Insect Molecular Genetics: An Introduction to Principles and
Applications, Fourth Edition provides the most recent advances and
research in entomology and molecular genetics. It demonstrates the
role molecular genetics plays in pest management and basic insect
biology research, assuming readers have little to no prior
knowledge on the subject. This newest edition features updates on
the latest trends and discoveries, such as CRISPR-Cas genome
editing methods, epigenetic inheritance, DNA amplification
techniques, and molecular phylogenies. Certain chapter topics,
including P-element mediated transformation and insect population
molecular techniques, are condensed and updated to create a more
comprehensive and concise read. This foundational text is a
valuable resource for entomologists with limited training in
molecular genetics, and will be an ideal source for pest control
advisors who need to understand the vocabulary and methods that are
used to solve entomological issues. Contains a new chapter on
CRISPR-CAS and the basic biology of these systems related to
arthropods Includes new and updated methods and examples of insect
gene modification, along with discussions of regulatory and ethical
issues Offers compiled and comprehensive terminology at the
introductory level Illustrated with diagrams and tables to further
explain key topics and concepts
Crop Protection, Volume 55, the latest release in the Advances in
Insect Physiology series, highlights new advances in the field,
with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on RNAi Plus,
where microbes enhance RNAi: Mechanism and Applications, Symbionts
in whiteflies, miRNAs from the microbiome as drivers in the insect,
a critical view on insect microbiome data analysis and
interpretation, Insect-microbe interactions and transmission as
shaped by future climate changes, Intestinal bacteria of the German
cockroach and its interaction with entomopathogenic fungus, and
Beyond Baculovirus: Alternative biotechnological platforms and pest
control based on insect viruses.
