中文摘要:
      植物与植食性昆虫之间存在着复杂的竞争与共生关系,促使双方经历了长期的协同进化。小RNA(small RNA,sRNA)是一类序列短于300 nt的非编码RNA,通过调控基因表达而影响生物体的生长发育。更为重要的是,sRNA还可以在不同物种间传递,以跨界的方式调控其他物种的基因表达,这种跨界调控在生物间的信息交流中扮演着至关重要的角色。本文总结了作物与害虫间sRNA跨界调控的最新进展,发现植物源sRNA能够调控昆虫的生长、发育和繁殖,而昆虫源sRNA也能进入植物体内,调控植物的防御反应等。sRNA精准识别目标基因的特异性高、结构稳定性强以及植物源sRNA对害虫的调控作用使其在害虫防控中具有极大的应用前景,利用转基因植物表达昆虫sRNA或开发新型绿色核酸农药等,是农业害虫防治的新思路。
英文摘要:
      The complex interplay between competition and symbiosis among plants and phytophagous insects has driven their long-term coevolutionary dynamics. Small RNAs (sRNAs), non-coding RNA molecules typically less than 300 nucleotides in length, act as key regulators of gene expression and influence organismal development. Notably, these sRNAs exhibit trans-kingdom mobility, enabling cross-species gene regulation that facilitates interspecific communication. This review synthesizes recent advances in sRNA-mediated cross-kingdom regulation within crop–pest systems. Plant-derived sRNAs can precisely modulate insect developmental processes, including metamorphosis and fecundity, whereas insect-derived sRNAs may suppress plant defense responses. The unique characteristics of sRNAs—including high sequence specificity, structural stability, and efficient gene-silencing capability—present novel opportunities for pest management. Emerging strategies, such as transgenic crops expressing pest-specific sRNAs or biodegradable nucleic acid-based pesticides, offer promising and environmentally sustainable approaches for agricultural protection.
