Antifeedant effects of the limonoids from Entandropharagma candolei (Meliaceae) on the gram pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
CSIRO cotton research scientists Danny Llewellyn, Greg Constable and Gary Fitt were jointly awarded for their pioneering team effort to develop Australian cotton plant varieties that are resistant to the devastating impact of the moth Helicoverpa armigera.
He and Carl Gordon led a group at CSIRO, an Australian national research facility, that altered plant cells grown in the laboratory so the cells could produce the protein coating of the Helicoverpa armigera stunt virus (HaSV) and the two strands of RNA that contain its three genes, then assemble these components into whole viruses.
