Omic Approaches to Decipher Crop Responses to Arthropod Pests
LISE PINGAULT, senior research associate, Department of Entomology, University of Nebraska–Lincoln
Understanding innate plant defense mechanisms against arthropod pests will provide more information about genes, metabolites and/or regulatory pathways in crops, which will be extremely valuable for plant engineering approaches. In the Molecular Plant-Insect Interactions Lab, multi-omic approaches to characterize crops defense mechanisms in response to chewing and sap-sucking insects, as well as mites, is used.
