This book examines molecular biology applications in entomological research. The volume covers essential techniques for DNA and RNA analysis in insects, genetic improvement of natural enemies, and identification of genes relevant to entomology. Chapters address transgenic plant development for pest resistance, insect gene transformation methods, and DNA fingerprinting for taxonomic and phylogenetic studies and also includes:
- Comprehensive coverage of molecular biology techniques applied to entomological research
- Detailed analysis of DNA and RNA methodologies specific to insect studies
- Practical guidance on genetic improvement strategies for natural enemies
- Current approaches to transgenic plant development for pest resistance
- Advanced insect gene transformation protocols and applications
The book concludes with diagnostic techniques and transgenic technology applications. Suitable for researchers and graduate students, this resource provides practical methodologies and theoretical foundations for molecular approaches to insect biology and pest management.
This title has been co-published with Elite Publishing House. T&F does not sell or distribute the print versions in India.
“The book is a significant scholarly work that explores the intricate world of insects from a molecular perspective. The subject matter is presented in a clear, well-organized manner, making complex scientific concepts accessible while maintaining academic depth. The content provides a comprehensive overview of modern entomological research, focusing on genetics, physiology, molecular signaling, and their applications in pest management and crop protection. The continuity between topics ensures that the book can serve not only as a reference text but also as a teaching resource. The treatment is current and technically sound, reflecting the rapid advances in molecular biology and their integration into entomology.
The collaborative effort of the authors deserves appreciation for producing a resource that will enrich academic study and support applied research in the rapidly expanding field of molecular entomology.”
