Advanced Technologies for Managing Insect Pests By: Isaac Ishaaya Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9789400744967, 940074496X eText ISBN: 9789400744974, 9400744978 Copyright year: 2013 Format: EPUB Available from $ 189.00 USD SKU 9789400744974 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.
