Abstract
Domestication and improvement of crop plants and animals have been part of agriculture for thousands of years, and many agricultural systems are therefore artificial. Genetic manipulation of other beneficial arthropods, such as silkworms and honeybees, has been conducted for hundreds of years (Hoy, 1990; Yokoyama, 1973). As in crop breeding, four potential genetic–manipulation strategies exist: artificial selection, hybridization (use of heterosis), mutation, and recombinant DNA techniques.
