<scp>MicroRNA miR</scp>‐7‐5p|‐1|0| regulates wing development in brown planthoppers, <i>Nilaparvata lugens</i>
This study is the first to establish miR-7-5p|-1|0| as a post-transcriptional regulator of Mad-family proteins in insects, expanding our understanding of miRNA-driven developmental plasticity. By linking conserved miRNAs to species-specific polyphenic traits, our findings provide a framework for targeting miR-7-5p|-1|0|-Nlmad1 interactions in novel pest management strategies aimed at disrupting wing development and population dispersal. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
