This is the most recent subline of work and its objective is to advance on the knowledge of biochemical and molecular aspects of cuticular lipids and volatile compounds involved in the chemical communication and in the interaction, not only in insects buy in pathogenic fungi of sanitary and agricultural importance. We intend to provide basic information as well as its future application in the improvement of new control tools with low environmental impact.
The studies of the subline in agricultural insects have been focused on coleoptera (Tribolium castaneum, Ulomoides dermestoides and Tenebrio molitor) and lepidoptera (Diatraea saccharalis); and in insects of sanitary importance in hemipteran (Triatoma infestans and other triatominae) and diptera (Anopheles gambiae).
In pathogenic fungi, most of the studies were carried out in the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum. More recently, it has been performed studies with relation to the interaction and control by the Trichoderma spp fungus on the phytopathogenic fungi F. graminearum and Dreschlera teres.
This lines closely collaborates with the other sublines of the laboratory, and also with other groups of work inside and outside the institute.
Chromatography techniques are used in the studies: gas chromatography with flame ionization detection, mass spectrometry and electroantennography. We have recently started to use real-time quantitative PCR technique, gene silencing and expression.
Non-thermal plasma as emerging technology for Tribolium castaneum pest-management in stored grains and flours.
