Research Experience

I have gained thorough understanding and experience in independently designing developing

and conducting scientific experiments from concept development proposal writing and

experimental design to observation and data collection analysis interpretation of results and

eventual publication and presentation I have spent significant time (gt10 years) executing

entomological research projects as a team leader collaborator or assistant and have authored or

co-authored about 100 publications and presentations based upon results obtained

Insect species studied Phytophagous Hemipterans (Lygus hesperus [western tarnished plant

bug] and Pseudomatoscelis seriatus [cotton fleahopper]) Homoptera (rice green leaf hopper

and plant hopper) Lepidoptera (cotton bollworm beet armyworm tobacco budworm)

Thysanoptera (western flower thrips) Coleoptera (Western Corn Rootworm [Diabrotica

virgifera] predacious ground beetles convergent lady beetles) numerous other insect pest

and predator species found in corn cotton and alfalfa during survey activities Studies

included community structure and species diversity

Summary of Research Accomplishments and Work History

Project1 Rice virus disease and its green leaf hopper vector (1992-1994)

I conducted an extensive survey of rice tungro virus disease and its leaf hopper vectors in Nepal I

screened the 15 rice cultivars for of tungro virus susceptibility and also identified 12 alternate

weed hosts of tungro virus Biological and molecular characterization of the Nepalese strain of

tungro virus was performed in laboratory and green house We developed the restriction map of

DNA from RTBV In addition we developed the bibliographic database of tree and plant

pathogen in Nepal and I published a comprehensive review of literature on plant pathology and

rice plant and leaf hopper vectors

Project2 Evaluation of Bt-transgenic technology in elevated CO2 and different crop

management conditions (2002-2004)

I investigated how Bt-cotton can influence on the population of non-target insect pest species such

as thrips cotton fleahopper cotton aphid and Lygus bug I was first to characterize the season-

long population dynamics of thrips and cotton fleahopper in Bt and non Bt cotton in both

conventional and conservation tillage system in Texas high Plains In collaboration with Chinese

Academy of Science we also evaluated the effect of elevated CO2 on cotton plant physisology

and boll worm biology We discovered that elevated CO2 lowers the level of Bt-toxin production

in Bt-transgenic cotton plant and it also reduces the body mass fecundity and growth rate of

cotton bollworm In collaboration with Monsanto we evaluated bollgard technology for cotton

bollworm management and from 2010 I am also involved in evaluation of transgenic cotton for

Lygus management

Project3 Insect community ecology (20022009)

In 2002 I characterized the seasonal dynamics of ground beetle species diversity in Texas High

Plains cotton field and discovered that the Texas High Plains agro-ecosystem had very low

ground beetle diversity I demonstrated that predacious ground beetle diversity can be increased

significantly by adoption of conservation tillage system We also characterized the insect

community structure in furrow irrigated cotton field adjacent to alfalfa in 2009

Project4 Role of predators in biological control of bollworm egg and cotton aphids (2003-

2004)

I was the first researcher to characterize the functional response (density dependent predation)

behavior of eight predator species feeding on bollworm eggs in a single comprehensive laboratory

experiment I also quantified the cotton aphid suppression potential of convergent lady beetle both

in field and laboratory settings I demonstrated that convergent lady beetles have potential to

suppress larger populations of cotton aphids and cotton bollworms I also determined the species

composition of arthropod predator community in a cotton field in the Texas High Plains

Project5 Cotton insect sampling plan and predictive mechanistic model development

(2002-2004)

RB Shrestha Page 32

January 26 2014

32

I developed fixed precision sequential sampling plan for thrips and cotton fleahopper population

determination in cotton using visual sampling I evaluated various sampling techniques for thrips

and cotton fleahopper to determine the most efficient sampling technique in cotton We also

developed the mechanistic model for predicting cotton aphid population dynamics which

effectively determines five response variables including birth rate death rate cumulative density

population peak count and time of peak count I determined that irrigation water levels can

significantly affect cotton aphid population dynamics in low precipitation (lt25 cm) years

Project6 Insect marking and movement behavior study and landscape level factors

predisposing Lygus outbreak (2005-2010)

I conducted extensive survey of weed host of Lygus in Texas High Plains and identified 23

reproductively suitable weed hosts of Lygus I also determined the Lygus species composition in

different hosts I optimized the methods for protein marking of natural Lygus population in cotton

and alfalfa field I characterized the seasonal dynamics of intercrop movement behavior of Lygus

in cotton and alfalfa cropping system in Texas using field marking and ELISA techniques I also

conducted the landscape level study of Lygus ecology and developed a predictive model to

describe Lygus abundance in cotton field using the surrounding landscape characteristics affecting

