Maize

Nebraska’s Jinliang Yang (pictured), assistant professor of agronomy and horticulture, and Gen Xu, post doc and first author of the study and their colleagues, have shown that differences in how genes are turned on and off, rather than actual changes in DNA, may explain some important physiological differences between modern-day maize and a 10,000-year-old ancestral species.

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.

Nebraska’s Joe Louis, assistant professor of Entomology, is testing the resistance of aphids to various varieties of sorghum and corn. A wire is adhered to an aphid's back with conductive paint. A plant is given an electric charge. As the aphid sucks the sugars in the plant, the electric flow increases and is measured. On aphid-resistant plants, the current barely registers. Louis holds a dish of leaves infested by corn-leaf aphids. Louis and his colleagues have found that spraying a corn plant with one of its own defensive compounds might reduce aphid colonization by as much as 30 percent. The lab setup is at left.
