In the last year, a young Makerere University lecturer Cyprian Osinde spent two months at IPSR working on investigations of rice and Sorghum volatiles. These compounds are very important for defense of plants against insects because they attract natural enemies of plant herbivores. These natural enemies then work as “bodyguards” of plants. Inspired by his work in Japan last year, Cyprian is now working on a full PhD proposal after his successful pre-admission to doctor’s course at his home Makerere University. His PhD will be co-supervised by Prof. Ivan Galis from IPSR (Group of Plant-Insect Interactions) and local Makerere professors. In practice, advanced molecular work and field experiments on Sorghum […]http://www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp/HP2012/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/20160727.jpg
