This Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) provides $552,890 under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA 10.310) to The Ohio State University from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026. The grant aims to advance climate-resilient, integrated resistance management programs for host plant resistant crops through a combined experimental and mathematical modeling approach quantifying how water stress alters virulent and avirulent soybean aphid population dynamics. Specifically, the university will compare the effects of host plant water stress on virulent and avirulent aphid fitness and interactions with a parasitoid wasp, track changes in relative frequencies of virulent and avirulent aphids under stress scenarios using laboratory microcosms and quantitative modeling, and develop models to simulate changes in aphid populations over a growing season in response to biotic and abiotic variables. A subaward of $152,000 is provided to Iowa State University to develop mathematical models predicting how climate change may alter selection for virulence within aphid populations based on experimental data collected at The Ohio State University.
