<p class=Default><font size=2 color=black face=Calibri><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'>For four decades, the Department of Entomology at The Ohio State
University led research in honey bee genetics. At the forefront of these efforts
was Dr. Walter Rothenbuhler, the preeminent honey bee geneticist in the country
who made significant contributions to our understanding of honey bee biology
and their importance to modern agriculture. Currently, 30% of <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Ohio</st1:place></st1:State> crops depend on bees and other insects
for pollination. The Department of Entomology at The Ohio State University
wishes to reclaim the Rothenbuhler legacy and regain our ability to perform
world-class research on pollinators. With the sequencing of the honey bee
genome, we believe that molecular biology will make important contributions to
understanding honey bee physiology and ecology, including their interactions
with the pesticides, pathogens, and arthropod pests that impact the health of
hives. Current methods in physiology, proteomics, metabolomics and structural
and functional genomics—including recent second-generation sequencing
technologies—hold great promise for significant advances in biology and ecology
of the insects that provide critical pollination services to support agricultural
production. This position is central to addressing these vital issues and to
fulfill the OARDC’s mission to enhance the well-being of the people of <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ohio</st1:place></st1:State>, the nation and
world through research on food, agriculture, family and environment. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
