Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Head in Laodelphax striatellus upon Rice Stripe Virus Infection

Rice stripe virus (RSV) is transmitted by the small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, in a circulative-propagative manner. Multiple studies have proved that RSV can manipulate vector insects to facilitate its transmission and alter gene expressions viruliferous SBPH. However, best of our knowledge, nobody has investigated head SBPH after acquisition. In this study, investigate genes functions regulated infection SBPH, we used RNA sequencing compare transcriptional profiles between samples acquired or not. Compared with non-viruliferous total 336 differentially expressed (DEGs) were identified groups, including 186 up-regulated 150 down-regulated genes. Here, focused on DEGs may be involved replication transmission, primarily associated nervous system, cytochrome P450s, sugar metabolism, olfactory cuticular process, as well been previously reported affect insect vectors ubiquitin-protein ligase (E3), ecdysone response (E74A), vitellogenin receptor (VgR). Finally, verified accuracy transcriptome results using qRT-PCR selecting 16 DEGs. Our contribute understanding effects regulation provide insight into control plant vectors.
