Gōngxǐ nǐ, Jīn bóshì! (Congratulations, Dr. Jin!) Hongyu Jin As usual I made a mess of my pronunciation in person.

Congratulations to Dr. Jin (Hongyu Jin) for successfully defending his thesis! The one and only coolest PhD student I've ever seen… truly a superstar! 🌟 #PhD #DefenseSuccess #Superstar #genetics

🌱 Happy to share one more paper from my time Schnable Lab with the dream collaborative team James Schnable & Rebecca Roston! Rhythmicity in lipid responses to chilling stress in panicoid grasses & Arabidopsis is now online JXB academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar… #Plant #StressResilience

Saliency from an AI model originally trained to predict gene expression patterns to identify regulatory sequences up to 15 kb away from target genes in the maize and sorghum genomes. New preprint lead by Michael Tross. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

I am excited to share the fourth publication from my PhD thesis! In this study, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of the interaction between sorghum and sugarcane aphids. Frontiers - Plant Science CAS Research OSU Nebraska Entomology #researcharticles

Using autoencoders -- an unsupervised ML approach -- to derive plant traits from hyperspectral reflectance data. Potentially bypasses the need for extensive labeled datasets. Big thank you to lead author Michael Tross and our @aii4ra collaborators. doi.org/10.1002/ppj2.2…

🌱Say goodbye to labor-intensive scoring! A recently published study leverages autoencoders to extract plant traits from maize hyperspectral data, showing significant repeatability and genetic associations. #AIinAg #Phenomics acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

One of the 25 inspiring women in plant biology -- selected from around the globe -- works here at UNL. Congratulations Seema Sahay!

We're starting the search for the next leader of the Nebraska Plant Transformation Center. This is an open rank faculty position. That means we are open to, and the the financial support to hire someone at the assistant, associate or full professor level. (1/5)

Congrats CHIDANAND ULLAGADDi on your first paper as a part of our team! Confirming models for NIR phenotyping of corn kernels generalize well to samples from around the globe with Prof. Kamruzzaman's outstanding research group at @illinoisabe. doi.org/10.1016/j.food…

Dr. Korth (Nate Korth)'s paper mapping genes in sorghum that create changes in human gut microbiomes fed different kinds of sorghum is out today in G3. doi.org/10.1093/g3jour…

Congrats Ramesh Kanna ! 🙌

When I started in plant phenotyping we'd ask: How close can we get to human performance? Now Nikee Shrestha (Nikee Shrestha) is asking: How much better than humans are we doing?

Now that's the sort of headline we like to see! Way to go Prof. Torres-Rodriguez. Nebraska Agronomy and Horticulture UNL PSI Nebraska Today
