Multiomics analysis of cassava with different ploidy levels in response toTetranychus cinnabarinus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is cultivated for its starchy root and mainly used as starch and biofuel feedstock in China. The red spider mite (Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisduval) is one of the main insect pests reducing cassava yields and becoming more and more serious with regard to the increasing continuous cropping years in China.

Results

The results indicated that SC205 (4×) was more resistant to T. cinnabarinus infestation than SC205 (2×) according to the leaf damage ingestion, nutrient substance and secondary metabolite results. The T. cinnabarinus infestation triggered the expression of many genes and various metabolic processes reaction. Under the mite feeding stress, SC205 (2×) and SC205 (4×) shared 4494 and 5849 differentially expressed genes (DEGs
