One of the most swiftly moving areas in entomological and comparative research is molecular biology, and this volume, \u003ci\u003eInsect Molecular Biology and Biochemistry,\u003c\/i\u003e is designed for those who desire a comprehensive yet concise work on important aspects of this topic. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume contains ten fully revised or rewritten chapters from the original series as well as five completely new chapters on topics such as insect immunology, insect genomics, RNAi, and molecular biology of circadian rhythms and circadian behavior. The topics included are key to an understanding of insect development, with emphasis on the cuticle, digestive properties, and the transport of lipids; extensive and integrated chapters on cytochrome P450s; and the role of transposable elements in the developmental processes as well as programmed cell death. This volume will be of great value to senior investigators, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and advanced undergraduate research students. It can also be used as a reference for graduate courses and seminars on the topic. Chapters will also be valuable to the applied biologist or entomologist, providing the requisite understanding necessary for probing the more applied research areas related to insect control. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eINSECT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEdited by LAWRENCE I.
