Regulation of microRNA on insect growth and development

doi:10.14088/j.cnki.issn0439-8114.2019.22.045

Abstract

Abstract: microRNA are small non-coding RNA that function in gene regulatory processes in plants and animals by targeting sites within messenger RNA. In insects, microRNA have been shown to regulate a variety of physiological processes throughout insect development, including molting, metamorphosis, oogenesis, embryogenesis, behavior and host-pathogen interactions. The roles of microRNA in the model organism, Drosophila melanogaster, have been studied extensively due to the conserved nature of microRNA function among highly divergent species. However, seeking to understand microRNA function in non-drosophilid insect species has become a growing trend in insect science. The role of microRNA in insect physiology and development in recent years were introduced.

Key words: insect, microRNA, growth, development, regulation
