Metabolic relay gene of aphid and primary symbiont as RNAi target loci for aphid control.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Aphids form a stable and mutually beneficial relationship with their primary symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, which play an important role in providing the missing nutrients to the host aphid. Based on the genome sequence of wheat aphid Siotobion miscanthi and its primary symbiont Buchnera that we obtained in our previously study, we identified a metabolic relay gene, ilvA, involved in the isoleucine synthesis pathway between aphids and Buchnera.

Method

In this study, we identified the location and sequence structure of ilvA gene in aphid genome, the expression level in different instars and tissues of aphids, and the effect of reducing ilvA expression on the growth and development of aphids by bioinformatics analysi
