Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Chemoreception Organs of Laodelphax striatellus in Response to Rice Stripe Virus Infection.

ABSTRACT: Many vector-borne viruses possess the ability to manipulate vector behaviors to facilitate their transmission. There is evidence that the mechanism of this phenomenon has been described in part as direct manipulation through regulating vector chemosensation. Rice stripe virus (RSV) is transmitted by the small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus (Fallen), in a persistent, circulative-propagative manner. The effect of RSV infection on the olfactory system of L. striatellus has not been fully elucidated. Here, we employed transcriptomic sequencing to analyze gene expression profiles in antennae, legs and heads (without antennae) from L. striatellus females and males with/without RSV infection. Comparisons of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among antennae, legs and heads indica
