Project description:The goal of this study was to compare RNA Seq profiles of Asian longhorned beetle larval guts feeding on two different substrates to identify key genes involved in woody tissue degradation, nutrient scavenging, and detoxification of host plant defensive compounds.
Project description:Survey of relative gene expression profiles in larvae, pupae, and midguts and fatbodies of teneral, unfed, and fed adult mountain pine beetles from western Nevada, USA.
