Project description:The brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) is the most destructive pest of rice and causes serious economic damage in Asia. Understanding the composition of Nilaparvata lugens cuticle protein will help pest control. In this study, Nilaparvata lugens cuticle was disserted, and underwent shotgun MS/MS analysis.
Project description:Nilaparvata lugens, the brown planthopper (BPH) sucks the rice phloem sap containing high sucrose to obtain carbon source. The comparative gene expression analyses were perfomed during feeding against starvation in order to determine sugar transporter and other feeding related gene expression.

Project description:The antennal transcriptome analysis was performed for F. occidentalis and F. intonsa, and the putative chemosensory genes (OBPs and CSPs) were identified and compared between the two species
Project description:Nilaparvata lugens, the brown planthopper (BPH) sucks the rice phloem sap containing high sucrose to obtain carbon source. The comparative gene expression analyses were perfomed during feeding against starvation in order to determine sugar transporter and other feeding related gene expression. Young BPH females that feed rice seedlings or feed-deprived (water-supplied) for 24 hours were prepared in triplicate. Gene expression was compared in these two groups: feeding and feed-deprived.
