Research Progress on Coding RNAs and Non-coding RNAs in Reproductive Traits of Honey Bees

Reproductive traits of honey bee queens are the base of other economic traits in apicultural industry. The genetic and regulatory mechanism of the reproductive traits is an important topic in the field of genetics and breeding in honey bees. In the reproductive processes of honey bees, coding and non-coding RNA play important roles. This paper summarized the basic characteristics and functional mechanisms of messenger RNA (mRNA), microRNA(miRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and circular RNA (circRNA) in the reproductive activities of honey bees, and reviewed the regulation mechanisms of coding and non-coding RNA in the ovary activation and oviposition regulation processes. These studies were important for elucidating the molecular genetic mechanism of reproductive traits in honey bees, and also lay foundations for improving the reproductive performance of honey bees and improving the economic benefits of beekeeping.
