中文摘要: 飞蝗的型变是重要的科学问题,也是防治害虫的理论基础。近年来,我国昆虫学家围绕飞蝗型变的分子机制方面取得一系列开创性的工作进展,鉴定了多个飞蝗型变的关键基因及其生物学功能,提出了飞蝗型变的分子机制。这些研究成果在PNAS, PLoS Genetics, Genome Biology, Bioinformatics, Insect Molecular Biology, Journal of Insect Physiology, PLoS One等国际著名刊物发表,极大地提高了我国在该领域的研究水平, 为今后彻底解决飞蝗型变这一科学难题奠定了基础。
英文摘要: The phase transition in the migratory locust is an important scientific problem and a theoretic basis for pest control. Kang Le group from Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences focus on the molecular mechanism of phase transition in the migratory locust, and a great progress has been made in the field. A number of key genes and their functions for regulation of phase transition have been identified in the migratory locust, suggesting a possible molecular mechanism on the phase transition between gregaria and solitaria. These results have been published in famous international journals, such as PNAS, PLoS Genetics, Genome Biology, Bioinformatics, Insect Molecular Biology, Journal of Insect Physiology, PLoS One, and will improve greatly the insight on the molecular mechanism of phase transition.
