De novo transcriptome assemblies of five major European oilseed rape insect pests.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Insect pests can cause severe losses in oilseed rape yields across Europe. Genomic and transcriptomic information is very limited for these insects. The aim of our study was to provide transcriptomic resources on several oilseed rape herbivores that will support research into their biology and help develop new methods of sustainable pest management.

Data

Transcriptomes for larval stages of five major European pest species were de novo assembled by Trinity assembler. Total number of transcripts ranged from 112,247 for Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus to 225,110 for Ceutorhyncus napi. Intermediate numbers of 140,588, 140,998 and 144,504, were found for Psylliodes chrysocephala, Dasineura brassicae, and Brassicogethes aeneus, respectively. Bench-marking universal single-co
