James Schnable

James Schnable (from left), Rebecca Roston and Toshihiro Obata hold young sorghum plants outside of the Bioscience Greenhouses on City Campus. The researchers are part of a $1.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation to try to boost the cold tolerance of sorghum, and eventually corn and other crops, by harnessing the power of the plant’s circadian rhythms.

James Schnable talks Christine Smith while supervising students sampling corn plants in each plot using a punch to collect the samples 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.

James Schnable talks with Research Manager Christine Smith and Brandi Sigmon, Assistant Professor of practice in Plant Pathology, during a break in the planting. 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.
