Background:

Trichogramma chilonis is a vital egg parasitoid for biological control of agricultural and forestry pests.
Understanding its molecular mechanisms is crucial for optimizing its application.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the molecular differences between prepupal and pupal stages of T. chilonis.
To identify genes and pathways involved in metamorphosis using transcriptomic analysis.

Main Methods:

Transcriptomic analysis of T. chilonis prepupae and pupae.
RNA sequencing and data analysis (FPKM standardization, gene annotation).
Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis.

Main Results:

Generated 16.88 Gb of clean data, assembled into 43,136 unigenes.
Identified 117 specific genes in prepupae and 838 in pupae, with 3129 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between stages.
DEGs were enriched in pathways related to chitin metabolism, cell adhesion, nucleotide replication, hormone biosynthesis, and signal transduction.

Conclusions:

Transcriptomic analysis provides insights into the molecular basis of T. chilonis metamorphosis.
Identified key genes and pathways regulating developmental transitions, offering a foundation for future research.
This study enhances our understanding of T. chilonis for improved biological pest control strategies.
