Consultants Meeting to Review Opportunities and Requirements for Implementing a CRP on Assessing the Potential for Improved Strains of Insect Pest for SIT, 18-22 August 2008, Antigua, Guatemala

摘要

A consultants meeting was held in Antigua, Guatemala (18-22 August 2008) in conjunction with the final RCM of a CRP entitled Molecular Technologies to Improve the Effectiveness of SIT (see summary on page 15). This strategy was specifically chosen in order for the consultants to assess if sufficient progress had been made in developing these molecular technologies to the extent that they could be of direct use in the development of improved strains for SIT. In addition it gave them the op-' portunity to assess the limitations of the molecular approach as compared to the classical genetic approach.
