• In vivo functional characterization of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in Drosophila melanogaster 

  Luong, Hang Ngoc Bao (2018)

  Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are responsible for fast excitatory synaptic transmission in insect central nervous system. Their role as targets for commercial insecticides have resulted in extensive studies ...

• Population genomics and transcriptomics in the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera 

  Song, Sue Vern (2018)

  Helicoverpa armigera is an agricultural pest that causes billions of dollars' worth of damage each year. As H. armigera has evolved resistance to insecticides, an understanding of resistance genes will provide useful ...

• Understanding aphids: transcriptomics, molecular evolution and pest control 

  Ghodke, Amol Bharat (2018)

  Aphids exhibit fascinating biological features including parthenogenesis, symbiosis, altruism and host-plant preference; all of which would be better understood if genetic tools and molecular biological techniques were ...
