Felicia C. Wolters defended her master dissertation (Master of Science, Major Phytopathology and Entomology) on the topic "Evolution of the Hydroxygeranyllinalool Diterpene Glycoside Pathway in Solanaceae". This work was jointly supervised by Iris Kappers (Plant physiology, WUR), Marnix Medema (Bioinformatic group, WUR) and me. Congratulations to Felicia on her successful defense and good luck for future scientific adventures.
This project (Nov 2014 - Mar 2021) was mainly driven by key questions in resistance evolution of insect-pests to natural and synthetic insecticides. I used genome-wide investigations and computational approaches to answer such questions, ensuring these are relevant to a broad scientific community.
