Abstract Organisms residing in regions with alternating seasons often develop different phenotypes, or forms, each season. These forms are adaptations to season and result from an altered developmental response specific environmental cues such as temperature. Although multiple studies have examined form-specific gene expression profiles a diversity of species, little is known about how environments transitions, cued by hormone pulses, alter post-transcriptional patterns. In this study, we examine expression, alternative splicing, miRNA-mediated silencing Bicyclus anynana butterfly hindwing tissue, varies across two rearing temperatures at four timepoints. timepoints flank temperature-sensitive periods that coincide pulses the insect 20E. Our results suggest coincident 20E elicit greater impact on all these transcriptomic patterns than per se. More similar observed pre-20E those post-20E pulses. We also found functionally distinct sets differentially expressed genes (DEGs) spliced (DSGs) seasonal forms. Furthermore, around 10% DEGs predicted be direct targets of, regulated by, miRNAs (DEmiRs) between Many DEGs, DEmiRs, DSGs potentially regulate eyespot size plasticity, validated differential splicing pattern one gene, daughterless. present comprehensive interactive atlas tissue both B. throughout development, model organism plasticity.

Utilizing chemical agents in pest management modern agricultural practices has been the predominant approach since advent of synthetic insecticides. However, insecticide resistance is an emerging issue, as populations evolve to survive exposure chemicals that were once effective controlling them, underlining need for advanced and innovative approaches managing pests. In insects, microRNAs (miRNAs) serve key regulators a wide range biological functions, characterized by their dynamic expression patterns ability target genes. Recent studies are increasingly attributed significance miRNAs contributing evolution numerous insect species. Abundant have discovered insects using RNA sequencing transcriptome analysis known play vital roles regulation at both transcriptional post-transcriptional levels. Globally, there growing research interest characterization application miRNAs, especially potential role resistance. This review focuses on how contribute regulating across various Furthermore, we discuss gain loss functions techniques delivering into system. The emphasizes miRNA-based strategies studying diminishing resistance, offering more efficient lasting management.
