Identification of candidate ATP-binding cassette transporter gene family members in Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) via adult tissues transcriptome analysis.

ABSTRACT: The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters exist in all living organisms and play major roles in various biological functions by transporting a wide variety of substrates across membranes. The functions of ABC transporters in drug resistance have been extensively studied in vertebrates; however, they are rarely characterized in agricultural pests. The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, is one of the most damaging pests of the Citrus genus because of its transmission of Huanglongbing, also known as Yellow Dragon disease. In this study, the next-generation sequencing technique was applied to research the ABC transporters of D. citri. Fifty-three ABC transporter genes were found in the RNA-Seq data, and among these ABC transporters, 4, 4, 5, 2, 1, 4, 18 and 15 ABC proteins belonged to t
