Project description:Genes expressed in the salivary glands and gut of Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) larvae are likely involved in interactions with host plants. Hessian fly larval tissues were derived from three day old larvae that were cultured on susceptible cultivar Newton. Each tissue sample contained 200 individuals dissected from the same stage of insects. The same type of dissected tissues were pooled and total RNA was extracted from development of microarray probes.
Project description:Genes expressed in the salivary glands and gut of Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) larvae are likely involved in interactions with host plants. RNA samples were extracted from whole larvae. The microarray was used to determine the abundance of transcripts in larvae at different developmental stage or larvae that feed on resistant and susceptible host plants.
