Explanation:
his award was established by the family and friends of Dr. Reginald H. Painter (1901-1968). Dr. Painter came to this department in 1926, after receiving his Ph.D. from Ohio State University. He later received an honorary L.L.D. from the University of Arkansas. Painter was in charge of the entomological aspects of cooperative projects with plant breeders in the Departments of Agronomy and Horticulture and the USDA, to develop plants with resistance to insects. When begun in 1926, this was the first experiment station project in this field. He also developed the world's first course on host plant resistance to insects, and wrote the first book on the subject, "Insect Resistance in Crop Plants", published in 1951. Among the areas studied, generally with graduate students, were various aspects of resistance to Hessian fly; corn rootworms on corn; corn leaf aphid on sorghums; greenbugs on alfalfa; spotted alfalfa aphid, pea aphid, lygus bug, and potato leafhopper on alfalfa; squash bug on squash; cucumber beetle on cucurbits; fall armyworm on corn; and chinch bug on sorghum. He presented the first evidence of the presence of biological strains in Hessian fly and the corn leaf aphid. As a result, their characteristics are probably better known than those of any other insect biotypes. Early in his career, he described and named 10 new species of Apioceridae, which then constituted more than half of the known North American species and more than a third of the species in the world. For many years, he studied Bombyliidae, in collaboration with his wife, Elizabeth. They collected in Central America and extensively in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. He described and named five new genera or subgenera and 96 new species or subspecies. Painter died unexpectedly in 1968, while on sabbatical leave as a special staff member of the Rockefeller Foundation assigned to the International Center for the Improvement of Maize and Wheat, in Mexico City. The kindness and generosity of Dr. Painter and his family in supporting the growth of our students is greatly appreciated!
The Reginald H. Painter Memorial Scholarship Ph.D. Award in Entomology is open to new (within the first three semesters) Ph.D. graduate students with exceptional accomplishments enrolled in the KSU Department of Entomology. This award is intended for students in the first three semesters of their programs. The application materials will consist of:
A cover letter that addresses the student's specific qualifications for the award and includes the student's contact information
A letter of support from the major advisor or another faculty member; the letter must be submitted by the faculty member directly to the Awards Committee
Two-page CV, with emphasis on accomplishments in the first three semesters
Graduate school transcripts and grades (unofficial transcripts are acceptable)
1-2 page statement of student's proposed research, and any other evidence of scholarship potential in entomology
major contribution of RH painter father of host pest resistance was developing wheat resistance caltiver against pests
Explanation:
- Kalyan Sona is pest resistance crop of wheat. with the improvement of biotechnology the year has been improvement in the growth of the crops .
- this is because their has been a large number of crops genetically modified over the past few decades.
- in addition to this many of the crops are genetically modified so as to make them resistant to pest and other insects, as a result of this the growth of these crops have increased recently
to know more about genetically modified crops,
how the genetically modified crops made? Explain the significance ...
