Nebraska's Cleo Babor, a sophomore plant biology major and new McNair Scholar, and David Holding, associate professor of agronomy and horticulture, pollinate corn hybrids in the Beadle Center greenhouse. The hybrids represent several new breeding programs involving crosses between varieties to develop a multi-colored sweet corn, a variant that features high lysine, and multi-colored, quality-protein popcorn.

Sorghum over a light box. The light box shows kernel vitreousness (light transmittance) which is the desirable phenotype for several reason. Opaque kernels appear dark because they do not transmit light and this is undesirable because it means the corn or sorghum grains are too soft, (and unpoppable in the case of popcorn). So we use a light box to select against the opaque phenotype during the breeding process. Holding has developed sorghum that is easier for livestock to digest and high in nutrients. January 30, 2019.
