Visitorsheadline bar **Summer 2009** David Lee, Wheaton CollegeORIP InternDavid worked to sequence the resistance-breaking isolates of RYMV and compare their sequences to those of other isolates. He also worked to sequence MDMV-It and compare its sequence with those of non-resistance-breaking isolates from Ohio. Eventually, the results of these projects will lead to greater understanding of how changes in the genomes of these viruses allow them to break through established resistances.  Aimee Thompson, Hiram CollegeORIP InternAimee worked with graduate student Valdir Correa to characterize Stolbur phytoplasma genetic variability and phytoplasma-host interactions.  She also worked on a method to co-culture phytoplasmas in vitro using Drosophila S2 cells.  Geoff Harper, Case Western UniversityORIP InternGeoff worked with the soybean aphid(Aphis glycines) and transmission of three soybean viruses. **Summer 2008** Cameron R. T. Exnor, Carnegie MellonORIP InternCameron worked on the characterization of the mechanism of persistence of Pantoea stewartii in its insect vector. **October 2007**Kevin Pixley Associate Director of CIMMYT Kevin came to work with Agronomist Mark Jones to learn how to use SSR Markers to identify maize virus resistance loci.  Anna Nikolic Norman Borlaug Scholar Anna also came to work with Agronomist Mark Jones to learn how to use SSR Markers to identify maize virus resistance loci.
