Title:
Evaluation of Potential for Reverse Chemical Ecology Tactics for Forest Insect Pests
Agreement Number:
GC-130185S
Agreement Value:
$35,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 31, 2022 - Mar 31, 2022
Description:
The purpose of the Project is to help develop semiochemicals to survey Sirex noctilio in North America using a novel genomic approach. S. noctilio is an invasive pest of pines in South Africa and Canada.
Organization:
Natural Resources Canada
Expected Results:
  1. Database of olfactory proteins in Sirex noctilio. 2. A critical evaluation of the potential to develop genomic driven approaches to the identification of semiochemicals for management of forest insects. This report will inform subsequent efforts in IPM of forest insect pests.
