Alternative splicing perspective to prey preference of environmentally friendly biological agent Cryptolaemus montrouzieri.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cryptolaemus montrouzieri (Coccinellidae) is widely utilized as biological control agents in modern agriculture. A comprehensive understanding of its food preference can help guide mass rearing and safety management during field application of pest control. Although some studies have paid attentions to the impacts of prey shift on C. montrouzieri, little is known regarding the role of post-transcriptional regulations in its acclimation to unnatural preys.

Results

We performed a genome-wide investigation on alternative splicing dynamics in C. montrouzieri in response to the predation transition from natural prey to unnatural ones. When feeding on undesired diets, 402-764 genes were differentially alternative spliced in C. montrouzieri. It is noteworthy that the maj
