摘要

Quantitative genetic studies of the life history and behavioral traits are important in the quality control of insect mass-rearing programs. First, the quality control for mass-reared insects is briefly summarized from the view of quantitative genetics. Second, differences in some characteristics between wild and mass-reared melon fly (Bactrocera cucurbitae) strains in Okinawa are reviewed, and the genetic factors which can cause these differences are discussed. Third, some quantitative genetic studies evaluating the quality of mass-reared melon flies are also reviewed. These include heritability estimations and artificial selection experiments. Fourth, recent advances in studies on relationships between clock genes and quality control for sterile insect techniques which depend on the successful mating of released males with wild females are briefly introduced. Finally, genetic relationships between life-history and behavioral traits are discussed using the Okinawa mass-reared melon fly as a model case of quantitative genetic aspects in quality control of mass-reared insects especially for sterile insect techniques.

在大量飼育昆蟲的品質管制計畫中，生活史及行為特性的定量遺傳研究很重要。本文之內容包括：（一）由定量遺傳之觀點，概要摘述大量飼育昆蟲的品質管制。（二）綜論琉球野生及大量飼育之瓜實蠅在某些特性上之差異，並討論造成這些差異的遺傳因子。（三）綜論數項評估大量飼育瓜實蠅品質管制的定量遺傳研究，如遺傳性估計和人工選育實驗。（四）概述近來有關時鐘基因與不孕性昆蟲品質管制關係之研究進展，其中不孕性昆蟲技術的成效取決於釋放的雄蟲能否成功地與野生雌蟲交尾。（五）以在琉球大量飼育不孕性瓜實蠅品質管制與定量遺傳關聯者為例，討論生活史與行為特性間之遺傳關係。
