"The process of getting insect resistance into a plant is the same,
no matter what insect you are trying to fight. The breeder and the entomologist gain from looking
at the interaction between the plant and more than one insect. So the expertise we are developing
here will cross over to other areas and has definite benefits for Michigan potato growers."
- David Douches, MSU potato breeder and genetic scientist (From Futures Magazine, Winter 2007, Vol.24, No.4)
