trueDiscovery Science,Grant,Plant Sciences11/12/2024Uncovering plant resistance through aphids salivaWith the help of USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative grant, MSU researcher Hillary Fischer will be able to uncover how small molecules in aphids’ saliva affect plant metabolism, uncovering a large suite of new research topics in plant-aphid interactions.
  • Research associate Hillary Fischer received $225,000 grant from USDA for her research in aphid saliva.
  • Her work will help scientists further understand how plant-aphid interaction impacts plant metabolism, which has major potential applications in the field of plant health.
