Research interests
- My Research Program Has Focused On Isolation Of More Toxic Indigenous B. Thuringiensis Isolates From Egyptian Soils
- Diseased Insects. Moreover
- Evaluation Of The Potential Activity Of These Isolates Against Some Economically Important Lepidopterous Cotton Insect Pests Namely
- The Cotton Leafworm Spodoptera Littoralis (Biosduval)
- The American Bollworm Helicoverpa (=Heliothis) Armigera (Hardwick)
- The Pink Bollworm Pectinophora Gossypiella (Saunders)
- The Greasy Cutworm Agrotis Ypsilon (Rottenberg) Causing Great Damage. The Mode Of Action Of Some Of These Isolates Has To Be Investigated Based On Studies Of The Histopathological Effects Of B. Thuringiensis On S. Littoralis
- P. Gossypiella Midguts Using Scan Electron Microscope (Sem)
- Transmission Electron Microscope (Tem). Also
- My Research Program Utilizes Molecular Biology Tools To Study Molecular Characterization Of The B. Thuringiensis Isolates
- Show The Genetic Variability Among Different Isolates
- Its Correlation With Their Potency Against The Target Lepidopterous Insects
- To Explore The Possible Development Of More Effective Formulations Of B. Thuringiensis For Field Application. Moreover
- Establishment Of Efficient Regeneration System For Tomato Cultivar As Pre-Requisites For The Development Of Transgenic Plants Was Performed. The Transgenic Tomato Plant Harboring Cry 2Ab Gene In Its Genetic Makeup Was Made Using Gene Transfer Protocol. The Bt-Tomato Plants Have Autoresistance Against The Lepidopterous Insects Namely
- H. Armigera
- S. Littoralis
- P. Operculella. Especially
- The Expression Of Δ-Endotoxins In Transgenic Plants Has Provided A Very Effective Means To Control Economically Important Insect Pests
Biography
Nesreen Abd El Ghany is affiliated with the National Research Center, Cairo, Giza, Egypt, where her research focuses on integrated pest management strategies, including the application of biopesticides, microbial agents, and remote sensing technologies for insect pest and disease control. She serves on the editorial boards of several international journals, including Research In Agriculture, American Journal of BioScience, and The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. Her work encompasses the evaluation of eco-friendly control methods against economically important pests such as Tuta absoluta, Bemisia tabaci, and stored product insects, as well as investigations into insect morphology and genetic technologies. Her most-cited publication, "A review: application of remote sensing as a promising strategy for insect pests and diseases management" (2020), has received 153 citations, reflecting the impact of her contributions to sustainable agricultural pest management.
