Helicoverpa armigera - why it is difficult to manage?
The insecticides developed so far by various companies has failed to manage the population of Helicoverpa armigera on global bases. The transgenic crops developed against them also showing failure in different parts of world. Unlocking of genome of H. armigera is carrying out by CSIRO Entomology. How the molecular techniques helps to find a solution to Helicoverpa menace.

Dear All,
Please forward this invite to your members.
You are all warmly invited to attend this year's Arthropod Genomics (i5k) session in the Biodiversity Genomics meeting, being held in a virtual format from wherever you are! We are inviting talk and virtual poster submissions for all types of insect genomics projects. From 5-9 October, we will have thematic sessions on genomics grouped around “Regional, National and International Projects”, “Taxon-focussed Projects”, “Systems Approaches” and “Technology Advances”. Each will have a dedicated or shared workshop session, and a dedicated poster session and meeting room. The final program will be posted on the website soon.
Registration is for access to the meeting; there is no fee.
Full details and the registration link are available at:

Key Dates and Deadlines
Meeting registration open: NOW
Poster and talk abstract submission open: NOW
Talk abstract submission close: 1 September 2020
Notification of speaker choices: 10 September 2020

Technical
Each day of the meeting will have a similar flow. We will open an hour in advance (15:00 GMT) with poster and social rooms. We will also organise discussion fora with panels discussing Diversity and Inclusion, Earth Biogenome project in Lower and Middle income Nations, Early Careers issues and Funding. The days’ formal activities will start at 16:00 GMT with a 1 hr plenary session, broadcast to all. This will be followed by two sets of 1 hr themed workshop sessions. The meeting will finish each day with a social and poster session from 19:00 to 20:00 GMT. More information about the web-based tools to use for discussions and video conferencing will be posted on the website soon.
We already have many registered participants and hope to see you there for lively discussions on the latest advances in arthropod genomics!
Best wishes,

Dear all,
You are warmly invited to attend this year's Arthropod Genomics Symposium, being held in a virtual format from wherever you are! Over Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (21-23 July), we will have seven thematic sessions on genomics including current initiatives around the globe, chromosomes, ecology and evolution, and agricultural and vector genomics. Workshops are also planned for that Friday (24th July), on the new VectorBase and manual gene annotation in Apollo: please indicate potential interest when you register. Registration is for access to the meeting; there is no fee.
Full details and the registration link are available at:
http://i5k.github.io/ags2020
Overview
The symposium focuses on new insights gleaned from analysing arthropod genomes and is designed for scientists interested in genomic studies of arthropods, including model organisms, those of importance to agriculture or health, and those of ecological or evolutionary interest. The programme will include presentations from speakers covering several major themes with opportunities for online discussions and interactions amongst all participants. AGS has a history of welcoming postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate students, who are again particularly encouraged to join.
Key Dates and Deadlines
Friday, July 17 - Registration Deadline
Monday, July 20 - Technical tests for speakers
Tuesday, July 21 - Arthropod Genomics and Chromosome Genomics Sessions
Wednesday, July 22 - China Session and Eco-Evo Genomics I & II Sessions
Thursday, July 23 - Vector Genomics and Agricultural Genomics Sessions
Friday, July 24 - Workshops (TBA)
Technical
A virtual meeting requires a few changes to normal conference organisation: participation will be managed through the AGS Slack Workspace and webinars will be broadcast on Zoom. User Guides describing different aspects of how the meeting will be run will be provided. Until then, simply make sure your Slack and Zoom installations are up-to-date, or sign up for and install them (see Slack and Zoom websites for details -- links provide on the AGS meeting page).
The online format of this meeting also means that all participants may present a 'V-Poster' describing their research project(s). There will be no formal selection process for V-Posters, and due to participants joining from different time zones there will be no dedicated V-Poster sessions. V-Posters act as a graphical advertisement for your project to encourage other attendees to meet with you (online) and discuss further.
We already have over 150 registered participants and hope to see you there for lively discussions on the latest advances in arthropod genomics!
Best wishes,
Surya Saha
