Regional research project W-189 met in joint session with Regional research project W-187 (Interactions Among Bark Beetles, Pathogens, and Conifers in North American Forests). The meeting was located at the Sagebrush Inn, Taos, New Mexico on October 19, 2002. Steve Seybold opened the meeting at 8:30 AM in the Piqon Room of the Sagebrush Inn Conference Center. Dave Wood (W-187, Division of Insect Biology, Univ. of California, Berkeley) spoke on the origin, goals and accomplishments of Multistate Research Project W-187. Jocelyn Millar (W-189, Department of Entomology, Univ. of California, Riverside) spoke on the origin, goals and accomplishments of Multistate Research Project W-189.
Accomplishments
The long-range goal of this project is to develop new and effective pest management tactics based on the chemistry, biology and biochemistry of insects and plants. Participants represent a wide range of expertise. The many accomplishments of this project are described in detail in the publications listed below. Some of the accomplishments and impacts of general interest (as identified by the participants themselves) are listed below.
Jasmonic acid has been shown to induce systemic insect and nematode resistance in spinach.
A commercial lure for Mexican fruit fly, other species of Anastrepha, and Mediterranean fruit fly, was developed and marketed with IPM Tech, Inc. (Portland, Oregon).
A review of uses of attractants in management of exotic insect pests (Robacker and Landolt, 2002) was prepared as a book chapter.
A 3-year study of host-finding strategies used by the Mexican fruit fly was completed.
Bark beetle pheromone research was brought into the modern era through the use of Genomics technology.
Uncovered several new potential molecular targets for pest control strategies.
An extension document was completed and widely disseminated in 2002: Seybold, S.J., Albers, M.A., and Katovich, S.A. (2002) Eastern larch beetle, USDA Forest Service, Forest Insect Disease Leaflet No. 175, 12 pp. The document is also available in a web-based format at http://www.na.fs.fed.us/spfo
Juvenile hormone is metabolized by a novel kinase which has an unique fold suggesting this enzyme may have potential as a target in insect control.

Impacts
- A commercial lure for Mexican fruit fly, other species of Anastrepha, and Mediterranean fruit fly, was developed and marketed with IPM Tech, Inc. (Portland, Oregon).
- Jasmonic acid has been shown to induce systemic insect and nematode resistance in spinach.
- A pheromone monitoring tool was developed for the eastern larch beetle, Dendroctonus simplex. It is being marketed commercially by Phero Tech, Inc. (Delta, B.C.) and can be applied to detect this beetle in European or Asian ports or in tamarack stands in North America.
