昆虫与植物关系的研究进展和前景

本文综述昆虫与植物之间关系的研究概况，包括历史渊源、昆虫选择寄主植物的生理机制，植物对虫害的反应、用抗虫基因在作物中移植以防治害虫和展望。着重叙述昆虫神经中枢对于植物理化特性所产生的感觉内导的综合作用，植物蒙受虫害后的补偿作用及由此诱导所产生的化学防御作用。讨论了以抗虫基因移植于农林作物来防治害虫是否会引起昆虫对这种新育成的植物产生适应或抗性。昆虫与植物之间的关系是一个重要的科研领域，对其发展前景

STUDIES ON INSECT-PLANT RELATIONSHIPS: RECENT TRENDS AND PROSPECT

This review concerns researches on insect-plant relationships and the presentation is divided into the following headings: the historical background, physiological mechanism of host-plant selection by insects, responses of plants to herbivory, novel approach to control insects by using transgenic crops and prospect. Emphasis is laid on the integration of sensory informations in the central nerve system of insects, plant compensation for insect damage, and induction of chemical defence in plants by herbivory. Whether insect could develop resistance toward genetically engineered crops is discussed. Further developments in this research field are predicted.
