Alina Avanesyan publishes a review for PCR-based diet analysis of insect herbivores!

7/30/2021

 
Alina has now published five articles during her postdoctoral stay in our lab with a review to choose an effective PCR-based approach for diet analysis of insect herbivores. A typical process of detection of DNA of ingested plants involves the choice of a DNA extraction method, a genomic target region, and/or the best approach for an accurate plant species identification. This review provides important information on the availability of successfully used PCR-based approaches to identify ingested plant DNA in insect guts, and suggests potential directions for future studies on plant - insect trophic interactions. The article may be found here.
