Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ericerus pela is an important source of insect wax with significant economic value. Despite its adaptability to diverse climates, variations in growth and wax layer thickness existed across populations. In white wax production, E. pela sourced from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau served as seed insects, transported to wax-producing regions (Sichuan and Hunan) to enhance white wax secretion. RESULTS: Genome...
