1/17/2024 | Dr. Saumik Basu | Entomology | "Investigating plant-insect-pathogen interactions using molecular and ecological approaches." Abstract: In agroecosystems, plants frequently confront multiple biotic stressors, including herbivores and pathogens. The nature of these interactions plays a crucial role in mediating the activation of plant defense mechanisms. However, the nature and magnitude of these defense responses and host plant quality are dependent on the diversity, traits, and order of arrival of multiple biotic stressors. In my research, I use various molecular and ecological tools to investigate the various plant mediated above- and belowground interactions and seeking strategies to develop sustainable and novel pest and pathogen management strategies. |
