Abstract
. Ecdysone induced miR-275-3p and miR-305-5p through the ecdysone response effectors (EcREs) at the upstream of the pre-miR-275 cluster. Overall, the results might help us further understand the relationship between ecdysone signalling pathways and small RNAs in the development and metamorphosis of insects.
