Research advances in diapause in small parasitic wasps in all the world in the last ten years
Diapause exists in a variety of small parasitic wasps.By means of diapause control,the longterm storage of the species can be realized,the time of prevention and control can be prolonged,the resistance of the products can be improved,which is significant to the production and application of parasitic wasps.This paper summarizes the literatures on the diapause of small parasitic wasps at home and abroad since 2007,and collects 37 species of parasitic wasps,which belong to 10 families and 21 genera.The study involves diapause characteristics,diapause induction factors,maternal influence,post-diapause development,and molecular mechanisms of diapause.Small parasitic wasps have longer duration,usually for several months,up to 4 years;photoperiod and temperature are the main factors that induce diapause,and the maternal influence has a significant effect on the diapause of some parasitic bees.Diapause had a significant effect on the life and reproductive capacity of parasitic wasps,which had both positive and negative effects;During the process of diapause,the in vivo metabolic pathway and protein expression have been significantly changed,and because of the use of proteomics technology,we have found a large number of diapause-associated protein,but the specific protein and gene function analysis and diapause hormone regulation and other issues need to be further studied.
