Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Candidate Genes During the Prepupal-pupal Transition in the Oriental Armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Abstract:Background
Metamorphosis ensures the transformation of a larva of the holometabolous insects into a reproductive adult through a transitory pupal stage. Understanding how changes in expression levels of genes during the prepupal-pupal transition will inform us of how the metamorphosis arises.
Results
In this study, mature larvae (ML), wandering (W), 1 day (P1), 5 days (P5), and 10 days (P10) after pupation of the Mythimna separata (Walker), a notorious migratory pest of agricultural crops, were selected, for… Show more
