Corn Research

James Schnable’s group is testing Phenobot, a robot that measures leaf angle on corn to see how well the plant is performing photosynthesis. What used to be done by hand using protractors is now quickly done by a camera fitted with cameras and lights being guided up and down the rows. August 10, 2023.

Students use a punch to collect samples from several corn plants in each plot at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Department of Agronomy and Horticulture research fields at 84th and Havelock. The leaf punches will be tested for high throughput RNA and will be tested across it's 30,000 genes and almost 300 metabolites. The student workers are testing the plants as part of James Schnable's research group. July 8, 2020. Photo by Craig Chandler / University Communication.
