Identification and characterization of microRNAs in small brown planthopper (Laodephax striatellus) by next-generation sequencing.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding small RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and are thought to play critical roles in many metabolic activities in eukaryotes. The small brown planthopper (Laodephax striatellus Fallén), one of the most destructive agricultu...
