Identification of miRNAs and their target genes in Bemisia tabaci when feeding on Nicotiana tabacum plants
The study aims to identify and analyze the miRNAs in Bemisia tabaci that feed on Nicotiana tabacum cv. NC89 plants. This allows for the investigation of insect miRNAs that play important physiological roles in Bemisia tabaci. Additionally, it enables the analysis and identification of miRNAs that are transferred from Nicotiana tabacum to Bemisia tabaci. These data can further help us understand the role of miRNAs in the interaction between Bemisia tabaci and its host plants. Overall design: The experimental design involves identifying miRNAs in MEAM1 Bemisia tabaci while they are feeding on Nicotiana tabacum plants.
