Abstract:

The research articles from the field of insect physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology in the last three years published on international journals by Chinese scientists are introduced and commented in this review paper. A great progress has been made in China in the field, especially sequencing for genome and expressed sequence tags, molecular marker for genome and correlative researches in utilizing genomic sequence information. But a great gap still exists between domestic and international levels, such as cloning of novel or important genes and identifying their functions. We expect more pretty research present in the coming years.

Key words: Insect, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, progress, comment, China
