This project explores how the western corn rootworm uses plant compounds called benzoxazinoids for its defense. By employing advanced imaging and ecological methods, it aims to understand the effects of these compounds on the pest's performance and its resistance to natural enemies, contributing to better crop protecti…
Some herbivores can sequester and use plant secondary metabolites for their own defense.
Despite many examples of sequestration, the impact of these compounds on herbivore performance and natural enemy resistance in still not well understood, especially for root herbivores.
The objective of this project is to investigate the biological relevance of benzoxazinoid N-glycosylation by the western corn rootworm Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, one of the main pests of maize that sequesters benzoxazino…
