The SunLab at Sichuan Agricultural University will deploy cutting-edge omics platforms and develop novel multi-omic integration methods to undermine mechanisms underlying crop resilience, NUE, and disease resistance. Join us for great science and amazing food in Chengdu!

Great talk by Vladimir Torres, PhD as part of the Nebraska Agronomy and Horticulture seminar series.

Thanks James Schnable, Vladimir Torres, PhD and Schnable Lab for your support.

Trevor Nolan of Caltech presenting his research on spatiotemporal control of root growth and development at the 2024 #PlantScienceRetreat hosted by UNL PSI ! Great work using single cell genomic tools, thanks for sharing!

We have expanded our sequence indexed, transposon induced BonnMu maize 🌽 mutant repository ⁩to 426.000 insertions in 93% of genes w/ on av. 12 mutant alleles/gene. We have now also mutations in European Flint lines DK105, F7 & EP1. ⁦The Plant Journal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tp…

🚀 My article is finally out! After so many long days, I can’t forget to celebrate this achievement! Marie-Anne Van Sluys Ravi Mural James Schnable academic.oup.com/gbe/article/16…

Most plant properties (phenotypes) are determined by a mix of genetics (G) and environment (E). But wouldn't it be simpler if some phenotypes were determined by genetics and others by environment? That's what ... (1/3)

How to effectively write in collaborative environments. (A rant).

#OTD 15 years ago, the draft genome of the maize 🌽 inbred line B73 was published. MaizeGDB

My talk "How to science (and how not to science)" presented at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences; course "How to pick a scientific problem" organized by Shamik Mazumdar and Simon Stael. November 18, 2024. doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…

I am so excited to see all the results this project lead by Deniz İştipliler , who is an amazing scientist, will produce! Way to go Deniz!!

Transcriptome wide association studies in plants can address some of the biggest limitations of GWAS, particularly identifying specific candidate genes. New review lead by Vladimir Torres, PhD with input from Delin Li (1/2)

My boss Ed Cahoon has been elected to the National Academy of Inventors! More than 36 patents, the first discovery of novel fatty acids since the 1970s, and additional discoveries and impacts too numerous for X's character limit. Congratulations, Ed!

Ten years ago Dryland Genetics was a brainstorming session with my dad. Then a pitch deck. Then a plant breeding program. Now an actual business with customers and supply chains and sales reps and marketing materials. Crazy ride.

Celebrating Fangyi Li today! Her work may change how some photosynthetic traits are measured in fields and taught me how little I know about cold tolerance! She graduated with her Ph.D. today hooded by James Schnable and myself, her co-mentors. UNL PSI Nebraska Agronomy and Horticulture Nebraska Biochem

It takes experiments in many places to understand corn. But distant experiments usually get less attention. That’s why I’m excited about satellites. @NikeeShrestha2 lead this AIIRA - AI Institute for Resilient Agriculture project to phenotype individual corn hybrid yield plots at 5 sites spanning 725 miles (1,200 km).

James Schnable telling 3 stories in 15 minutes on using better algorithms and better data to: 1) Find the right traits, from Hongyu Jin 2) Find the genes controlling those traits, from Harshita 3) Find sequences controlling expression of those genes, from Michael Tross.

Let’s go Jensina Davis Schnable Lab !!

The 4 PhDs I mentor presenting at #MGC2025. Waqar Ali Genes controlling yield components Harshita Diverse transcriptional responses to low nitrogen. Nikee Shrestha Plants prefer exons be divisible by 3. Jensina Davis Linking gene expression and phenotypic plasticity.

During poster sessions I like to check in on presenters from our lab. I think Vladimir Torres, PhD has maxed out most people listening to him explain his poster on combined species transcriptome wide association studies.
