A Comprehensive Transcriptomic and Proteomics Analysis of Candidate Secretory Proteins in Rose Grain Aphid, Metopolophium dirhodum (Walker).

ABSTRACT: The Rose grain aphid, a notable agricultural pest, releases saliva while feeding. Yet, there is a need for a comprehensive understanding of the specific identity and role of secretory proteins released during probing and feeding. Therefore, a combined transcriptomic and proteomic approach was employed in this study to identify putative secretory proteins. The transcriptomic sequencing result led to the assembly of 18,030 unigenes out of 31,344 transcripts. Among these, 705 potential secretory proteins were predicted and functionally annotated against publicly accessible protein databases. Notably, a substantial proportion of secretory genes (71.5%, 69.08%, and 60.85%) were predicted to encode known proteins in Nr, Pfam, and Swiss-Prot databases, respectively. Conversely, 27.37% and 0.99% o
