EVALUATION OF CONVENTIONALLY BRED COLORED CORN VARIETIES AS A VIABLE SOURCE OF PHYTOCHEMICALS WITH DIVERSE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

Objective

Our overall goals of this project are to:1) How does sublethal exposure to imidacloprid influence multigenerational (F2) and transgenerational (F3) patterns of DNA methylation?2) How does sublethal exposure to imidacloprid influence multigenerational (F2) and transgenerational (F3) transcription patterns?3) How does sublethal exposure to imidacloprid influence insecticide resistance and larval performance in the F2 and F3 generations?4) How is variation in DNA methylation correlated with gene expression and genomic variation?
