through crop biofortification.
Research in the Rhodes lab is focused on understanding the genetics of carotenoid variation in order to help breeders develop high provitamin A staple crops.
We use tools from crop genetics, human nutrition, and analytical chemistry to strategize and carry out crop biofortification, focusing primarily on sorghum.
