A student of Life Science department of Bharathidasan University Sushmitha Krishnan has been granted the UNESCO TAGe (Talking Across Generations on Education) Fellowship in recognition of her effective participation in a global dialogue with senior decision-makers organised by Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Education & Peace (MGIEP).
A student of integrated programme at the university, Sushmitha Krishnan, who was among the six youths chosen from across the globe to take part in the TAGe dialogue held between August 28 and September 1 last year had voiced her concern over the education system revolving around the theme ‘reimagining education.’
The project is titled “An integrative approach to determining fall armyworm population genomics and dispersal.”
Answering unknowns about fall armyworms
The research sprung from studies by Texas A&M University graduate student Ashley Tessnow, who will work on the new project as a postdoctoral researcher. Her doctoral research tracked the genetics of fall armyworm populations as they moved south to north through Texas into a location in Minnesota.
Tessnow studied two distinct strains of fall armyworms as they migrated northward annually during their preferred crops’ growing seasons. These strains of fall armyworms are the same species and morphologically identical, but they prefer different crops. The new research will look at the C-strain, named for its prevalence in corn fields, and the R-strain, named for its identification in rice fields but also known for consuming small grasses like Bermuda.
