Infestation of Rice Striped Stem Borer (Chilo suppressalis) Larvae Induces Emission of Volatile Organic Compounds in Rice and Repels Female Adult Oviposition.

ABSTRACT: Plants regulate the biosynthesis and emission of metabolic compounds to manage herbivorous stresses. In this study, as a destructive pest, the pre-infestation of rice striped stem borer (SSB, Chilo suppressalis) larvae on rice (Oryza sativa) reduced the subsequent SSB female adult oviposition preference. Widely targeted volatilomics and transcriptome sequencing were used to identify released volatile metabolic profiles and differentially expressed genes in SSB-infested and uninfested rice plants. SSB infestation significantly altered the accumulation of 71 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including 13 terpenoids. A total of 7897 significantly differentially expressed genes were identified, and genes involved in the terpenoid and phenylpropanoid metabolic pathways were highl
