Both 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) and miRNAs have multiple functions in the regulation of various physiological processes in insects. However, little is known about the interaction between 20E and miRNAs. In this study, six small RNA libraries were constructed from the adult Galeruca daurica treated with 20E and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), respectively. Using small RNA sequencing, a total of 183 miRNAs, including 140 known and 43 novel miRNAs, were identified. Compared with the control (DMSO), 52 miRNAs (21 up-regulated and 31 down-regulated) were significantly differentially expressed after 20E treatment. The KEGG and GO analysis of the predicted genes targeted by 20E-responsive miRNAs indicate that 20E may influence the metabolic change during reproductive diapause in G. daurica via regulating miRNAs.

20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) signaling plays an important role in regulating insect growth, development, and reproduction. However, the effect of 20E on reproductive diapause and its regulatory mechanisms have not been fully understood. is a new pest in the Inner Mongolia grasslands, and it aestivates in an obligatory reproductive diapause form.

Plants are important ecological factors and food resources, which can significantly affect the occurrence and distribution of insects. The metabolites in host plants can affect the feeding, spawning, and avoidance behaviors of herbivorous insects. (Joannis) is a phytophagous pest that has seriously occurred in the desert steppe of Inner Mongolia in recent years, only infesting the leaves of plants.

The MARK2 gene, coding microtubule affinity-regulating kinase or serine/threonine protein kinase, is an important modulator in organism microtubule generation and cell polarity. However, its role in the metamorphosis of insects remains unknown. In this study, we found a conserved miRNA, miR-7-5p, which targets MARK2 to participate in the regulation of the larval-pupal metamorphosis in Galeruca daurica.

Background: Galeruca daurica has become a new pest on the Inner Mongolia grasslands since an abrupt outbreak in 2009 caused serious damage. As a pupa indicator during insect metamorphosis, the early response gene of the ecdysone signaling pathway, Broad-Complex (Br-C), plays a vital role in the growth and development of insects. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs which mediate various biological activities, but it is unknown whether and how Br-C is regulated by miRNAs.

(Joannis) is a pest species with serious outbreaks in the Inner Mongolian grasslands in recent years, and its larvae and eggs are extremely cold-tolerant. To gain a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanism of its cold-tolerant stress response, we performed de novo transcriptome assembly of via RNA-Seq and compared the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of first- and second-instar larvae grown and developed indoors and outdoors, respectively. The results show that cold tolerance in is associated with changes in gene expression mainly involved in the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway, the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway and the production of heat shock proteins (HSPs).
