Extreme temperatures during the growing season can wreak havoc on crops, and are becoming more common. Husker researchers are working toward developing more resilient crops, and Rebecca Roston recently spoke with RFD-TV about these efforts at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

Nebraska’s Rebecca Roston is leading a team that recently received a $1.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation to pursue an innovative strategy for enhancing the cold tolerance of sorghum — and eventually, its close relative, corn.

A summer’s worth of missed opportunities to harvest light can cost cornfields, and those who farm them, a sizable portion of the potential harvests they yield in the fall. New findings from Nebraska’s Kasia Glowacka and colleagues could help change that.
