中文摘要：

赤拟谷盗Tribolium castaneum是一种重要的模式生物,在遗传、发育、生化与免疫等研究领域均取得了重要的研究进展。同时它也是一种危害极大的鞘翅目类储粮害虫,在世界各地都有分布,每年给储藏物造成了数十亿美元的经济损失。其全基因组测序的完成、遗传操作体系的构建及系统RNAi方法的应用都极大地促进了其功能基因组学的研究。本文综述了近年来赤拟谷盗基因组计划及功能基因组学的研究进展,拟为赤拟谷盗的生物学研究和防治奠定基础。

英文摘要：

Tribolium castaneum is a powerful model organism for research in such fields as insect genetics,biology development,biochemistry and immunity,and rapid and useful progress has been made in these fields in recent years.T.castaneum is also an important coleopteran pest of stored agricultural products.This globally distributed pest causes billions of dollars of damage to such stored products each year.Recently,the sequencing of the entire genome of T.castaneum,the construction of their genetics operation systems,and the utilization of the systemic RNA interference,have greatly facilitated and accelerated research on their functional genomics and the related fields.In order to facilitate research on both the fundamental biology and control of T.castaneum,we here review progresses and achievements in research on T.castaneum genome projects and functional genomics over the past few years.