Lygus populations in cotton

Project7 Insect plant interactions (crop compensation boll maturity threshold study etc)

(2007-2011)

We have developed the insect-plant interaction based IPM rules for initiation and termination of

pesticide intervention for Lygus in Texas High Plain cotton I demonstrated that cotton plant can

easily compensates about 37 square loss due to early season Lygus infestation in high input

farming system (drip irrigation) in the Texas High Plains environment thus the early pesticide

application is not justified if fruit loss is below 37 We also characterized the cotton plantrsquos lint

yield compensation capacity for different cotton cultivars different phenological stages and

different irrigation water levels I determined the cotton boll damage potential of Lygus adults and

nymphs at various levels of cotton boll maturity I determined that once cotton boll reaches 350

cumulative heat unit or 25 mm in boll diameter they are considered safe from internal boll

damage by Lygus Because there will be no yield loss when Lygus bugs are unable to penetrate

the internal carpel wall pesticide application against Lygus is not justified beyond 350 heat unit

or when bolls attain 25 mm diameter in size

Project8 Molecular ecology marker development and population genetics of Lygus (2008-

2009)

I was the first person to develop microsatellite enriched genomic DNA library of Lygus hesperus

After sequencing the DNA library I discovered and characterized polymorphic microsatellite

markers Using those microsatellite markers I have determined the genetic diversity and

population genetic structure of Lygus hesperus from the Texas High Plains I have also optimized

the methodology for the genomic DNA extraction from gt5 years old dry preserved Lygus

hesperus samples

Project9 Lygus ontogenic morphometry (2010)

I was the first scientist to conduct the detailed ontogenic morphometry of Lygus hesperus I

demonstrated that ontogenic morphometry of live Lygus hesperus is possible without killing the

RB Shrestha Page 33

January 26 2014

33

organism for its measurement I have developed the ontogenic growth model for male and female

Lygus hesperus that allowed us to predict both shape and size of this species at any particular age

I have demonstrated that landmark based morphometric technique is the most appropriate

morphometric approach in quantifying the growth and development of Lygus species I have also

discovered that multivariate analysis of four inter landmark distances can clearly distinguish 5

different nymphal stages of Lygus hesperus with high accuracy In addition I presented detailed

ultrastructure morphology of Lygus hesperus using scanning electron microscopy

Project10 Ecologically intensive integrated pest management (Evaluation of tillage

planting date skip row planting pattern irrigation cultivar and soil nitrogen (2000-2012)

I have developed cultural management strategies for different cotton pests I evaluated the

possibility of insect pest population suppression by various cultural practices like conservation

tillage different cotton cultivars changing cotton planting date change in amount of irrigation

changing method of irrigation method changing cotton planting pattern and plant density and

various level of nitrogen application We conducted series of field experiments over many years

to evaluate the possibility of population suppression of thrips cotton fleahopper cotton aphid

Lygus and bollworm using aforementioned cultural practices

Project11 Characterization of field evolved Bt-resistance in Western Corn Rootworm

(Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) and IRM

httpwwwentiastateedudeptfacultygassmannpeopleram-shrestha

My current research projects are focused on characterization of field evolved Bt-resistance in

Western Corn Rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) I am involved in monitoring and

quantifying evolution of Bt-resistance and cross resistance in WCR field populations from various

locations in Iowa for four Bt proteins (Cry3Bb mCry3A eCry31A and Cry3435Ab) We use

single plant bioassay seedling mat bioassay diet bioassay and field experiments to determine the

Bt-resistance I evaluated performance of commercially available corn hybrids with single gene

or stacked gene Bt-traits in controlling WCR in corn field We are developing dynamic economic

threshold for WCR management in Iowa I am also involved in investigation of inheritance

stability and fitness cost of the Bt- resistance of WCR in laboratory We are conducting QTL

analysis of Bt-resistance using SNP markers and planned to develop molecular marker for Bt-

resistant trait

I have a decade of research experience and interest in insect ecology and biology More

specifically insect-plant interaction intercrop movement integrated pest management insect

morphometry landscape management population genetics genetic diversity study molecular

marker development Bt-resistance management and sampling plan development for various pest

species
