昆虫已被广泛用作研究高等真核生物发育模式相关生化变化的实验生物。人们只要回忆一下果蝇对生物化学遗传学的贡献，就能认识到它在探索发育的生物化学方面的潜力。在昆虫变态过程中大分子的变化和基因活动的控制的深入讨论是有限的，这卷的格式。首先，许多生物化学工作与激素变化有关，最近已经进行了综述（Sridhara等人，1978年）。第二，在这个领域中，最近许多有趣的进展都是在两个系统中发生的，这两个系统都在本书中单独讨论（第7章和第8章）。第三，由于研究的生物体和组织的多样性作为一个特定的发育年龄或激素环境的功能，很少有概括可以从大分子变化，特别是那些有关蛋白质和RNA的公布的数据。
Insects have been used extensively as the experimental organisms of choice to study biochemical changes associated with the developmental patterns of higher eukaryotes. One has only to recall the contributions of Drosophila to biochemical genetics to realize its potential for probing the biochemistry of development. An in-depth discussion of macromolecular changes and control of gene activities during insect metamorphosis is limited by the format of this volume. First, much of the biochemical work is in relation to hormonal changes and has been reviewed recently (Sridhara et al., 1978). Second, much of the interesting recent progress in this field has occurred with two systems, both of which are discussed individually in this volume (Chapters 7 and 8). Third, due to the diversity of organisms and tissues studied as a function of a specific developmental age or hormonal milieu, few generalizations can be drawn from published data on macromolecular changes, particularly those pertaining to protein and RNA.
