RNA-seq analysis of gene expression changes during pupariation in Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) has been considered to be one of the most important agricultural pest around the world. As a holometabolous insect, larvae must go through a metamorphosis process with dramatic morphological and structural changes to complete their development. To better understand the molecular mechanisms of these changes, RNA-seq of B. dorsalis from wandering stage (WS), late wandering stage (LWS) and white puparium stage (WPS) were performed.

Results

In total, 11,721 transcripts were obtained, out of which 1914 genes (578 up-regulated and 1336 down-regulated) and 2047 genes (655 up-regulated and 1392 down-regulated) were found to be differentially expressed between WS and LWS, as well as between WS and WPS, respectively. Of t
