Abstract: This paper reviews the latest development in using molecular method to reveal the relationship between insects and plant species. These include: the specialized relation between insects and their host plants, the origin of cultivated plants pests the effect of development stages of plant on the genetic structure of herbivorous insects the genetic structure of plant affected by the distance of pollen dispersal by insects, and the future of forecasting the fate of insect resistant plant species based upon the genetic polymorphism of the insect.
