Entomology (Emeritus Group)

The Emeritus Group of Prof. Dr. David G. Heckel came into existence on 1 March 2021, and is pursing the following topics:

  • Mode of action of insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis in order to combat resistance evolution by pest insects
  • Mechanisms of insect resistance to chemical insecticides, particularly the CYP337B3 gene of Helicoverpa armigera and pyrethroid resistance
  • Genetic basis of the evolution of sex pheromone signalling and receiving pathways in Lepidoptera, especially in Heliothis and Ostrinia
  • Genetics of host strain differentiation in the invasive fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda
