Nutrition

Nebraska's Karl Reinhard in his lab on East Campus. By analyzing the fossilized gut contents of a U.S. Marine killed in the Korean War, Reinhard and his colleagues have determined what the Marine ate to survive in the 12 days following a siege of the Chosin Reservoir by 120,000 Chinese troops. The analysis indicated that the Marine subsisted on so-called famine foods — eating mostly stems, roots and leaves from flowering plants. The case study helps illustrate the dire realities of trying to consume adequate nutrition after being separated from supply lines by overbearing enemy forces. May 12, 2021.

David Holding, Associate Professor in Agronomy and Horticulture, and graduate student Leandra Marshall compare a recently harvested ear to ones nearing harvest in The Beadle Center’s greenhouse. The researchers have developed a new line of popcorn high in protein. January 30, 2019. Photo by Craig Chandler / University Communication.

Leandra Marshall holds an ear harvested from popcorn growing in the Beadle Center’s greenhouse. Once the seed line is developed, it will be hybridized for larger ears and larger popped kernels.

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.

Nebraska researchers Karsten Koehler (second from right) and Christopher Gustafson (right) have found that a person's choice of post-workout snack (exercise participant represented by Darius Fox) -- an apple vs. a brownie, in a recent experiment -- can depend on when the choice is made. Study participants who decided before exercising were about one-third more likely to choose an apple than were those who decided afterward. January 18, 2019.
