Interactions at the Oviposition Scar: Molecular and Metabolic Insights into Elaeagnus angustifolia's Resistance Response to Anoplophora glabripennis.

ABSTRACT: The Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia), which functions as a "dead-end trap tree" for the Asian long-horned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) in mixed plantations, can successfully attract Asian long-horned beetles for oviposition and subsequently kill the eggs by gum. This study aimed to investigate gum secretion differences by comparing molecular and metabolic features across three conditions-an oviposition scar, a mechanical scar, and a healthy branch-using high-performance liquid chromatography and high-throughput RNA sequencing methods. Our findings indicated that the gum mass secreted by an oviposition scar was 1.65 times greater than that secreted by a mechanical scar. Significant differences in gene expression and metabolism were observed among the three compariso
