Scientists are pursuing complex research into corn genetics, aiming to enable long-term advances in crop health, resilience and productivity.

James Schnable, Charles O. Gardner Professor of Agronomy at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, recently participated in an international research collaboration that for the first time identified the complete set of genetic components for corn. He spoke with RFD-TV about these discoveries.
