Quantitative transcriptomic and proteomic analyses reveal the potential maintenance mechanism of female adult reproductive diapause in Chrysoperla nipponensis.

Our findings indicated that diapause adult C. nipponensis accumulated more energy to overwinter. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses suggested candidate key genes involved in the maintenance of C. nipponensis during adult reproductive diapause. Taken together, these results provide an in-depth knowledge to understand the maintenance mechanism of C. nipponensis during adult reproductive diapause. This article is protected by copyright.
