A significant boost in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, amounting to $650,000, is set to advance corn research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The project utilizes innovative RNA-based methods to forecast the success of corn hybrids, potentially transforming how corn crops are developed across diverse environments.
With collaborations extending to five other states, the study is poised to be the largest of its kind, focused on leveraging RNA data for gene identification and trait prediction in corn.
