Abstract

Currently, a wealth of genomic data are now accessible for numerous insect natural enemies, serving as valuable resources that deepen our understanding of the genetic basis of biocontrol traits in these organisms. We summarize the current state of genome sequencing and highlight candidate genes related to biocontrol traits that hold promise for genetic improvement. We also review the recent population genomic studies in biological control and the discovery of potential insecticidal genes in parasitoid wasps. Collectively, current genomic works have shown the powerful ability to identify candidate genes responsible for desirable traits or promising effectors. However, further functional study is necessary to gain a mechanistic understanding of these genes, and future efforts are also needed to develop suitable approaches to translate genomic insights into field applications.

农业生态系统中昆虫天敌的基因组学。

目前，我们可以获得大量昆虫天敌的基因组数据，这些宝贵的数据加深了我们对这些生物的生物防治性状的遗传基础的了解。我们总结了基因组测序的现状，并重点介绍了与生物防治性状相关的候选基因，这些基因有望用于基因改良。我们还回顾了最近在生物防治领域开展的种群基因组研究，以及在寄生蜂中发现的潜在杀虫基因。总之，目前的基因组研究工作已显示出强大的能力，可以鉴定出负责理想性状或有希望的效应物的候选基因。然而，为了从机理上了解这些基因，有必要开展进一步的功能研究，今后还需要努力开发适当的方法，将基因组学的见解转化为实地应用。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Insect Science is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up–to–date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Insect Science. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year. The following 11 areas are covered by Current Opinion in Insect Science. -Ecology -Insect genomics -Global Change Biology -Molecular Physiology (Including Immunity) -Pests and Resistance -Parasites, Parasitoids and Biological Control -Behavioural Ecology -Development and Regulation -Social Insects -Neuroscience -Vectors and Medical and Veterinary Entomology There is also a section that changes every year to reflect hot topics in the field. Section Editors, who are major authorities in their area, are appointed by the Editors of the journal. They divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasized. Section Editors commission articles from leading scientists on each topic that they have selected and the commissioned authors write short review articles in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that, in their opinion, are most important. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the previous year.
