Kubota received a Ph.D. in Horticulture Engineering from Chiba University,
Japan in 1994. She also has a Master's degree in Horticultural Science
in 1991 and Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Science in 1989 which
she received from Chiba University. Here at the University of Arizona
she teaches Physiology of Plant Production under Controlled Environment
(PLS 475A/575A). Her research interests include: 1) manipulation of
plant growth and development by environmental control, 2) value added
plant production under controlled environment, 3) long distance transportation
and low temperature storage of transplants, 4) physiology of grafted
seedlings for greenhouse crop production, and 5) photoautotrophic
micropropagation. Dr. Kubota's work has been in publications including
Journal of American Society of Horticultural Science and Scientia
Horticulturae. (For a list of select publications, please see below)
