Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Gandham Krishnarao's research investigates the molecular and sensory mechanisms underlying insect behavior, with a particular focus on olfaction and oviposition. His work has explored the antennal transcriptomes of various insect species, including the fruit-sucking moth Eudocima materna and the melon fly Zeugodacus cucurbitae, to identify chemosensory genes. Krishnarao has also studied the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, examining its use of sensory modalities to assess oviposition sites and identifying chemosensory genes in its antennae. His research extends to the ecological interactions of insects, including the diversity, abundance, and foraging behavior of insect pollinators in radish crops, and the relationship between onion floral scent emissions and pollinator activity. Additionally, his work has touched on the molecular basis of insect diapause and the role of specific genes in aphid resistance and volatile emissions in sorghum.
