Description Conventional breeding in conjunction with molecular techniques and transgenic approaches have a great promise
to reduce pest associated crop losses, and accelerate the progress in developing cultivars with resistance to
insects. Although, considerable progress has been made over the past two decades in manipulating genes from
diverse sources to develop plants with resistance to insect pests, deployment of molecular techniques for insect
resistance, understand nature of gene action and metabolic pathways, but rapid and cost effective development
and adoption of biotechnology-derived products will depend on developing a full understanding on the interaction
of genes within their genomic environment, and with the environment in which their conferred phenotype interact.
A good beginning has been made in developing genetic linkage maps of many crops, but the accuracy and precision
of phenotyping for resistance to insect pests remains a critical constraint in many crops. Improved phenotyping
systems will have substantial impact on both conventional and biotechnological approaches to breed for resistance
to insect pests, in addition to the more strategic research that feeds into these endeavors.
