Among the highlights of this book is the use of novel insecticides
acting on a specific site in an insect group and are compatible
with natural enemies and the environment. One of such approaches is
based on disrupting the activity of biochemical sites acting on
transcription factors such as the Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) family,
anti juvenile hormone (AJH) agents that target JH biosynthetic
enzymes, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) and bursicon as a
target for insect control. Another one is the biotechnology or the
genetic approach such as gene silencing (RNA interference) and
Bt-crops. Other sections of the book are devoted to the plant's
natural products, optical manipulation and the use of
nanotechnology for improving insect control methods.
