主要研究方向及内容:

本课题组近年来主要以家蚕等鳞翅目昆虫和黑水虻为对象,在构建稳定高效的昆虫遗传操作与基因组编辑体系的基础上,通过研究昆虫性别决定机理及性别调控、害虫遗传防治和有机废弃物资源化利用等方面开展了一系列基础与应用基础研究。主要开展了以下研究工作:

(1) 在家蚕中,基于家蚕已经构建好的遗传操作平台,开展家蚕性别调控研究,构建家蚕性别特异致死与不育系统;开展家蚕抗病毒研究,构建复合抗病毒家蚕;开展MicroRNA及昆虫发育相关基因的功能研究,阐明昆虫发育调控的关键分子机制;

(2) 以美国白蛾、亚洲玉米螟、斜纹夜蛾和草地贪夜蛾为鳞翅目害虫害虫代表,构建遗传操作平台,开展遗传调控研究,为害虫种群遗传调控的研究和发展奠定理论和实验基础;

(3) 以资源昆虫黑水虻为对象,基于CRISPR/Cas9系统的基因组编辑技术,构建黑水虻遗传操作平台,进行功能基因组学研究;基于宏基因组学,开展黑水虻与肠道微生物相互作用的机理研究;开展黑水虻脂肪合成及代谢机理研究,解析黑水虻脂肪酸代谢调控网络。提升黑水虻转化有机废弃物的效率。

研究进展:

构建与完善了家蚕性别决定通路。克隆家蚕性别决定sxl tra2 dsx fru ovo out piwi psi imp 等相关基因。并且利用基因组编辑和转基因方法研究了它们在家蚕性别决定中的作用,为家蚕性别决定通路相关基因的功能研究提供了遗传学和表型证据,也为深入阐明昆虫的性别决定和调控机制提供了进一步的理论依据(PLoS Genet, 2017; PNAS, 2018)。成果详细介绍:
