De Novo Transcriptome Profiling of Mustard Aphid (Lipaphis erysimi) and Differential Expression of Transcripts Associated with Feeding and Non-Feeding Conditions and Developmental Stages.

ABSTRACT: Lipaphis erysimi is a specialist aphid of the Indian subcontinent that causes significant yield losses in oilseed Brassicas. Several aphid genes have been used as preferred targets in RNAi-based transgenic plants for aphid resistance. In order to enhance the repertoire of potential target genes for aphid control and to identify the genes associated with aphid feeding and development, we performed a two-way comparative study of differential gene expression profiles between (i) feeding and non-feeding adults and (ii) adult and nymph developmental stages of L. erysimi. De novo RNA-seq of aphids using Illumina technology generated a final transcriptome comprising 52,652 transcripts. Potential transcripts for host selection, detoxification, salivary proteins and effectors, molecul
