Abstract: The fundamental methods of genetic studies on the varietal resistance to insect pests of rice are described, and the recent development of inheritance of varietal resistance to the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens), white-backed planthopper (Sogatella furcifera), green leafhopper (Nephotettix virescens), gall midge (Orseolia oryza), zigzag leafhopper (Recilla dorsalis), striped stem borer (Chilo suppressalis) and yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) in rice are summarized. The present problems and prospects of genetic studies were also discussed.

Key words: gene location, genetic analysis, insect pests, methodology, varietal resistance
