Section Symposium

Plant-Insect Ecosystems

Utilizing 'Omics' Approaches to Understand Plant-insect Interactions

Wednesday, November 8, 2023
8:00 AM – 11:00 AM ET
Location: Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Maryland 1-2

In-Person

Symposium will cover broad range of studies utilizing transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics approaches to answer complex research questions related to plant resistance mechanisms against insects and insect’s counter defense to plants. earch related to plant defense mechanisms, insect physiology and incorporation of omics in development of crop protection solutions.
