Brandi Sigmon

Brandi Sigmon and Christine Smith pours a packet of seeds into the hopper as the tractor slowly travels the field. James Schnable corn research group plants at agronomy fields at 84th and Havelock in northeast Lincoln. Schnable’s lab studies grain DNA to find the best varieties for breeding and genetic modification to help with traits including yields and drought resistance. The 2.5-acre plot was being planted with 752 genotypes in 1680 precisely randomized plots. To plant those plots along with a check genotype, the researchers used 1860 packets of seeds manually poured into a hopper every 7 seconds while sitting atop a custom research planter. May 6, 2020.

Brandi Sigmon operates her homemade cob scanner in the shed at her rural Pickrell home. She is producing 2D and 3D scans of more between 2000 and 3000 cobs of 200 varieties. The visual record shows the cob development according to nitrogen rates applied. Sigmon and her husband, Benny Mote, built the scanner to help further a maize study during the university’s facility shutdown. She is assisted by her son, Wyatt, 7. Sigmon is an Assistant Professor of Practice in Plant Pathology. Research continues as the work moves off campus. April 14, 2020. Photo by Craig Chandler / University Communication.
