microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that trigger RNA interference (RNAi) in eukaryotic organisms. The biogenesis pathways for these ncRNAs are well established in Drosophila melanogaster, Aedes aegypti, Bombyx mori and other insects, but lacking in hymenopteran species, particularly in parasitoid wasps. Pteromalus puparum is a parasitoid of pupal butterflies. This study identified and analyzed two pathways by interrogating the P. puparum genome. All core genes of the two pathways are present in the genome as a single copy, except for two genes in the siRNA pathway, R2D2 (two copies) and Argonaute-2 (three). Conserved domain analyses showed the protein structures in P. puparum were similar to cognate proteins in other insect species. Phylogenetic analyses of hymenopteran Dicer and Argonaute genes suggested that the siRNA pathway-related genes evolved faster than those in the miRNA pathway. The study found a decelerated evolution rate of P. puparum Dicer-2 with respect to Dicer-1, which was contrary to other hymenopterans. Expression analyses revealed high mRNA levels for all miRNA pathway genes in P. puparum adults and the siRNA related genes were expressed in different patterns. The findings add valuable new knowledge of the miRNA and siRNA pathways and their regulatory actions in parasitoid wasps.

脂肪肝是奶牛围产期常见多发的营养代谢性疾病,特别是高产奶牛的发病率极高,常常伴随难产,并诱发多种炎性反应等疾病.此外,还会导致奶牛产奶量减少和平均寿命降低,给奶牛养殖业带来巨大损失.因此探究围产期奶牛脂肪肝的发展进程,对于切实提升高产奶牛的经济价值,和对奶牛脂肪肝的预防与治疗有着重要意义.本文对奶牛围产期脂肪肝的研究情况进行了综述.

Plant parasitic nematodes secrete effector proteins to parasitize hosts successfully. Of these proteins, serine carboxypeptidases have critical roles in pathogenicity. This study investigated the role of new effector AbSCP1 in Aphelenchoides besseyi patho
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (ca. 20–24 nucleotides) non-coding RNAs that have recently been recognized as key post-transcriptional modulators of gene expression; and they are involved in many biological processes in plants, such as root growth and develo
