Abstract：
Rice
planthoppers, including the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens), white-backed planthopper (Sogatella furcifera) and
small brown planthopper (Laodelphax
striatellus), are major pests of rice. Since the beginning of the 21st
century, China has achieved many key breakthroughs in rice planthopper
research, contributing significantly to the control of these pests and
sustainable rice production. This paper reviews progress in rice planthopper
research in China, focusing on areas such as pest occurrence and early warning
monitoring, biology and molecular biology, host-pest interactions, and control
strategies.
