Transcriptome and Expression Analysis of Glycerol Biosynthesis-Related Genes in Glenea cantor Fabricius (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae).

ABSTRACT: Glenea cantor Fabricius (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) is an important pest that damages kapok trees in Southeast Asia with a wide adaptability to temperature. Glycerol is a protectant and energy source for insects in low-temperature environments. However, glycerol biosynthesis-related genes at the molecular level are limited in G. cantor. In this study, the supercooling points and freezing points at different stages were measured, and the cold hardiness of male and female pupae significantly differed. Moreover, a full-length transcriptome of G. cantor was established; glycerol kinase (GK) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) genes, which are related to glycerol metabolism, were identified, with a special focus on their expression profiles. A total of 24,476 isoform
