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!

Our corn is going in the ground! Only two weeks behind schedule. Far from the latest we've planted.

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

Dr. @tross_michael!!! Congratulations for successfully defending you PhD thesis! You did amazing and all the @SchnableLab is proud of you!

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

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. A screenshot from today's lab meeting.

Please consider attending the 2023 Nebraska Plant Science Symposium! The deadline to be considered for a student talk or lightning talk has been extended to 3/31. For more information on speakers, student/lightning talks, poster presentation, or workshops, visit the link below.
