Genome-Wide Characterization and Gene Expression Analysis of TRP Channel Superfamily Genes in the Migratory Locust, Locusta migratoria

The TRP channel superfamily was widely found in multiple species. They were involved many extrasensory perceptions and important for adapting to the environment. migratory locust one of worldwide agricultural pests due huge damage. In this study, we identified 13 genes genome. number LmTRP consistent with most insects. phylogenetic tree showed that could be divided into seven subfamilies. conserved motifs domains analysis documented contained unique characteristics superfamily. expression profiles different organs head antennae, which sensory function. pattern life phases also demonstrated mainly expressed third-instar nymphs male adults. Our findings contribute a better understanding gene provide potential targets insect control.
