Induced defenses in apple fruits: linking fruit chemistry, quality, and plant-insect-microbe interactions
… a diverse array of phytochemicals in response to interactions with herbivores, pathogens, and commensal microbes. These phytochemicals may simultaneously enhance crop defense and quality, representing a potential pest management strategy. However, plant chemical responses to different types and …

Investigating post-harvest insect-microbe interactions and their ramifications for global food quality, human health, and insect behavior
Microbes are ubiquitous and play important ecological roles. While research has largely focused on arthropods and microbes separately, less attention has been given to their interactions in the post-harvest supply chain. As a result, my aims focused on S. oryzae and L. serricorne and were to 1) …

Understanding the impact of Russian wheat aphid-associated microbes on plants
Plant-insect-microbe interactions shape the outcome of plant defense responses, yet the role of aphid-associated bacteria in modulating host susceptibility remains largely unexplored. This dissertation investigates the influence of bacterial communities associated with the Russian wheat aphid (RWA, …
