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?

FFAR Fellow @NikeeShrestha2 explains how she uses satellites to study corn genetics. "You might be thinking how can we choose the best corn? Because it's all corn. That's where genetics comes in." @AII4RA (1/2)

We're starting the search for the next leader of the Nebraska Plant Transformation Center. This is an open rank faculty position. That means we are open to, and the the financial support to hire someone at the assistant, associate or full professor level. (1/5)

🌱Say goodbye to labor-intensive scoring! A recently published study leverages autoencoders to extract plant traits from maize hyperspectral data, showing significant repeatability and genetic associations. #AIinAg #Phenomics

Using autoencoders -- an unsupervised ML approach -- to derive plant traits from hyperspectral reflectance data. Potentially bypasses the need for extensive labeled datasets. Big thank you to lead author @tross_michael and our @aii4ra collaborators. https://t.co/ouuAaKF6TG

Dr. Vla Torres-Rodriguez @vla_torres hits peak plant scientist in this photo. From a new story about his work showing gene expression data can be re-used to identify the genes that make corn varieties different from each other across multiple environments. https://t.co/Q2svcRD0DU
