Co-sponsored by EEOB Title to be announced Monday, March 11th at 4:10pm, in E164 Lagomarcino Hall Open, A Genetic and Biochemical Basis for Natural Variation in Maize Aphid Resistance Monday, March 25th at 4:10pm, in E164 Lagomarcino Hall Georg Jander, Boyce Thomson Research Institute and Cornell University, NY Abstract: Plants show considerable within-species variation in their susceptibility to insect herbivores. In the case of Zea mays (maize) infested with Rhopalosiphum maidis (corn leaf aphid), there is 100-fold range in aphid progeny production on different inbred lines. Benzoxazinoids, a class of secondary metabolites found in many grasses, are known to influence herbivore resistance.

VIrus-Insect Interactions Initiative, ISU Health Research Initiative Molecular Interactions Between the Pea Aphid and Pea enation mosaic virus Monday, April 1st at 4:10pm, in E164 Lagomarcino Hall Luke Linz, Department of Entomology and Program in Microbiology, ISU PhD dissertation seminar Towards Target Validation in Pests: From Candidate Receptors to Phenotypes Monday, April 8th at 4:10pm, in E164 Lagomarcino Hall Patricia Pietrantonio, Department of Entomology, Texas A & M Abstract: Abstract: Our goal is to systematically study G protein-coupled receptors and other plasma membrane receptors to identify both novel and critical functions that could be targeted for pest control. The post-genomic era provided us with enormous data sets to mine candidate genes, however, their function is predicted and requires experimental validation to advance insect physiology and toxicology. The reverse-genetics approach is used to learn about insect endocrinology in a number of pests of worldwide importance: the dengue vector, the mosquito (A.
