When I started in plant phenotyping we'd ask: How close can we get to human performance?
Now Nikee Shrestha (@NikeeShrestha2) is asking: How much better than humans are we doing?
It's been raining so much that most days it is too wet to get out to our cornfield. But when @Chidu_ullagaddi and @Kyle__Linders made it out there today, our corn looked great!
We've had an outstanding team of undergraduate researchers studying corn in our lab this year. As the semester ends, I want to give a big shout out to Jordan, Natasha, Oddine, Shurouk, Kelsey, Annalise, and Sofia. You folks are amazing, thank you all! @UNL_PSI@unlagrohort
Another successful harvest!
Today, the @SchnableLab completely harvested our Inbred HIPS corn field in Lincoln.
800 plots and ~4800 ears were collected in around 3 hours!

Plenary speaker @szintri discusses gene traits in sorghum, and how all traits are being analyzed together to understand trade offs at the genetic locus level
#sorghum2023
Congratulations @Kyle__Linders! Successfully defended his masters thesis mapping genetic loci controlling variation in biomass and yield component traits in sorghum this afternoon.
We have people from ten different countries in @SchnableLab: US, India, Mexico, Egypt, Nepal, China, Poland, Turkey, Pakistan, and Rwanda.
