CYP4BN4v7 regulates the population density dependent oocyte maturity rate in bean beetles.

ABSTRACT: The bean beetle (Callosobruchus maculatus) clearly exhibits population density-dependent polymorphism. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) is involved in many aspects of the physiological activities of insects. However, the role of CYP in population density-dependent polymorphisms remains unknown. The terminal oocyte maturity rate of high-population-density individuals (H) was faster than that of low-population-density individuals (L). A total of 56 CYP-like genes were identified from transcriptomic and genomic data, including seven clan 2 CYP-like genes, seven mitochondrial CYP-like genes, 19 clan 3 CYP-like genes, and 23 clan 4 CYP-like genes. Gene duplication might occur in CYP9Z4-like, CYP345A1-like, CYP345A2-like, CYP349A1-like, CYP349A2-like, and CYP4BN4-like. Thirteen and two CYP-like genes were
