蚕丝生产在我国有悠久历史,特别是无产阶级文化大革命以来,在毛主席革命路线指引下,贯彻“以粮为纲,全面发展”的方针,蚕丝生产有了很大发展,同时对桑蚕科学技术的研究,也提出了更高的要求。昆虫保幼激素类似物在蚕业上应用的研究,就是探讨增产蚕丝的新途径。昆虫激素的研究,自1967年查明了大柏天蚕(Platysamia cecropia)天然保幼激素的化学结构后,国外对保幼激素类似物的人工合成和生物活性的研究进展较快。如美国加强保幼激素的研究主要是为了创 Silk production has a long history in our country, especially since the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Under the guideline of Chairman Mao’s revolutionary line, the principle of “taking grain as the key link and all-round development” has been followed. Silk production has greatly developed. At the same time, silkworm science Technical research, but also put forward higher requirements. Insect juvenile hormone analogues in sericulture on the application of research is to explore new ways to increase silk production. Insect hormones, since the chemical structure of natural juvenile hormone of Platysamia cecropia was identified in 1967, the research on artificial synthesis and bioactivity of juvenile hormone analogues abroad is progressing rapidly. Such as the United States to strengthen the study of juvenile hormone is mainly to create
