The parasitoid wasp (Howard) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) has the potential for biological control against insect pests in stored grains, mainly of the orders Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA fragments of importance in the regulation of gene translation in most physiological processes, and the study of miRNAs in wasps can be useful for understanding the physiology of these insects. The objective of this study was to evaluate for the first time the miRNomic profile of and to determine its conservation in five species of the order Hymenoptera (, , , and ). Using molecular techniques and bioinformatics tools, a total of 108 miRNAs were identified (75 conserved between species and 34 de novo). These miRNAs were found to be related to embryogenesis, signaling, metabolic, biological and immune functions. The miRNomic signature of is important for the study of the physiology of wasps and the order Hymenoptera.
寄生蜂(霍华德)(膜翅目:金小蜂科)具有对储粮中主要为鞘翅目和鳞翅目害虫进行生物防治的潜力。微小RNA(miRNA)是在大多数生理过程中对基因翻译调控具有重要意义的小非编码RNA片段,对黄蜂中miRNA的研究有助于理解这些昆虫的生理学。本研究的目的是首次评估[黄蜂名称未给出]的miRNA组图谱,并确定其在膜翅目五个物种([物种名称未给出]、[物种名称未给出]、[物种名称未给出]、[物种名称未给出]和[物种名称未给出])中的保守性。使用分子技术和生物信息学工具,共鉴定出108个miRNA(75个在物种间保守,34个为新发现的)。这些miRNA被发现与胚胎发生、信号传导、代谢、生物学和免疫功能有关。[黄蜂名称未给出]的miRNA组特征对于黄蜂和膜翅目生理学的研究很重要。
