In a great collaboration led by @ecahoon2 we engineered Camelina to make astaxanthin, which is used in aquafeed diets (to give a pink hue). We used genes from the Adonis plant - picture below gives a clue why! Helping to make aquaculure more sustainable. rothamsted.ac.uk/news/camelina-…
Visit by our Crop-to-Innovation Research & Extension Experiences for Undergrads today at the Eastern Nebraska Research, Education & Extension Center @NebENREEC. Learning where our food comes from. @UNL_AgResearch @UNL_PSI @NFHC_NU @UNL_Biochem @UNLFoodScience @unlagrohort
Important update on the exploitation of our omega-3 technology - really pleased to now be working with @NuseedGlobal to help deliver additional new sources of plant-derived EPA+DHA in camelina. nuseed.com/33321-2/
Great "Aloha" party today for Shirley Sato & Tom Clemente. Aloha may mean "good bye" but it also means "love" and "affection". We'll miss you Shirley & Tom! Mahalo! @TEClemente1 @unlagrohort @UNLresearch @UNL_AgResearch @CABBIbio
Join us for Shirley Sato & Tom Clemente Retirement Aloha on Mon, June 23 at 3 pm, Beadle Atrium. Wear a Hawaiian shirt! @UNLresearch @UNL_AgResearch @unlagrohort @NESoybeanBoard @NebraskaWheat @CABBIbio
Field 2025 started. We are done with planting for soybean and sorghum field trials today. Thank Pat and Derek. @UNL_PSI @unlagrohort @NESoybeanBoard @CABBI

In a "game changer" for plant bioengineering, CABBI researchers used a robotic lab to make genetically engineered plants - and to boost oil production in plant cells. The advance will accelerate work to develop better bioenergy crops. 🌱 News ➡️ cabbi.bio/cabbi-team-dep… (1/2)
Enjoyed a small camelina & crop biotech conference with colleagues from Lund U, Swedish U of Ag Sciences & Rothamsted Red this week in Lund & Alnarp, Sweden. @JohnathanNapie1 @UNL_AgResearch @UNLresearch @Ro
In plant lipid community, we don’t say “hejdå/goodbye/再见”. We say“Vi ses/so long/再会”. Great to have @ecahoon2 @JohnathanNapie1 visit Skåne where oilseed plants are one of the icons inspiring generations of farmers, researchers and innovators.
It was a genuine pleasure and honour to visit Sweden and discuss exciting opportunities with colleagues from SLU and Lund. And great to catch up with old friends too! Events like this make me more sure our science can really help solve global challenges.

2024 @CABBIbio biotech sorghum harvest today in Nebraska...toward a new SAF feedstock. #SAF @UNL_AgResearch @UNLresearch
Join us for a special seminar, Thursday, Aug 8, 3 pm E228 Beadle: Prof Xiao-Li Tan, Jiangsu University who will speak on canola cold tolerance and jasmonic acid. @unlagrohort @UNL_PlantPath @UNLresearch @UNL_AgResearch @UNL_Biochem
This is an impressively well-structured summer program with support from dedicated @UNL_IANR faculty. Boosts the talent pipeline for future scientists in ag and natural resources x.com/ecahoon2/statu…
Last Wednesday lunch of the 2024 @USDA_NIFA REEU-Crop-to-Food Innovation program. Students practiced poster presentations to prepare for next week's research symposium. Great undergrads! @UNL_PSI @UNLFoodScience @UNL_Biochem @unlagrohort @UNL_AgResearch @UNLresearch
