Abstract:In the present paper, we defined some conceptions firstly. The diapause phases consisted of three successive phases: (1) pre-diapause (diapause induction and preparation); (2) diapause (initiation, maintenance and termination); and (3) post-diapause. Then important advances in recent research of diapause at the molecular and cellular level were introduced and some scientific problems were discussed
