Bruno Henrique Sardinha de Souza

I am Adjunct Professor 3 in Integrated Pest Management with emphasis in Host Plant Resistance in the Department of Entology of ESAL, at Lavras Federal University - UFLA. Biologist graduated at FEIS/UNESP, Campus of Ilha Solteira. I have MSc and PhD degrees in Agronomy (Agricultural Entomology) at FCAV/UNESP, Campus of Jaboticabal. I coursed Sandwich Doctorate (PDSE-CAPES) at Louisiana State University - LSU, in Baton Rouge, LA, USA. I was a Postdoc fellow (FAPESP) in the Department of Plant Protection at FCAV/UNESP. Coordinator of the CNPq research group "Constitutive and induced resistance in plants to insects" and of the Laboratory of Plant Resistance and Integrated Pest Management (LARP-MIP). Currently, I teach the courses "Integrated Pest Management" (GET105) to undergraduate students of Agronomy and "Host Plant Resistance" (PEN510) to graduate students in Entomology of UFLA. I work on the research lines: 1)Host plant resistance; 2)Induced resistance to insects with elicitors; 3)Transgenic plants and pest resistance management; 4)Integrated pest management. I am interested in the following areas: constitutive and induced plant resistance, factors and mechanisms of resistance in landrace genotypes, mutants, breeding lines, and commercial cultivars; resistant cultivars and resistance elicitors in integrated pest management; plant-insect interactions; insect resistance management; integrated pest management strategies. Currently I am the interin chief of the Entomology Department, member of the Collegiate of the Agronomy course, in the Comission of Scientific Initiation, in the Comission of Farms of ESAL, and in the Comittee of Research and Inovation in Coffee Production at UFLA.
