Expression Analysis Reveals Differentially Expressed Genes in BPH and WBPH Associated with Resistance in Rice RILs Derived from a Cross between RP2068 and TN1.

ABSTRACT: BPH (brown planthopper) and WBPH (white backed planthopper) are significant rice pests that often co-occur as sympatric species and cause substantial yield loss. Despite their genetic similarities, different host-resistance genes confer resistance against these two hoppers. The defense mechanisms in rice against these pests are complex, and the molecular processes regulating their responses remain largely unknown. This study used specific recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between rice varieties RP2068-18-3-5 (BPH- and WBPH-resistant) and TN1 (BPH- and WBPH-susceptible) to investigate the mechanisms of interaction between these planthoppers and their rice hosts. WBPH and BPH were allowed to feed on specific RILs, and RNA-Seq was carried out on WBPH insects. Transcriptome
