Journal ArticleDOI

Insect genomes: progress and challenges

TL;DR: Comparative genomics analysis showed that the expansion or contraction of gene families was associated with well‐studied physiological traits such as immune system, metabolic detoxification, parasitism and polyphagy in insects.
Journal ArticleDOI

A chromosome-level genome assembly of Cydia pomonella provides insights into chemical ecology and insecticide resistance

TL;DR: The high-quality genome assembly of C. pomonella informs the genetic basis of its invasiveness, suggesting the codling moth has distinctive capabilities and adaptive potential that may explain its worldwide expansion.
Journal ArticleDOI

InsectBase 2.0: a comprehensive gene resource for insects.

TL;DR: InsectBase 2.0 as mentioned in this paper is an updated database of 815 insect genomes, 25 805 transcriptomes and >16 million genes, including 15 045 111 coding sequences, 3 436 022 3'UTRs, 4 345 664 5'UTR, 112 162 miRNAs and 1 293 430 lncRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

miR-34 modulates wing polyphenism in planthopper.

TL;DR: It is discovered that a conserved microRNA, miR-34, modulates a positive autoregulatory feedback loop of JH and insulin/IGF signaling (IIS) pathway to control wing polyphenism in BPH, uncovering a comprehensive regulation mechanism which integrates almost all known regulators controlling wing poly phenotypes in insects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transgenic microRNA-14 rice shows high resistance to rice stem borer.

TL;DR: The identification of an insect‐specific microRNA, miR‐14, in RSB, which was predicted to target Spook (Spo) and Ecdysone receptor (EcR) in the ecdysone signalling network indicated that the approach of miRNAs as targets has potential for improving pest control methods.
