Gene Variants to Protect Against Yield Loss During Heat-Stress Conditions
Modifies Corn to Reduce Yield Loss Due to Heat StressThese gene variants will help protect against heat-stress-induced yield loss in corn and should help maintain productivity as climate change results in more frequent and more severe heat-stress events. Corn is the most popular grain crop produced globally, and is projected to be the most consumed...

Device for Automating Sorting of Haploid Maize Kernels
Uses Spectroscopy to Rapidly Distinguish and Sort Haploid Seeds for Maize Breeding Single kernel near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) has been refined to sort haploid kernels created for use in maize breeding. Using the methods developed by UF’s researchers should reduce labor costs associated with manual sorting of seeds and multiply...
