The first part has 4 chapters, introducing relevant content in insect molecular biology and biotechnology, including research progress on insect transposons and genomes, plant defense and insect counter-defense during coevolution, and research and application progress in the molecular biology of insect polydnaviruses and bracoviruses. The second part has 5 chapters, mainly covering the hormonal control of postembryonic development in insects, hormonal regulation and signal transduction in insect growth and development, geographical and seasonal variation in insect cold resistance, research progress on long-distance migration and short-distance dispersal of insects, and the study of insect wing polymorphism. The third part has 4 chapters, including content on insect toxicology and pest pesticide resistance management, such as the development history and prospects of insect toxicology, and the study of interaction models between pests and transgenic insect-resistant crops.
