Join us at the "From AI to Ag" Graduate Student Symposium! Jan 10, 2025📍San Diego, CA. Explore how AI is revolutionizing agriculture through data-driven innovations! ✈️$1,000 travel awards! Abstract Deadline: Dec 15. fromaitoagsymposium2025.com @WheatCAP @corteva @Bayer4Crops

I was thrilled to get the opportunity to attend #IWC2024Perth this past month thanks to @WheatInitiative! I presented some of my @WheatCAP research, connected with wheat researchers worldwide, and of course saw some Kangaroos!

WGRC and KSU IGF were happy to host @WheatCAP functional genomics workshop! 5-day dive into cytogenetics of wild wheat introgression, RNA-seq genomics, NGS genotyping and PHG imputation, marker design, and omics data integration. @KSUPlantDr @KStateAgRsch @USDA_NIFA @wgrc_ksu

@NCTurfBreeding @CropAndSoil @NCPlantBreeding Congrats @EsdrasCarbajal!!!

Did I mention he won first place in the Agricultural Sciences category? @CropAndSoil @NCPlantBreeding 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@EsdrasCarbajal presenting part of his PhD research!

The Nebraska Extension has announced the 2024 UNL Wheat Variety Tours scheduled in June. @UNLExtension preec.unl.edu/2024-universit…

Congrats #UNLAgroHort's @FrelsintheField – Harold & Esther Edgerton Junior Faculty Award and Greg Dorn – Exceptional Excellence Award! Recipients will be recognized at The Laurels award reception in the fall. ›› go.unl.edu/ivjo #UNL #IANR

The @Huskerwheat team got out to the field during spring break and got some hands on experience for our new and upcoming remote pilots! 🌾✈️

Spent last week on Capitol Hill advocating for agriculture research funding with @ASA_CSSA_SSSA and @NAPlantBreeders! Thanks to our Nebraska legislators for their support! #SupportAgResearch

@Syd_Graham leads off the Husker Wheat team today with her #sawfly phenotyping talk at #acs2023. Lots of hard work here on a really rough pest and I'm super excited by the results!

And in major team news, @ColeHammett won the #acs2023 Golden Opportunity Scholar poster competition! 🎉🎉🎉 Fellow PIs, Cole is looking for a MS program! 🌟🌟

New preprint🧵! We're excited to share the 1st release of the Human Microbiome Compendium, a dataset of publicly available 16S sequencing data from 168,000 human gut microbiome samples, processed using a single pipeline and integrated into one big table. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cole did a fantastic job this summer as an intern in the small grains group. It was a pleasure to be his mentor! He’s on the hunt for a M.S. program in plant breeding so reach out to him if you have any leads!

Update on the UNL barley program and our efforts to develop malting barley at the UNL Hops Field Day from @she_sierra!

I definitely underestimated the amount of space 800 stem samples would take! Shout out to this crew for the help collecting pre-harvest samples in Western NE! #teamsawfly

Thanks to the harvest rain delay the interns and grad students in the @Huskerwheat lab helped me split stems to look for wheat stem sawfly larva, thank you for all the help!!

Ahh! Exciting news! Thanks @C5Turf and all the folks who contributed to this work!!

@true_bug @Huskerwheat Thank you! We’re headed out west next week to do it all again there!

@Huskerwheat @Syd_Graham I have a strong love-hate vibe with that plant resistance trait. Good luck with the season @Syd_Graham !!

@Syd_Graham and our 2023 HIPS grant intern Cole Hammett are spending the summer working on our solid stem wheat breeding program! Turns out the drought in Lincoln is making this hard to phenotype 😬

We hosted 40 farmers and researchers from @Arvalisofficiel yesterday! They got to see our severely drought stressed wheat and triticale trials & we talked hybrid wheat and wheat stem sawfly resistance followed by a trip to the @UNL_IANR & @NebraskaWheat quality lab.
