The next IRM e-meeting will be given by Dr. Ben Hopkins:

“The dynamic evolution of the Sex Peptide gene family: insights from the genomes of 130 species”
– August 31st at 13:30 EDT (17:00 UK time)

INSECT REPRODUCTIVE MOLECULES AND THEIR MECHANISMS:
BRINGING NEW TOOLS AND IDEAS FOR AGRICULTURE

This workshop aims to bring together scientists who study molecules and physiological processes that mediate insect reproduction, from both basic and applied perspectives. An important and unique aspect of the workshop is that it will bring together experts on male reproductive tracts (focused on identity, functions, regulation and evolution of seminal proteins that are transferred with sperm to females during mating), with experts on female reproductive tracts (focused on its physiology and on the identity, function, and evolution of its molecules).

Organizing committee:
Yael Heifetz, The Hebrew University and Mariana Wolfner, Cornell University.
