Key Findings
- Researchers at Shanxi Agricultural University studied the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in honeybees under heat stress
- They identified 7,842 lncRNAs and found 115 that were differentially expressed after heat exposure
- Silencing the most highly expressed lncRNA, MSTRG.9645.5, led to significant changes in heat shock protein (HSP) gene expression, indicating lncRNAs' role in stress response
