Transcriptome analysis of megalurothrips usitatus (Bagnall) identifies olfactory genes with ligands binding characteristics of MusiOBP1 and MusiCSP1.

ABSTRACT: The olfactory system is an important component of insect behavior and is vital for survival and reproduction. However, the genomic characterization and molecular basis of the olfactory response of Megalurothrips usitatus remain relatively unknown. RNA sequencing-built developmental transcriptomes of nymphs, pupae, and adult M. usitatus were examined in order to establish the sequence-based background of M. usitatus olfactory responses. A total of 56,669 unigenes were annotated using GO, NR, Pfam, eggNOG, SwissProt, and KEGG. The number of differentially expressed genes between pupae and nymphs, males and nymphs, and females and nymphs were 10,498, 9,235, and 10,964, respectively. One odorant-binding protein (MusiOBP1) and one chemosensory protein (MusiCSP1) were select
