Expression of candidate miRNA from literature
Expression profiles of candidate miRNAs identified as differentially
expressed between direct developing and diapausing pupae of the flySarcophaga bullata (Reynolds et al., 2017), pharate larvae of the
mosquito Aedes albopictus (Batz et al., 2017), and pupae of the
moth Helicoverpa zea (Reynolds, Nachman, & Denlinger, 2019) were
checked for differential expression during diapause in both tissues ofP. napi . Combined, this comprised 16 candidate miRNA genes:
miR-1-3p, miR-9c-5p, miR-13b-3p, miR-14-5p, miR-31a-5p, miR-92b-3p,
miR-275-3p, miR-276a-3p, miR-277-3p, miR-282, miR-283-5p, miR-286b-3p,
miR-289-5p, miR-305-5p, miR-2942-3p, and bantam-5p.
