Transcriptomic and metabolomic reprogramming in cotton after Apolygus lucorum feeding implicated in enhancing recruitment of the parasitoid Peristenus spretus
Journal of Pest Science 95 (1), 249-262
Abstract: Different types of insect feeding can activate distinct plant resistance mechanisms and trigger the generation of specific volatile compounds. Transcriptomic changes and the genomic basis underlying plant defense in response to chewing herbivores or phloem-feeding insects have been relatively well investigated, while better insight into molecular mechanisms underlying the plant defense response, in particular, volatile emissions triggered by sap-feeding insects such as the green plant bug Apolygus lucorum is needed. Here, we monitored transcriptomic and volatile metabolomic changes in cotton over time during A. lucorum infestation. RNA-seq analysis showed that 1614 transcripts were differentially expressed (log₂
