Understanding and exploiting the insect P450 resistome (P450RESIST)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2016, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2020,

Insect resistance to synthetic insecticides and the anti-herbivore defence chemicals produced by many plants is an ongoing challenge to sustainable pest management while also an exceptional model system to study adaptive evolution. The cytochrome P450s are a superfamily of enzymes that are ubiquitous in nature, and one of the most important enzyme families used by insects to defend themselves agai ...

Space use by bees– radar tracking of spatial movement patterns of key pollinators (SpaceRadarPollinator)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 mars 2019,

Current radar tracking technology to monitor insect movements in space allows us to catch only glimpses of their spatial movements – it is severely constrained by the restricted range that can be covered, the fact that individuals can only be tracked one at a time, and the lack of a height dimension. Here we propose ground-breaking technology advances to make insect telemetry fit for the 21st cent ...

Addiction of Insects for Biosensoring (ActIng)

Date du début: 10 août 2015, Date de fin: 9 août 2017,

Although the value of the olfactory systems of animals, and particularly insects, for detecting key marker chemicals associated with anthropogenic problems has been explored, this training program will study a totally new approach. The objective is to study the possibility of inducing a positive association between an originally aversive marker chemical and an addicting reward in the German cockro ...

Genetics and physiology of wheat development to flowering: tools to breed for improved adaptation and yield potential (ADAPTAWHEAT)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,

"ADAPTAWHEAT will show how flowering time variation can be exploited for the genetic improvement of the European wheat crop to optimise adaptation and performance in the light of predicted climate change. It will test current hypotheses that postulate specific changes in ear emergence and the timing and duration of developmental phases, which are thought of as components of ear emergence, will i ...

Ecofriendly synergists for insecticide formulations (ECOSYN)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,

Insect pests cause significant damage to agricultural crops and transmit several important diseases of humans and animals. Chemical insecticides have been used to control insect pests for many decades and remain essential to ensure a supply of affordable food and as part of disease vector control for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, the world-wide use of synthetic insecticides over many year ...
