Project description:The olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae is the major pest of olive production. The fly is dependent upon the symbiotic bacterium Candidatus Erwinia dacicola for the survival of the larvae in unripe olives, and in the adult stage they enhance fecundity. A major site of symbiont colonization is the esophageal bulb, yet the molecular interactions within this tissue remain poorly understood. To investigate host gene expression in this symbiont-bearing organ, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of B. oleae esophageal bulbs. This dataset provides a foundational resource for elucidating the functional biology of this organ and offers insights into insect–microbe symbiosis.
Project description:We seqeunced mRNA from the bacterial pathogen 'Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum" during its association with the psyllid vector Bactericera cockerelli. Total RNA was purified from psyllids, insect and bacterial rRNAs were depleted. PolyA RNA was purified using Dynabeads. PolyA purified RNA and depleted RNA were sequenced.
Project description:The green rice leafhopper Nephotettix cincticeps have two mutualistic symbiotic bacteria (Candidatus Sulcia muelleri and Candidatus Nasuia deltocephalinicola) in its symbiont special organ bacteriome and are also infected to rickettsia. In order to determine immune challenge is induced or not in N. cincticeps, we investigated gene expression of Escherichia coli challenged N. cincticeps.
