Planting from the side - https://t.co/uBRV9plAtB Planting POV -

Planting of the @SchnableLab SbDiv 2025 sorghum field is completed! This 2,438 plot field was the toughest field I worked with due the small plot size (1-row wide and 7.5ft long). However, @Chidu_ullagaddi, @Kyle__Linders, the UNL AgHort farm crew, and I succeeded!

Through the magic of GoPro cameras I'm getting a first person view of @JonathanTurkus install the prototype #NSFfunded "wearable" water use sensors my research team is using to track the water use of individual corn plants minute by minute. #cornhuskercorn

Oc-19 is a cool maize variety. Gorgeous purple, white, and green leaves. However, it is apparently a pain to bulk out due to not producing much pollen. @Kyle__Linders is trying an alternative measure to encourage pollen shed. Pls message if you had issues with Oc19 & found a fix

First time growing inbred sorghum next to inbred maize (maize is in the background and sorghum is in the foreground. They were planted on the same day. Amazing how quickly maize creates biomass by comparison.

Great story by Samantha Grove on how new technology and artificial intelligence is changing corn farming. Features @tross_michael @NikeeShrestha2 & @JensinaDavis as well as @dbatie with some great photos by @LinaLpzc.

My old man told me multiple times to always have a pickup truck on hand. He is absolutely right ! @Bio_lo_Zest drove hundreds of ears, solar panels, poles, and a weather station from Scottsbluff to Kearney. I hiked it the rest of the way to Lincoln.

Fast Flowering Mini-Maize is a fun variety. When I grew the A line in the greenhouse, it was only 15-20inches (38-51cm) tall. So short! However, if it is stressed, it may be even shorter! In the @SchnableLab 2021 nursery. there was a drought. Some FFMM were less than 10in/23cm!

Only five months into her masters and @Harshita17_ has already mapped genes controlling flowering in a 700+ sorghum diversity panel using GWAS and TWAS. Hard to believe this is her first poster presentation ever.

It has been a truly wonderful experience working with you, @LinaLpzc . I will miss you and all you have contributed to the Schnable Lab. But I am happy knowing you will flourish out East! Take care and best of luck! 😁 I will keep an eye out for your X posts!

The cleanest manhattan plot we’ve ever produced in my lab. Part of a new preprint led by @vla_torres linking genes to roles in determining flowering time using expression data using RNA collected from nearly 700 kinds of maize (corn). (1/7) https://t.co/OdH9eoFn5Q

I am always having to look up the precise definitions of different growth stages of corn. This is a great one for flowering to harvest (R1-R6). https://t.co/Gzyigo4JXJ Thanks @PurdueCornGuy !

Correction: CML281. @JonathanTurkus is calling these banana bunch ears.

We are pleased to welcome on Dr. James Schnable as the next Nebraska Corn Checkoff Presidential Chair. Dr. Schnable will serve Nebraska corn growers and continue research that is valuable in bettering their operations. We are excited about the new collaboration! #NECorn

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! Photo by @LinaLpzc

A big thank you to 6 grad students, 4 techs, 2 postdocs and 2 professors who spent this Saturday harvesting and husking corn. One field harvested, three more to go. #cornhuskercorn

It's been a corny summer for our lab and our collaborators @Glowacka_Lab and @cutebyul81 here in the University Of Nebraska's Center for Plant Science Innovation. https://t.co/jKvwtPOD76

Photosynthesis research is absolutely nothing like a real life horror movie. Why do you ask?

I went to @SchnableLab field in Havelock with @Chidu_ullagaddi this morning. We have seen common rust (left) and southern rust (right) in some of inbred line and hybrid line. I was really excited to see them in Lincoln. Thank you for showing all rust pathogens! @szintri 🌽🍄
